The focus is on healthcare and football, but the feet are firmly planted in old, established businesses. The double investigation that hit the Stabia Camorra this week returns the image of a clan, the one founded by the late boss Michele D’Alessandro, tentacular and increasingly capable of infiltrating the funeral and patient transport sector. An objective achieved mainly thanks to transversal connections within the San Leonardo hospital. Also in the crosshairs is the ‘shadow’ management of Juve Stabia, which ended up under controlled administration precisely because of its ‘contacts’ with the Scanzano clan.
The new investigations, however, confirmed the persistence of a trend still hard to die: drug dealing, both retail and wholesale. Anyone who slipped up or tried to sell doses ‘outside the system’ risked: ‘We have to go down ten of us with baseball bats, we’ll smash him to the ground here.’
The background emerges in the folds of the custody order that, on Tuesday, led the State Police to carry out 11 arrests, including that of the boss and heir Pasquale D’Alessandro, known as ‘Fango’. However, the DDA of Naples also focused on a presumed square leader, Massimo Mirano, framed by investigators as ‘the reference for the Cicerone district area in Castellammare di Stabia.’ The drug dealer’s business emerged in particular thanks to a trojan implanted on his smartphone. On October 11, 2024, Mirano, talking to an acquaintance, learns that a pusher with a decent supply of hashish would settle in the city, whose sale, however, was not authorized by the upper echelons of the clan: ‘Tell him, “you can’t sell it!” I take it and “fire him immediately”.’ The dialogue continues in the presence of other unidentified accomplices, and Mirano expresses, the investigators write in the precautionary measure, ‘his disapproval towards a subject who was earning well by dealing “on call,” that is, with delivery upon telephone request, near the sports field.’ The square leader becomes furious and threatens to take action: ‘We have to go down ten of us with baseball bats, we have to smash him to the ground here.’
The stakes would have been very high, after all. A circumstance that, two days later, emerges from another interception, always against the square leader of the Cicerone district. Mirano discusses with a certain Alfonso, to whom he reports waiting for his supplier to deliver drugs to try, and then resell it with the so-called ‘handover’: ‘If we take “the quality”… the price changes, it’s normal. Tomorrow morning this one comes, and I get the “sample” first.’ The same Mirano, according to what emerged, would have been a wholesale supplier in turn. With a price list: 5,000 euros for a kilo of high-quality marijuana. The buyer, ‘Tonino,’ however, tries to make a counterproposal: ‘Massimino if we do the speech at 250 grams (at a time)… you tell me “take it, then when it will be you give me the money” and I put it on the ground.’
On the point, the investigators have no doubts. The drug dealer’s activity, which was also contested for participation in the clan, would have been aggravated by the mafia purpose not only ‘because without the clan’s approval, he could never have carried out that activity in the D’Alessandro clan’s territory,’ but also because ‘he uses the plural, referring to imposed prices. Furthermore, the agreed quantities are such that it cannot be conceived that that activity is carried out independently.’
