Italian police on Wednesday
executed 100 arrest warrants across Italy in connection with the
activities of three Naples-based Camorra mafia clans.
Members of the Contini, Mallardo and Licciardi clans were hit
by what police called an "imposing" operation.
The so-called Secondigliano Alliance between the clans was
hit, police said.
A "huge" amount of assets was seized too, police said.
Police said the "social office" of the organisation was in
Naples' San Giovanni Bosco Hospital, where the gang controlled
everything from job hirings to building contracts to trade union
relations.
"The hospital had become the logistical base for criminal
plots, such as insurance fraud using fake medical certificates,"
said Naples Chief Prosecutor Giovanni Melillo.
