The Camorra’s gunmen fatally shot an engineer in Naples for uncovering their construction racket.
Salvatore Coppola, 66, was gunned down in a Deco store parking lot near an Apple Headquarters in San Giovanni a Teduccio.
With ties to the Mazzarella clan, he had once been involved in white-collar crime before turning informant.
Despite living under protection, Coppola returned and collaborated with authorities, exposing the Camorra’s economic exploitation in Naples’ construction sector.
His revelations led to his murder, highlighting the mafia’s grip on the region’s economy.
Civil servants and experts aided Coppola in his efforts, which ultimately cost him his life.
The Carabinieri is now investigating the assassination, shedding light on the ruthless tactics of one of Italy’s oldest and largest criminal organizations, the Camorra.
