$1 billion in property seized from Mafia clan - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
$1 billion in property seized from Mafia clan - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "Italian police have seized property including apartments and farms worth an estimated $1 billion from a powerful clan of the Camorra crime syndicate based in Naples.
Around 200 police officers swooped on property owned by the heirs of Dante Passarelli, a suspected Camorra chief.
Mr Passarelli fell to his death in mysterious circumstances while he was facing charges in a major anti-Mafia case in 2004.
Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi launched a series of initiatives in January to tackle the Mafia, including a national agency to manage confiscated property.
A law passed by the Berlusconi government in 2008 allows seizures from the relatives of Mafia members."
