Three companies, three cars, six bank accounts owned by official
(ANSA)
- Naples, April 7 - Italian police on Monday seized assets worth some
13 million euros linked to the notorious Casalesi clan of the
Neapolitan Camorra mafia.
The
assets are formally owned by the former head of the municipal
engineering and zoning office in the Casalesis' home town of Casale
di Principe, police said. The assets including three companies, three
cars and six bank accounts were under the name of Nicola Di Caterino,
one of 57 people arrested on suspicion of mafia conspiracy, tender
rigging and other offences linked to the construction of a huge
shopping mall outside the town, 25 kilometres northwest of Naples.
The
Casalesis' criminal empire was exposed in writer and journalist
Roberto Saviano's 2006 book Gomorrah: Italy's Other Mafia, later made
into a prizewinning film. Saviano is under round-the-clock police
protection after death threats from jailed Casalesi bosses including
Francesco 'Sandokan' Schiavone.
