Naples – They laundered the proceeds from drug dealing and smuggling to purchase boats for rental, using fictitious names and the complicity of a company operating in Nisida.
This is what emerged from the investigations conducted by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Nucleus of Naples who, after three years of investigations, dismantled a well-established system attributable to the Troncone clan of Fuorigrotta, in synergy with the Frizziero group, active in the “Torretta” area of Chiaia.
The operation, coordinated by the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate, led to the issuing of numerous precautionary custody orders by the investigating judge of Naples, striking at the economic heart of the two Camorra associations.
According to the investigators' reconstruction, the boats were purchased with illicit money, then registered in the name of a front man and put into operation through a formally regular company, but actually used for money laundering. Several nautical units were seized, while the owner of the company and her husband - a prison police officer - were hit by a prohibition order from exercising their business activity. According to the investigators, the man would have played an intermediary role in the key stages of the operation.
A new line of investigation that confirms once again the entrepreneurial vocation of the clans, increasingly attentive to reinvesting the capital generated by illicit activities in the "clean" market.

The article talks about a very complex and serious topic, regarding money laundering. It is important that the authorities do their job to stop these criminal groups that exploit the law for their own interests. We must be careful.
It is a very worrying situation that emerges from this investigation, it seems that the clans never stop and always find ways to launder money. We hope that the authorities do their duty and stop these acts.
I agree with you, Patrizia. It's incredible how they manage to do it without being discovered for so long. We should increase controls on these activities to prevent other similar crimes.
The article clearly explains how the clans use dirty money to buy boats. But I don't really understand how they do it without being discovered. It's a complicated system that requires a lot of attention.
It is interesting to know that there are companies that collaborate with the clans without anyone noticing. I hope that the police continue to investigate and stop these illegal activities.
