Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Naples, May 17 - The Neapolitan Camorra crime syndicate has reportedly threatened Naples anti-mafia prosecutor Alessandro D'Alessio, according to a wiretap dating back to March and released on Tuesday.
    In the wiretap, two members of the family of Augusto La Torre, a detained Camorra boss from Mondragone, near Caserta, say they want to kill the magistrate.
    The conversation, which is part of a probe carried out by Rome prosecutors, reportedly took place in a maximum-security jail in Piedmont between a woman who belongs to the clan and a nephew.
    Investigators believe that members of the powerful Camorra Casalese clan want to reorganize the group originally headed by La Torre, who graduated in psychology in prison and has in the past issued threats against Raffaele Cantone, the head of anti-corruption authority ANAC.
    Anti-mafia prosecutor Cesare Sirignano, responsible for investigations into the Casalesi clan, has also received threats, according to reports this week.
    The reports follow the discovery in the southern Puglia region of TNT to be allegedly used in an attack against another Naples prosecutor, Giovanni Colangelo.
