ROME—Anti-mafia police say they have broken up an unusual alliance of Italy's three main crime syndicates controlling wholesale produce markets, including price fixing.
Police said they were arresting dozens of suspects Monday, including a suspected mobster who had just disembarked at Naples' port from a honeymoon cruise.

Gen. Antonio Girone of Italy's anti-Mafia DIA squad says the Sicilian Mafia, the Calabrian 'ndrangheta crime syndicate and the Naples-area Camorra syndicate dropped traditional rivalries to join forces in running fruit and vegetable wholesale markets in central and southern Italy.

Authorities said the mobsters fixed high prices, at the expense of consumers, and decided which trucking companies transported the produce, and illegal weapons.

Italy: Anti-mafia police target joint Sicilian- Neapolitan mafia 'enterprise'


Milano, 10 May (AKI) - Police on Monday arrested 60 suspects from the Naples and Sicilian mafia who were allegedly involved in a joint criminal enterprise that targeted southern Italy's lucrative fruit and vegetable industry.

Police in the southern Italian Campania region arrested around 20 suspects believed to belong to the Neapolitan mafia's powerful Casalesi clan and approximately a dozen people from its rival Licciardi and Mallardo clans, as well as six suspects from the Santapaola clan.

The bosses of the alleged joint mafia undertaking forced growers to use a single haulage firm to transport their produce. The firm operated out of the port of Herculaneum near Naples but was owned by mafia suspects in the southern Italian port city of Herculaneum, according to investigators.

The same firm was transporting to Sicily all the fruit and vegetables sold at one of Europe's largest markets, in the town of Fondi in Italy's central Lazio region, surrounding Rome, investigators said.
