Italian police arrest 24 suspected mafiosi over Naples parking protection racket
Briefly

Italian law enforcement arrested 24 suspected members of the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, on charges including drug trafficking and operating an illegal parking attendant scheme. This scheme forced drivers to pay extra fees for vehicle safety and is linked to the Troncone and Frizziero clans' broader criminal activities. Approximately 2,400 illegal attendants operate in Naples, generating over 100 million euros annually, with many required to pay protection money. Political figures assert legal reform is necessary to combat these practices and protect citizens from threats and violence associated with the illegal scheme.
