I have questions for those who are more knowledgeable than I about the Camorra. It seems like the Camorra is less structured than it's Sicilian and Calabrian counterparts. Anybody here have a good grasp on it's structure? Also their clans seem more fluid in the sense they seem to disappear after a powerful boss dies or is Imprisoned. Is this the case?
I'm pretty sure there is no set structure. The Camorra of today is not comparable to Cosa Nostra or Ndrangheta organizationally. Camorra groups are essentially gangs that come and go. The Viterbo trial of 1910 wiped them out as a criminal fraternity, prior to this their structure was very similar to the Ndrangheta. In fact the Ndrangheta structure is based on that of the early Camorra.
it is not the same fot all groups anyway, casalesi, nuvoletta, gionta and others for example are structured because they are part of cosa nostra, others have not any ranks or rituals, they are more similar to street gangs than mafia... you're right abaout all the rest, the old camorra structure was defeated after the cuocolo trial in 1909, and it's strange since camorra is as old as sicilian mafia, the first documents about is existence are from the ending of 1820s
