Naples turns on the mafia after girl shot dead during turf war

SCORES of police combed Naples yesterday for gunmen who fatally shot a girl in the head during a mob turf war, as Neapolitans angrily denounced the grip held on their city by the Camorra crime syndicate.

Giovanni Durante tearfully said he had agreed to donate the organs of his 14-year-old daughter, Annalisa, who was caught in the shooting when she was standing outside her apartment building on Sunday with some friends.

Two men on a motorcycle opened fire, apparently aiming at a rival gang’s boss in the Camorra crime world, which runs extortion rackets, illegal gambling, drug and arms trafficking in the Naples area. The alleged target ran away.
