The presence of the Camorra on Lake Garda has sparked a lot of controversy in recent days. In particular, actress Marisa Laurito claimed on a television show that the real Camorra is located in Desenzano del Garda. These words have ignited a heated debate and raised several questions about the veracity of such statements.
Nando Dalla Chiesa, a politician, sociologist, and consultant for the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, spoke on Radio Capital to comment on this issue. According to Dalla Chiesa, the mafia exists in the North and is also present in Desenzano del Garda. In support of this claim, the sociologist cites reports from both the anti-mafia commission and the region that document the presence of criminal organizations in the area.
Dalla Chiesa criticizes the attitude of those who refuse to report these situations for fear of damaging the image of the place. According to him, this fear is unfounded and should not prevent the fight against organized crime. The politician warns those who are considering suing Marisa Laurito for defamation that they would lose the case because the evidence of the existence of the mafia on Lake Garda is concrete and documented.
It is important to emphasize that Dalla Chiesa’s words only confirm what has already emerged from several official reports on the mafia phenomenon in Northern Italy. The presence of the Camorra on Lake Garda is not news, but it seems that the issue has been ignored or downplayed over the years.
