Five members of the Neapolitan
Camorra mafia were found guilty of money laundering in running
several restaurants in Rome on Monday.
The Mobsters ran a number of fairly well-known eateries in the
centre of the Italian capital, a court found.
The judges imposed nine years imprisonment on boss Angelo
Moccia, who, according to investigators, headed the criminal
structure.
The charges against the defendants ranged from extortion to
fictitious registration of assets, with the aggravating
circumstance of using mafia methods.
In addition to the boss, the magistrates ordered four other
sentences ranging from eight years to one year and four months.
One of the defendants was acquitted.
The trial stemmed from a probe in which several central Roman
restaurants were impounded in September 2020 and 13 people were
arrested, including Moccia.
