The Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate of Salerno has completed a major operation to confiscate assets worth over two million euros, attributable to Carlo Montella, a well-known affiliate of the Tempesta Camorra clan, federated with the Nuova Famiglia.
Montella, currently detained in Parma prison, has been definitively convicted of a long series of very serious crimes, including murder, mafia association, usury and extortion.
The confiscation, ordered following a ruling by the Court of Cassation issued on July 1, concerned a real estate complex called “Parco Concetta”, located in Angri, and another real estate property in Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino.
These goods, the result of the illicit activities of Montella, were removed from his criminal heritage and returned to the community.
A cunning boss unmasked
In an attempt to escape justice, Montella had faked a psychiatric illness, feigning cognitive deterioration and obtaining medical reports that attested to his incapacity to understand and to want.
Thanks to this strategy, he had managed to have his position removed from several pending trials between Salerno and Naples.
However, the investigations coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office of Nocera Inferiore, conducted through wiretaps, environmental wiretaps and video recordings, allowed to unmask his fraud and bring him to justice. The evidence collected was decisive in obtaining the definitive convictions against him.
