Naples - A disturbing picture emerges from the revelations of newly appointed justice collaborator Michele Ortone, a 24-year-old former member of the Esposito-Nappi and Santagata clans. At the center of the investigation is the parking racket in Naples' nightlife district, run with an iron fist and in close collaboration with the Fuorigrotta mafia, part of the Iadonisi clan.
Horton points the finger at Maria Matilde Nappi, wife of boss Massimiliano Esposito "'o scognato", describing her as the mastermind behind the parking racket in Bagnoli. "He managed the parking lots in Bagnoli.
Maria Matilde Nappi, the woman in command
She was the person who indicated not only the areas, but also the sums to be collected for each vehicle. She was the one who gave orders to Carmine Esposito to collect the money.", says the collaborator, revealing the central role of women in the management of illicit affairs.
Horton's statements also reveal Nappi's ties to the Secondigliano Camorra, in particular to Maria Licciardi. "Maria Nappi was very close to Maria Licciardi, I know this because she spoke to me about it and confirmed this circumstance to me", Horton declares, adding details about meetings and cash "gifts."
Links with the Secondigliano Camorra
And yet: "I once accompanied Maria Nappi to Secondigliano. It was the period in which Massimiliano Esposito he went under house arrest Scalea. I accompanied Nappi to a square where she met three women who handed her a bundle of banknotes that I think were around 3.000 euros.
It was explained to me that it was a gift for the release from prison of Massimiliano Esposito, who was the protégé of Maria Licciardi ever since it was part of the D'Ausilio clan. At the time Maria Licciardi, or in any case Secondigliano, made use of him and of Giannelli to commit murders."
The alliance with the Iadonisi clan
The cooperating witness also shed light on the alliance between the Esposito clan and the Iadonisi clan of Fuorigrotta, as reported by Il Roma, revealing a pact for the purchase of weapons. "It was usually Vincenzo Iadonisi to advance the funds for the purchase of weapons. These sums were then split evenly with the Esposito clan, which received 50 percent of the weapons themselves., explains Horton.
And then: "Vincenzo Iadonisi had personal contacts with the weapons sellers and went personally to buy them, so I can't say where he got them. Carmine Esposito he got us the scooters we needed to go and do the laying. But I went to
do them with the machine".
Investigations into Luca Colimoro's injury
Michele Ortone's revelations open up new investigative scenarios and confirm the widespread presence of the Camorra in the economic and social fabric of the city. The investigations of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Naples continue to shed light on the latest bloody events that have occurred in the area and last but not least the wounding of Luca Colimoro, which marked the resumption of hostilities between the clans interested in everything that moves economically around the Bagnoli nightlife.

It is shocking how it turns out that women can be in charge of illicit activities. Investigations must be thorough to really understand who are the real perpetrators and how they operate in secret, despite everything.
