Naples – In a move reminiscent of a preemptive war against the shadow of the Camorra, Naples Prefect Michele di Bari has signed three anti-mafia bans against as many companies based in the Neapolitan capital.
This is not an isolated operation, but a surgical strike to stem the risk of criminal infiltration into vital sectors of the local economy: the food trade and the retail sale of automobiles and motor vehicles.
The announcement, made yesterday by the Prefecture, brings the total number of precautionary measures adopted in the Naples area this year to 104, a leap that demonstrates the acceleration in the fight against "economic pollution" orchestrated by the mafia.

The three companies targeted—whose names have not been made public for investigative reasons—operate precisely in these sensitive areas. The ban, a provision of the Anti-Mafia Code that effectively suspends company activity and blocks relations with public administration, was issued after a careful analysis by law enforcement and the Police Headquarters' Anti-Crime Division.
The reason? Concrete evidence of "influence" by organized groups, such as links with criminals, suspicious financial flows, or shady acquaintances, even if the details remain shrouded in secrecy.
"The Prefecture continues its work to combat the pollution of a healthy economy by businesses exploited or influenced by organized crime," reads an official statement from the Government Palace, which emphasizes how these actions protect not only economic public order, but also free competition and the proper functioning of the public administration.
