Italian anti-Mafia prosecutors and
police have saved a man who was condemned to death by the Naples
Mob for breaking its strict rules on extramarital sex.
The man got his death sentence from the cupola of the Camorra's
Abbinante clan in Scampia because he was in a relationship with
the wife of a jailed mobster, judicial sources said Monday.
Police arrested those who ordered the hit and those who were
gearing to carry it out after the victim's grave had already
been dug, the sources said.
The arrestees were boss Antonio Abbinante, his nephew Raffaele,
and three 'soldiers': Antonio Esposito, Salvatore Morriale and
Paolo Ciprio.
The intended victim was said to be "contiguous" to the Camorra
organization.
The Camorra members planned to lure the man to the countryside
between Marano and Arzano, near Naples, on the pretext of
"working something out," police said.
Once he was there they would have shot him dead and buried him
in the grave that had already been prepared, they said.
