Nothing. Modernity has taken its toll even on organised crime in southern Italy, while most journalists and wannabe writers specialised in narrating overexagerated chronicles of the Mafia still try to stay relevant narrating the chronicles of a giant omniscient octopus that it never was. Di Lauro died in prison. Most of his men died or got life in prison. Even more turned snitches because, again, there's no such thing as a code in those organisations, even if the most widespread narrations want you to believe so. Today Scampia is the backdrop to Instagram reels shot by countless baby influencers who go to visit the remains of the Vele, where their favourite temporary rappers shoot their videos.

  This or that leader or organization might have their rise and fall, but organized crime is stronger than ever, and spreading into ever more "legit" facades too.

  Man, so true. The easiest way to verify this is to walk into the container terminal at Gioia Tauro and start opening boxes.

I am from the center of Naples, not Scampia, so don't know what happened there, but few weeks ago behind my house some camorra guys shot 90 bullets to try to kill someone, and missed him, and instead hit a passerby in the ass. New generation criminals are always drunk and high. Between when this article was written and today, around 2018, there was a huge war in my Neighbor because some guys who commanded it in the past got out of jail, and wanted the neighbor back, but then police arrested a bunch of people and the situation is now calm, until a bunch of people will finish their jail term, and try to catch power back, it's a cycle with 10-15 years times
