Italian police have arrested a man over the killing of six African immigrants near Naples last week. Investigators say they believe the killings, which sparked a riot by local immigrants, were the work of the local mafia, known as the Camorra. They believe the arrested man was part of a gang that allegedly fired on the immigrants. His family say he had nothing to do with the attack. Police are still looking for two other people in connection with the killings.

The camorra group presumed responsible for the murder spree are linked to the Bidognetti clan recently disseminated by arrests, heavy prison sentences and supergrassos. It is rumoured that the head of the clan had become a state witness thus provoking not only a war of succession but a policy of burnt earth around anyone who goes state witness through the massacre of their family members.
The political referents of the Bidognetti clan have recently been outed in a series (second article) of scoops by l'Espresso weekly. According to the scoops prominent Campania political figures in Berlusconi's entourage had key roles in the garbage racket for nearly two decades. They are the same individuals who "cleaned" up Naples.
