Naples - All the stalls in Fuorigrotta paid the protection money to the Troncone clan, albeit late, except one: that of the entrepreneur who two years ago had the courage to report and arrest the boss Vitale Troncone and his son Giuseppe.

“I spoke with Alfredo, everything is fine, we agreed that to open the stalls on New Year's Eve you have to pay 150 euros, then Alfredo comes and you speak directly with him”. Even before New Year's Eve last year the stallholders knew that they would have to pay the protection money to the regent of the Troncone family since both father and son are in prison.
This is Alfredo Graziano, 41 years old, arrested yesterday together with his five loyalists and with whom they had made threats and collected protection money from fireworks vendors. His leading role within the gang emerges from reading the precautionary order signed yesterday by investigating judge Federica De Bellis.
Alfredo Graziano is Federica Troncone's partner
Alfredo Graziano is Federica Troncone's partner and has a criminal record for assault and drug dealing, having also been arrested in June 2018, together with his partner, as part of an investigation into cocaine dealing in Maratea and lower Cilento.
In addition to the victims' testimonies, he is also nailed by the images from the video surveillance cameras in the area, attached to the executed order, which show him riding the black Honda Sh scooter with which he and the clan's emissaries rode along Via Leopardi to ask for the 'pizzo'.

The situation is very complex and the street vendors cannot continue to suffer the extortion. It is important that more people like the entrepreneur report similar acts. We hope that justice will take its course and protect honest traders.
