Naples – A blow to the new and old Camorra in the Foreclla and historic center of Naples: since early today, the State Police have been executing the precautionary custody order issued by the GIP of the Court of Naples, at the request of the local Anti-Mafia District Directorate, against 25 people.
All those arrested and under investigation are charged, to varying degrees, with the crimes of mafia-style criminal association, drug trafficking, drug dealing, receiving stolen goods, possession of illegal weapons, and the illegal possession and carrying of firearms.
Three clans involved, with ties to 'Ndrangheta gangs: 40 people under investigation.
The operation, coordinated by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, headed by Nicola Gratteri, shed light on international drug trafficking along the Naples-Reggio Calabria route. A total of 40 people are under investigation.
Three clans were involved in the raid: the first two were dedicated to importing large shipments of cocaine from Colombia and Ecuador, hidden inside containers packed on commercial ships, and a third specialized in the cultivation of Indian hemp plants and the wholesale and retail marketing of the resulting marijuana.
In Naples, the suspects will also be charged with receiving stolen goods, possession of illegal weapons, and the illegal possession and carrying of firearms.

Massive raid against child gangs: 539 arrests and nearly 1,000 violent social media profiles.
The Italian State Police has concluded a large-scale operation to combat youth crime, involving 44 Italian provinces, including Naples.
The article talks about a very important police operation, but I don't understand how it could have gotten this far. The Camorra seems to be gaining more and more power, and the justice system seems unstoppable. Let's hope this operation is truly effective.
