It is just one of the many active items in the life of the entrepreneur boss. We are talking about the Rolex trade and precious watches, goods placed halfway around the worldwhich represented a powerful economic spin-off for one of the alleged emerging figures of the Neapolitan Camorra.
It is the belief that drove the Naples Prosecutor’s Office to close the investigation against four individuals believed to be at the top of the Neapolitan Camorra. Rolex and the Camorra. Dirty money and money laundering, the spotlight is on Luke Espositoborn in 1980, son-in-law of Patrizio Bosti, himself boss of the Secondigliano Alliance dome.
INSIGHTS
Two months ago the blitz that allowed the police to seize assets worth five million euros, inside an apartment in Agnano. A decisive blitz to explore the new economic frontier of a piece of organized crime, according to the Naples Prosecutor’s Office, which closed the investigations against four alleged members of the Alleanza di Secondigliano.
The turning point
Investigation conducted by the prosecutors Alessandra Converso and Daniela Varoneunder the coordination of the head of the Naples Public Prosecutor’s Office Nicholas Gratteritowards the process, beyond Luke EspositoAlso Flora and Ettore Bosti (Both sons of the boss Patrick Bosti) and the same head of the Secondigliano cartel Patrick Bosti (born 1958). An investigation that just two months ago culminated in dozens of arrests, net of the millionaire seizure, thanks to the decryption of the chats contained in the cell phone of the alleged Camorra entrepreneur. Also worthy of note, according to the investigators, is the content of the interceptions obtained thanks to a bug placed inside the Audi used by the son-in-law of the boss.
A broad investigative trajectory, which aims to shed light on the contacts between Esposito and businessmen, including those linked to the world of football and fashion. Reading the information in the files, a chat between Esposito and an entrepreneur at the head of a well-known Neapolitan brand stands out, who asks the boss’ son-in-law for help. He is struggling with usurious debts, does not know how to get out of the grip of the tie-wearers and asks for Esposito’s intervention. Checks are underway, to understand who are the individuals – presumably linked to the Secondigliano Alliance – who have managers linked to the world of fashion among their clients.
Betting
But let’s go back to the plot of relationships of Esposito. The documents include a dinner with representatives of the world of football, including managers, special agents and businessmen. All at dinner in a well-known restaurant in Chiaia, the aim is to buy a Serie C football team, a decisive frontier also for the frontier of betting. At the table, Esposito’s voice can be heard saying: «We gamble 27/28 bills to recover…», he says probably referring to the recovery of the initial investment, generating the suggestion of a chapter on football betting that needs to be explored in depth. Or rather.
The arrests that took place in Fiumicino interrupt the web of relationships and potential business of the 40-year-old manager. A story that brings attention back to the final period of the second phase of the covid emergency. Esposito is ready to expatriate, together with his wife Maria Bosti, he is about to board a flight to Dubai. In his pocket he has a fake green pass, thanks to two doctor friends, who in turn were rewarded with bribes. An investigative thread that culminated in trials and convictions against – among others – one of the doctors involved, while we can expect the opening of a new trial against the three Bostis and Esposito himself.
We start from the record seizure of watches in Agnano, the result of a trade conducted with partners in Dubai (a city in which the manager boasted relations with sultans) and clients in China and Russia, to delve into the business dealings linked to the manager in prison. Defended, among others, by criminal lawyers Annamaria Ziccardi, Nicola Pomponio, Domenico Dello Iacono, Andrea Imparato, Raffaele Chiummariello, Mauro and Elisabetta Valentinothe four defendants will be able to respond to the charges during the proceedings.
