The switchboard of the gang of scammers busted today by an investigation by the Prosecutor's Office of North Naples with 15 precautionary measures was in a club in Capodichino. The gang was coordinated by the two leaders Giuseppe Esposito, 54, and Antonio Giordano, 31, who also worked as switchboard operators as well as coordinators and organizers of scams against the elderly.
In total, 22 people were investigated in the investigation that culminated in the precautionary order signed by the investigating judge Mariangela Guida of the Court of Naples North. The other two top switchboard operators of the organization were Umberto Paduano and Emmanuele D'Ercole, who as switchboard operators were mainly responsible for calling the elderly victims to threaten them.
They also took care of finding “supports”, that is, apartments where they could contact the elderly, which were changed on a weekly basis to elude investigations. They coordinated their accomplices to find new travelers, rent cars for travel, and buy phones and SIM cards useful for committing the crimes.
While Arsenio Ascione, Stefano Di Guido, Alessio Di Guido, Gennaro Giappone, Christian Migliacco, Giuseppe Barretta, Antonio Paragliola and Renato Coduas had the role of coordinators of the final crimes, in some cases they also acted as switchboard operators and, when necessary, as transfer agents.
They were in charge of procuring minors to be sent as business travellers, personally offering to transport the minors if they were not available. They procured telephones and SIM cards to contact the elderly victims, they also acted as “switchboard operators” contacting the victims directly, and they rented cars to allow the transporters to reach the agreed location.
Giovanni Ranieri, Antonio Mallardo, Marco Fornaro, Rosario Marmolaro. Treasure Stefano Imezuryhha Kinika, Giuseppe Ciano, Osamudianmen Star Okoro, Gianfranco Santi, Cristian Tammaro, with the priority function of transferees, were responsible for going to the place indicated by the association to collect money and valuables from the elderly victims.
Furthermore, they found channels for receiving stolen gold, sought new travellers and organised the material activities of subsequent scams/extortions, collecting a percentage of the proceeds.
