Italian police on Tuesday arrested 29
people as they busted two narco gangs affiliated with the
Neapolitan Camorra mafia that imported huge amounts of cocaine
from South America to Italy via the Netherlands and Spain, also
by submarine from Panama.
Among those arrested, in Dubai, was Bruno Carbone, a close aide
of notorious Camorra narco trafficker Raffaele Imperiale, who
was also captured in Dubai in 2021.
Carbone, like Imperiale, has already decided to turn state's
evidence and become a pentito or informant.
One of the gang members, an Albanian, was intercepted saying
"containers are very safe but the only 100% sure way of getting
the stuff in is by submarine".
The two gangs also used ambulances for ferying their product
around the Naples area.
The cocaine was distributed in the Naples area including
Caivano, a Camorra-ridden town now the subject of a high-profile
government-led clean-up after it claimed headlines for the
alleged teen gang rape of two cousins aged 10 and 12.
The Naples Mob often uses kids as drug runners or lookouts.
