An investigation by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office has led to the execution of precautionary measures against 45 people, variously accused of aiding and abetting illegal immigration, mafia extortion, forgery and fraud. The suspects include lawyers, CAF owners and members of the Fabbrocino clan, which operates mainly in San Giuseppe Vesuviano and Ottaviano. According to investigators, three criminal syndicates were active, profiting from the desperation of non-EU citizens by exploiting the “Click Day” mechanisms for the flows decrees. Thousands of fictitious applications for work clearances were submitted through the fraudulent use of SPIDs in the names of others, including members of law enforcement agencies. Workers were paying up to 9,000 euros to obtain false employment and forged documentation, generating a multimillion-dollar business. More than 20 people ended up under house arrest, 11 employers were placed under signature orders, and assets worth about 2 million euros were seized.
