A former migrant traffickers'
boat is to be used by Naples youths convicted of Camorra mafia
association, drug pushing and robberies to start rebuilding
their lives through sailing.
The Blue Marlin II, which once ferried Syrian, Kurdish and
Afghan migrants from Albania to Puglia at 5,000 euros a head, is
now docked in the port of Naples and waiting for the local
Jonathan Association to start teaching troubled youngsters how
to sail.
"When we heard it had been seized we made a request to the
police in Gallipoli, and the Taranto judges assigned it to us,"
said Silvia Ricciardi of Jonathan.
