Camorra, the boss Patrizio Bosti arrested on the prison door

The Naples Flying Squad, the Carabinieri Investigative Unit, the Guardia di Finanza and the Economic-Financial Police, on orders from the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, arrested the boss Patrizio Bosti, his children Ettore Bosti and Flora Bosti and his son-in-law Luca Esposito (husband of his other daughter Maria).

All accused of mafia association, threats, money laundering and self-laundering.

In particular, the boss, who was about to be released from prison, is accused of having taken advantage of a brief release from prison two years ago (thanks to an incorrect calculation in defining the days to be served) to reorganize the Alleanza di Secondigliano criminal family.

Investigators had placed bugs in his home on Via Briganti in Vasto. As soon as he arrived, Bosti allegedly convened the summits , dictating the rules for dealing with enemies of the Mazzarella clan.

And on that occasion he had entrusted management roles to individuals he trusted, deciding on a total reversal of the clan's strategic lines (up until then based on a substantial mafia peace with the opposing Mazzarella cartel).

And on that occasion he had also given instructions to the affiliates that they had to impose on the internal and/or adjacent subjects not to collaborate with justice, or to interrupt the collaborative path.

And at the same time he had mended relations with the other criminal families affiliated with the Secondigliano Alliance and, finally, given instructions regarding the distribution of the "monthsate".

The investigation also revealed that Patrizio Bosti and his son Ettore Bosti allegedly laundered the proceeds of fraud in companies operating in the ferrous waste, telephone, and property rental sectors, primarily using front men who were non-EU citizens.

In addition to the arrests, searches were carried out and two properties and 353.709,95 euros were seized, believed to be the profit from the reinvestment of illicit money.

In conjunction with the personal precautionary measures, delegated searches were carried out against a further 9 individuals, as they were possible holders of cash or other assets on behalf of the suspects.
