Italy Police Uncover €3m Stashed In Mobster's House
Police said the seizure included weapons and 11 Rolex watches as investigators linked the hidden cash to Camorra drug trafficking.
- Italian Carabinieri officers seized €3.2 million in cash hidden inside walls of a residence in Caivano, a Naples suburb, following a tip-off from a state witness arrested in July 2025.
- The discovery follows a 2023 investigation that culminated Monday with 34 arrests of suspects linked to an armed Camorra-type conspiracy led by the Angelino clan accused of drug trafficking and weapons offences.
- Naples Prosecutor Nicola Gratteri reported the raid uncovered Kalashnikovs and 11 Rolex watches; the drug lord's wife used underage children to maintain 24-hour surveillance of the stash.
- "But it's obvious the drug dealing did not stop, it just moved into another area," Gratteri said, calling for systematic interventions across the territory to dismantle Camorra operations.
- Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ordered a crackdown on Caivano, funneling funds into rebuilding the neighborhood's derelict sports center, hiring social workers, and opening a police station.
