Italian police on Tuesday
arrested 44 members of the Russo family in the powerful Casalesi
clan of the Neapolitan Camorra mafia.
Police said those arrested were suspected of involvement in
a slot machine and video poker racket.
Five companies were impounded and various souped-up slot
machines and video poker machines seized.
The Casalesis are the clan whose threats against Roberto
Saviano have forced the Gomorrah writer into round-the-clock
police protection.
