They chose the location, set up the printing press, printed the fake banknotes, dismantled everything, and then began the sale: they had established a sort of traveling printing shop, the gang of counterfeiters having been defeated by the carabinieri and the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, which notified the Anti-Mafia of 63 precautionary measures. According to police, the gang conducted a business that generated approximately 6 million euros in illicit earnings during the investigation period, some of which was paid in the form of payments to the Camorra. If each banknote sold is priced at 10 euros, the gang would have circulated approximately 60 million counterfeit euros.
