Article Key Points
The arrest was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the DCSA, the International Police Cooperation Service, Europol, the Special Operations Group and the Udyco – Policia National of Madrid.
The man is seriously suspected, together with other individuals, of criminal association aimed at drug trafficking. The charges are aggravated by the participation of more than ten people, the availability of weapons and the support provided to the Camorra clan of the "Beloved-Pagan”, noti come i “Scissionisti”, attivi principalmente nel quartiere Scampia di Napoli e nei comuni limitrofi di Melito e Mugnano di Napoli, con una base logistica situata a Gricignano d’Aversa.
Two criminal organizations dismantled
The investigation coordinated by the Naples DDA has allowed to discover the existence of two distinct criminal organizations operating in the Neapolitan territory, both dedicated to drug trafficking. Although there were no direct functional connections between the two groups, both used the same drug supply channel, mainly cocaine and hashish, managed in Spain by a drug trafficker still at large.
The investigative activities and capture operations were coordinated directly by the DDA, which continues to monitor the situation to bring to justice those still at large.
