by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 16 May 2020Police officers of the Mobile Squad of Naples have arrested Patrizio Bosti, recognized undisputed leader of the historic Camorra group Alleanza di Secondigliano, the 'cartel' of clans (Licciardi, Mallardo and Contini) that from the neighborhood of the area North of Naples managed illegal trafficking both in the territory of Naples and in the province.

The agents of the Neapolitan Police moved on the instructions of the public prosecutor of the Republic of Naples, in execution of a prison order issued by the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Parma. Bosti must serve a residual sentence of 6 years, 8 months and 7 days in prison.  

The 62-year-old boss had been released early at the beginning of the week after 12 years spent in solitary confinement (41bis), following the decision of the Supervisory Court with a compensation of € 2,672 for the "inhuman conditions" in which he had spent the years in prison. He should have been released from prison in 2023. After leaving the Parma prison he returned to Naples, where on his return to his Amfriend neighborhood, in the eastern part of the city, he was greeted with an explosion of fireworks. 

The new prison order concerns a recalculation of the sentence by the Emilian judiciary on the basis of documents provided by the Naples Public Prosecutor. Bosti, known as' o Patrizio ", had been detained continuously since 2008, when he was arrested by the Carabinieri in Girona, Spain, after three years of hiding.

The early release came on the basis of the Gozzini law but also of the rule, introduced in 2014, which provides additional benefits for prisoners who have undergone treatment in prison that is not in line with Article 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and deemed "inhuman and degrading".

Bosti has overall served 30 years of imprisonment, for association for crime, extortion, competition in murder and other crimes, all crimes with the aggravating mafia.
