The police arrested 68 people believed to be members of the Naples Mafia on Tuesday in one of the largest crackdowns on organized crime in recent years. Judges had issued 109 arrest warrants for murder, drug trafficking, money laundering and other charges, the police said.
The warrants were directed mainly at the Amato-Pagano family, part of a breakaway clan fighting a family led by Paolo Di Lauro. The police have blamed the war between the factions for dozens of deaths in recent years. The head of the Amato-Pagano family, Raffaelle Amato, 44, was arrested in Marbella, Spain, on Sunday.
