Mafia involved in hotel business, say police
Sixteen judges are among those arrested in Italy on suspicion of accepting bribes from a Naples-based crime syndicate that is believed to be active in hotel management, real estate and the food industry.
Police allege that the judges accepted bribes to rule in favour of the Camorra crime syndicate in financial cases.
They are among 47 people who have been arrested, 22 of whom have been jailed and 25 are under house arrest. A further 13 have been banned from living in Naples.
According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the Neapolitan Fabroccino clan is responsible for more than 3,000 deaths over the last three decades, operating as a pseudo-government that controls illicit drugs, business, politics and the waste disposal industry.
