Naples, blitz against the Moccia clan: 36 arrests in prison and 16 under house arrest. RFI contracts and waste are in the sights
Blow to the Moccia clan of Afragola (Naples). Who, in order to reinvest massive capital, the fruit of his illicit activities, had stretched his tentacles on disposal of used oils, slaughterhouse waste and also on large railway and high-speed contracts. To support it are the carabinieri del Ros and the financiers of the Gico della Guardia di Finanza of Naples who, coordinated by the Neapolitan Public Prosecutor’s Office, at dawn today notified a total of 59 precautionary measures and seized assets for 150 million euros, between Ferrari and boats , real estate and company quotations. The disputed crimes – all in aggravated form as they are committed to facilitate the clan – range from mafia association to extortion, from corruption to aiding and abetting.
Among the recipients of the precautionary measures the brothers Antonio, Angelo and Luigi Moccia (the latter moved to Rome for some time) and their brother-in-law, Filippo Iazzetta. Among those who ended up under house arrest are also included Andrea GuidoLecce city councilor, investigated for corruption in relation to events dating back to 2017 when he was councilor for the environment, and the Bari Pasquale Finocchio (also for him the investigating judge of Naples has ordered house arrest) for events dating back to 2017, when he was vice president of the city council of Bari. feet in Puglia with the Sacra Corona Unita. It is in this context that the involvement of the two politicians would take place that the trafficking of which he influences is contested. Thanks to an entrepreneur already active in Campania, Piedmont, Lazio and Veneto, who managed to enter the Apulian market with the acquisition of a company based in Bari (in the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Lecce), the clan would also have reached numerous agreements with municipal administrations, for the collection of that waste.
For RFI contracts, the Moccia family made use – according to the Prosecutor’s Office – of a group of entrepreneurs, believed to be linked to the clan, whose companies possessed regular titles and anti-mafia certifications. In this context, two officials of the territorial unit of East Naples – Salvatore Maisto and Stefano Deodato – ended up under house arrest on charges of corruption. They would have pocketed 29 thousand euros. Among the high-speed contracts that ended up in the hands of companies linked to the Camorra, there would also be that for the maintenance in the Afragola station.
Finally, the offense of aiding and abetting is also charged to a technician employed by a company that supplies tools suitable for wiretapping to various Judicial Police and Judicial Authorities, who has lent himself to clearing the offices of entrepreneurs from bugs. The investigations also revealed that the clan had been engaged for some time in a campaign of delegitimization made up of denunciations and complaints against collaborators of justice, exponents of the police and judicial authorities.
