A Sunday of football, but also of tight controls throughout the city. On the occasion of the Napoli-Genoa match, the Local Police deployed a real army to ensure order and legality in a hot area like the one around the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Sixty-seven officers were deployed in a vast operation that also involved several areas of the center and nightlife, with a clear objective: urban safety, fluid traffic and compliance with regulations.
Within the Maradona area , the hunt for illegal parking attendants has resulted in nine fines, five reports for repeat offenders, and the seizure of illicit proceeds. But the heaviest toll has been related to traffic: 75 vehicles were towed, including 12 motorcycles, while traffic violations have poured in, from lack of insurance to illegal parking at bus stops and disabled parking spaces.
Targeted checks also took place in the Bosco di Capodimonte area, where the Stella Unit issued 24 fines and ordered 12 removals. The San Lorenzo Unit, on the other hand, focused its attention on the nightlife of the Fourth Municipality: in via Costantinopoli a venue was hit for lack of an acoustic permit, while in vico Polveriera a closure order was issued.
The crackdown also affected public establishments: in via Chiaia, via Ricciardi and corso Vittorio Emanuele, abuses of public land, unauthorized signs and lack of documentation for noise impact were ascertained. In via Ricciardi, the lack of surveillance requirements also emerged.
Finally, the irregular trade front: 80 bottles of beer and cans seized from unknown sellers, in addition to four cases of illegal sale of drinks without the necessary Scia. A blanket check that transformed a day of sports into a show of strength of the State in the heart of Naples.
The situation today has been very complicated, with many checks and fines. Illegal parking attendants are a problem, but traffic is also important. We hope that these measures will lead to a lasting improvement for the city.
I don't know if all these fines are necessary, but I understand that safety is important. Maybe they could find a more gentle way to enforce the rules without creating confusion among people.
