Re: Mafia don dies in prison
Do Camorra clans operate like cartels?
Re: Mafia don dies in prison
Yes and no.
The cartels (Colombian or Mexican) mainly do two things. Smuggle drugs one way and smuggle cash back home (and then launder it). Sure, some cartels have branched out into other criminal activity but nothing that approaches their income from narcotics.
The metro Camorra clans are not unlike American gangs, i.e. medium to small groups controlling certain districts or neighborhoods. They are mainly into local drug trafficking but also counterfeiting goods, etc. The provincial clans (the Casalesi being the most famous) are more sophisticated and diversified, operating more like Cosa Nostra or Ndrangheta clans. They're all into narcotics (like the cartels) but are more diversified, i.e. extortion, public contracts, illegal waste dumping, gambling, etc.

The Italian OC groups have all traditionally had initiation rituals pertaining to formal membership but, while there are certain similarities, they're not exactly the same.Shellackhead wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:30 pmMm okay I understand, so do they have the same rituals as LCN? Like getting made?

Re: Mafia don dies in prison
The small clans are like street gangs while the biggest like the DiLauros are more like a cartel.For the initiation rites, nothing like those of the mafia, except when to prove your courage the Camorrista put on a bulletproof vest and then shot him several times.

One hundred cigarettes a day, he howled and no longer washed: thus Cosimo Di Lauro died.
He raved about, refused meetings and personal hygiene, smoked up to 5 packs of cigarettes a day: the conditions of the last period of life of Cosimo Di Lauro, the boss of Secondigliano, began to leak.
The psychological and physical situation of Cosimo Di Lauro, the boss of Secondigliano, Naples, who died in prison in Milan at the age of 49 was dramatic, according to what begins to leak out of the last days of the man's life, detained under the 41bis regime since 2005 The man who died - we still don't know anything else - on the night of Monday 13 June, was light-years away from the boss in a leather jacket and long hair immortalized the night of his arrest.
Cosimo Di Lauro raved by day, howled at night, he had become a pathological cigarette smoker: up to 5 packs a day, 100 cigarettes, teeth as black as coal and refusal of personal hygiene. A devastating situation for an inmate in tough prison whose lawyers had been asking for a psychiatric report for years.
Il figlio di Paolo Di Lauro – secondo le pochissime notizie trapelate dal carcere milanese – sarebbe stato trovato esanime, supino sul letto della sua cella, dove trascorreva gran parte della giornata, senza alcun segno di violenza riconducibile al suicidio riscontrato, anche se ieri dopo la notizia della sua morte, è serpeggiata anche l'ipotesi che si fosse tolto la vita.
The lawyer Saverio Senese as early as 2008 claimed that Cosimo was unable to actively participate in the trials; the investigators were convinced that it was a simulation. The last visit of the lawyers dates back to June 2019: the lawyers went to the Opera prison to meet him after receiving a letter in which he had not written even a word. When the lawyers asked him the reason for the gesture, he replied ranting with a phrase such as: "Important meeting with entrepreneurs in the role of head of a parallel world."

The initiation rights of the Camorra died at the turn of the 20th century with the down fall of the Honoured Society. There is no longer a "made" or "not made: status within this group unlike Cosa Nostra or the 'Ndrangheta. They are less structured in a society manner, but rather like a business - drug peddlers, accountants, hitmen etc. It's a different ball game all together.Wiseguy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:44 pmThe Italian OC groups have all traditionally had initiation rituals pertaining to formal membership but, while there are certain similarities, they're not exactly the same.Shellackhead wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:30 pmMm okay I understand, so do they have the same rituals as LCN?

Wiseguy is right in that there are certain similarities - they all chase the same form of end goal. All of them still achieve political power, maximizing profit and use violence to maintain a fearsome reputation.
There are a few clans that operate more like a Mafia family - probably the Casalesi, Nuovoletta and Mazzarrella clans, but other than that - many of the Camorra clans are constantly fighting for survival. They are created, dissolved, absorbed, merged etc. Any kid can claim to be a boss now and if he succeeds, he becomes a Camorra boss - with no formal ceremony. However, if you notice in Sicily, for example, those Mafia families are constnatly in a specific territory because the families are named off their territories (i.e. Porta Nuova, Santa Maria di Gesu, Monreale, Bagheria).

Re: Mafia don dies in prison
Does the Di Lauro clan still hold any power? I heard that today Liccciardi and Contini are the real powers in Sicondigliano.
