“Clan Belforte: Ascesa, Guerre di Camorra e il Potere Criminale di Marcianise”

The text provides a detailed overview of the Belforte clan, also known as the Mazzacane, one of the most powerful and long-standing Camorra organizations in the Caserta area. It describes its origins in the 1970s, its affiliation with Raffaele Cutolo's Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO), and its conflicts with the Nuova Famiglia in the 1980s. After the defeat of the Cutolo clan, the clan consolidated control over Marcianise and surrounding areas, forging alliances with the Casalesi clan and waging a bloody war with the Piccolo clan, which resulted in over one hundred deaths. The document delves into the clan's structure, listing its main bosses and affiliates, including Domenico and Salvatore Belforte, its founders, and their family members involved in illegal activities. The clan's relationships with other criminal factions, such as the Capone clan, active in Caserta, and the Marciano clan, who ran a vast slot machine and video poker ring in Maddaloni, are analyzed. Furthermore, it mentions an agreement with the Piccolo clan to share the coffee distribution business. The text also highlights the state's opposition, with numerous arrests, asset seizures, and police operations against the clan, including confiscations amounting to millions and the arrest of prominent figures. Finally, a 2018 DIA analysis confirms the Belforte clan's leading role in the Campania criminal landscape, with a strong presence in drug trafficking and extortion. #camorra #mafia #gomorra #perte #myway #criminal #camorra #cosanostra #marcianise #boss #gangster
