The precautionary measure summarizes the results of an investigation conducted between 2021 and 2022, which documented the operations of a criminal association which, on behalf of the Amato/Pagano Camorra clan, also known as the Splinter clan, managed the entire chain of trafficking and retail dealing of various types of narcotics in the area known as the "Sette Palazzi", between via Tancredi Galimberti and via Antonio Labriola, in the Scampia district.
The organization took care of every aspect of the illicit activity, from the supply of the narcotic to the retail marketing, which was managed by the street leaders, organizing the distribution by type and by work shifts.
