He is Gennaro Manetta, known as Genny Maradona, who has just turned 45, one of the key men in the investigation into Contini clan who today brought 11 people to prison, including himself and Manetta.
Article Key Points
In the more than 480 pages of the precautionary order signed by the investigating judge Federica Colucci, dozens of pages of stories from informants are dedicated to him, explaining his role within the clan and especially within the San Giovanni Bosco hospital in Napoli completely controlled by the Arenaccia gang.
He had even been elected councilor of the Municipality in previous years. With two other affiliates he managed a Caf in the Amicizia district which however was nothing more than a cover aimed precisely at facilitating the management of public housing.
He maintained excellent relationships with doctors and chief physicians, procured false claims and also disposable material, such as latex gloves and suits that the clan's killers used for ambushes, material that he secretly took from the San Giovanni Bosco hospital in Naples.
To avoid leaving traces during the raid, the hitmen greased their hair and eyelashes with a gel, and did not leave the investigators with any organic material attributable to them. This was explained by the collaborator of justice Teodoro De Rosa.
“Genny Maradona procured false claims and maintained excellent relations with the doctors and chief physicians of San Giovanni Bosco. He is an individual internal to the clan for whom, as he himself told me, he procured gloves, disposable material from the operating room, where they might be needed for ambushes.
From the hospital he supplied the killers with the kit: disposable masks and suits
I can't say what the disposable overalls could have been used for. I know that the Kit necessary in case of ambushes, Genny Maradona provided it. For example, there was a type of gel that was put in the hair or on the eyelashes to prevent them from falling out and leaving traces of the perpetrators of the crime.
In one case when my father, together with Salvatore Botta, had to kill Peppe and Patrizia Del Piano, an ambush that was supposed to be done in Terracina, where they had arranged to meet. Also on that occasion Genny Maradona provided the kit; I can't say if Genny Maradona was supposed to take part in the ambush. Then they were not killed as I already said.
As well as on the occasion of the murder of Giuseppe Ammendola which was not carried out, he provided the kits. Genny Maradona also lends himself to making false reports for members of the clan functional to the releases from prison and to insurance scams.
Genny Maradona had the management of neo melodic singers and council houses
He is also in contact with neomelodic singers and organizes them on the occasion of the parties of subjects of the clan. But he is also the referent of the same in case of other subjects who want the singer's performances. Genny Maradona also deals with the Council Houses always in the interest of the clan. Because he is very close to those of the San Carlo Arenae Police Station, therefore, he can direct the controls of the subjects who take possession of the Council Houses.
The Caf in Rione Amicizia was a cover for insurance scams
He runs this business together with Ciro Botta, brother of Salvatore Botta, at least when I was part of the clan. He runs a CAF in the Rione Amicizia. It is a cover to carry out the scam activity undisturbed, namely the management of council houses, always in the interest of the clan. In fact, we had him elected as a city councilor (but the repentant is wrong because he was elected as a district councilor, ed.).
He is one of the main pivots that intervenes on the political wing when an activity is necessary in the area of competence of the Contini, Genny Maradona manages private interventions at San Giovanni Bosco. I mean that on some occasions the ticket for the intervention is not paid and the doctor only receives a gift for his service while the money that the private pays is given to the clan.
The clan took money to bypass waiting lists for hospital surgeries
Some procedures, such as gastric bypass, are on the waiting list and can be done for free. But they can also be done privately. We intervene by moving up the list simulating an emergency situation that requires hospitalization.
So the waiting list is skipped and the money is paid to the clan. This is true for surgical interventions. These are interventions that are favored without the need for any prescription. The only recommended prescription is money…”.
