Camorra, the repentant Rosario Rolletta: "This is how the extortion system worked"

"The 'System' worked like this: as regards the extortion sector, the proceeds of this illicit activity flowed into a common fund managed, first, by Francis Audino o'chinese and later, after his arrest, from Giuseppe De Luca Bossa assisted by Mimì a whore (Domenico Amitrano also known as Mimmo o' pop (editor's note) and from Umberto De Luca Bossa.

As long as the De Martinos were part of the Camorra cartel, all the extortion money ended up in the common fund, from which it was then withdrawn to purchase drugs, weapons, and to pay the salaries of affiliates, lawyers, and the maintenance of prisoners.

The Camorra informer speaks Rosario Rolletta ditto friariello, for a period a man at the top of the De Micco clan of Ponticelli who described how the extortion system worked.

Before his arrest, Francesco Audino was also responsible for distributing salaries. Each group within the Camorra cartel, including the De Martino group, extorted businessmen and individuals engaged in illicit activities in the area, such as scooter, car, and bicycle thieves, as well as counterfeit goods stalls, cigarette smugglers, local markets, and even individuals involved in insurance fraud and check cashing., Rolletta continued.

 Everyone paid the pizzo: from motorbike and car thieves to stall owners

"...I contacted the victims through Pasquale Micco and asked them for €1500 for the work they were doing, which they had to pay to the De Martino clan. De Micco told me that, following my request, they had contacted the Chinese man, Francesco Audino, because, since they had already paid the bribe, they wanted to know why they had to pay me as well.

The Chinese man replied that it was fine and that they had to give me a gift because I was in prison; in the end they paid me 1000 euros, which they delivered to me through De Micco Pasquale."
