Gratteri: “I explain to young people that it is not worth committing crime”

Explain the judicial system, explain what is needed to make an area safer, but above all what to do to change a mafia mentality and explain the inadvisability of committing crime."

Before taking part in NextGen Legality Focus in Salerno, the prosecutor of Naples, Nicola Gratteri, summarizes the message he intends to address to the young people who are present at the event at the Chamber of Commerce.

"I've been in Naples for almost a year and I've maintained, contrary to others, that Naples doesn't have the violence that has been described as South American. I think giant strides have been made in the area of ​​security," says Nicola Gratteri , responding to reporters who asked him about the Sole 24 Ore data that places Naples in twelfth place in the crime rate rankings, thus outside the top ten.

“Out of 25 murders – he adds – 20 have been discovered, many predatory crimes are discovered, there is a strong presence of law enforcement in the city of Naples”.

“Yes, there is violence, the Camorra is there, but there is also the State, so speaking in terms of defeatism is not true, but at the same time it doesn't help,” concludes Gratteri.
