Forty Naples mafia suspects arrested in turf war probe

Police on Thursday arrested 40 Naples mafia suspects as part of a probe into turf wars between rival clans in the north of the city, seizing assets worth four million euros from some of the suspects.

The suspects face charges of mafia association, drug trafficking, possessing and carrying illegal weapons and attempted murder, police said.

Investigators said they had been able to piece together the organisation of the drugs racket in north Naples and the neighbouring towns of Melito and Mugnano.

The arrests were ordered by Naples anti-mafia prosecutors.

The Camorra is one of Italy's oldest and most brutal mafias, earning much of its cash from drugs and arms trafficking and prostitution.

Its features in author Roberto Saviano's best-selling novel 'Gomorrah' and the successful film of the same name.
