Interior Minister Marco Minniti
said after chairing a public order committee meeting in Naples
Wednesday that "the first problem to tackle is boosting the
control of the territory, we must give a response starting in
the next few hours".
The minister said that Naples was "dramatically out of
control" regarding law and order.
He said only 52% of Naples' CCTV cameras were working, "while
they all should be".
The meeting was called after a string of shootings in the
southern Italian city, mostly in drug turf wars among the local
Camorra mafia.
Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris hailed the results of the
"very profitable" meeting, saying that Naples authorities would
soon be able to offer responses to a wave of "robberies,
ambushes, shooting up shops and the wounding of the innocent".
