The criminal supremacy of the De Micco De Martino clan in the Ponticelli area is highlighted in the investigation that led to last week's raid, resulting in 60 arrests ordered by the Naples DDA.
The approximately 1200 pages of the precautionary order signed by investigating judge Anna Imparato also reveal how the criminal alliance, linked to the Mazzarellas , has used and continues to use social networks, and in particular TikTok, to demonstrate its power and challenge its adversaries.
In March 2022, an account was opened on the social network TikTok, from which, among other things, the alliance with the DI MARTINO “XX” group explicitly emerged.
One of the two images, extracted by investigators, reads, "BODO-XX: they reign over Ponticelli, we'll let you quarantine without the virus" : a clear sign of an unprecedented challenge to their opponents. Furthermore, it should be noted that, in just one day, between March 28th and March 29th, there was a significant increase in followers and likes.
There were also numerous posts on Facebook and Instagram profiles through which the suspects demonstrated their affiliation, publishing photographs of themselves together with explicit phrases of their affiliation or “tagging” the affiliates.
There are then numerous posts, photos and videos also on the affiliates' Instagram profiles in which they show themselves in a group with their associates and in which they always send out challenging signals to their enemies.
The July 2, 2022 draft at lot 10 in Ponticelli and the ironic response of Bodo-Xx
Significant is what happened after the shooting on 2 July 2022 near lot 10 of Ponticelli, which was followed by the arrest of Vincenzo De Luca Bossa , Vincenzo Barbato , and Francesco Di Martino of the De Luca Bossa clan on 22 July 2022 (later convicted with a sentence issued on 27 June 2023, confirmed for Barbato with an appeal sentence of 18 January 2024).
From the social network account “TikTok”, identified by the username “unasolabandierabodo” (Bodo Di Martino/Mazzarella “we put the p… where you think you have the Crown”), clearly attributable to members of the De Martino/De Micco clan, the presence of a video post lasting a few seconds emerged, published on July 3, 2022, the day after the action, bearing the caption in Neapolitan dialect “You are capable of making pigeons wear bulletproof vests (emoticon with laughter), just to remind you”.
And the response from the De Micco De Martino family was not long in coming because shortly after the publication of the post, a shooting followed in the neighbourhood, during which Francesco Sorrentino , linked to the De Luca Bossa family, was injured.

Worrying news, we hope that the authorities will be able to effectively counter these criminal actions.
You'll be speechless reading all this, it almost seems like a movie.
