Raffaele Imperiale has been arrested in Dubai. He was the 6th most wanted man in Italy, a Camorra boss as the media likes to calls him, i have no idea as to his actual position.

Funny thing is, he used to own a coffeeshop right here in Amsterdam in the 90’s

He moved to Amsterdam when he was around 20 , he is very close to top of Amsterdam drug scene , Ricardo Riquelme Vega and Ridouan Taghi.He supplied Di Lauro's with drugs for a long time.

I know he’s close to that mocro asshole Taghi, it’s all over the papers over here. They even say Taghi’s son married Imperiale’s daughter. Taghi is a dog who should be killed like a dog, but our pussy justice system is going to give him life, with parole after 30 years.

I did not know Imperiale supplied the Di Lauro’s, thanks for the info. What clan does Imperiale belong to in Napoli?

I don't know if he is actually a member of any clan, he started his criminal career in Amsterdam,after he inherited coffee shop from his older brother. He supplied Amato-Pagano too. His father was high ranking member of D'Alessandro clan , huge in construction and also owned a football club.

A little bit out of topic , but i still don't understand how Taghi and his people managed to become so powerful and feel so untouchable to do things they do/did in last years.

[Chopper]

We can’t really discuss Taghi in this topic, since he is only an associate of Imperiale lol.

He did testify to being tortured in Dubai after his arrest, and that he couldn’t sit because they jammed something up his ass. And then I laughed and laughed and laughed

[scagghiuni]

imperiale was a broker with links with all the most important drug dealers, included taghi and kinahan and of course serveral italian ones

I haven't seen this posted yet so apparently this is the only known voice recording of Matteo Messina Denaro. It was recently released last month after it was recovered from archives in the court of Marsala. The date for the recording is March 18, 1993, just months before MMD became a fugitive.

Also, they make the point. Its integrating that drug money into the legitimate economy that separates the mafia from other organizations. Without that, it's a typical drug organization. The mafia uses drugs as a liquidity tool. A drug gang has it at the core of its identity.

And my final point.... they went from typical small rural type crimes to kidnapping. It like half of them, Took the kidnapping money, applied it to their territorial control, and invested it in the Colombo package. Bought construction equipment and companies, took advantage of state contracts. The other half invested in cocaine, and integrated the money in the legit economy.
