Mafia involved in hotel management, police allege

Friday, 20 Mar, 2012 0

Sixteen judges are among those arrested in Italy during a huge anti-mafia operation, according to the BBC.

Police allege that the judges accepted bribes to rule in favour of the Camorra crime syndicate in financial cases.

Authorities say that 47 people have been arrested in all, with 22 in jail, 25 under house arrest and an additional 13 people banned from living in Naples.

Police investigations have exposed the reach of the Camorra’s criminal activity in real estate, hotel management and the food industry.

According to a 2011 BBC documentary, the Neapolitan crime family 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 garbage disposal industry.
