The Camorra, an Italian mafia organization, has been a force to be reckoned with for centuries. But as the world evolves, so too does the Camorra's approach to criminality. In Naples, a new generation of child criminal gangs has emerged, with young boys as young as 10 years old being recruited into the Camorra's ranks. This trend is a worrying development, as it signifies a growing acceptance of criminality among Naples' youth.

Moreover, the rise of social media has given rise to a new phenomenon known as stunting, in which individuals flaunt their wealth and status online. This trend has taken root in the Camorra, with members posting images and videos of themselves brandishing weapons and engaging in other criminal activities. This shift towards a more public and ostentatious display of criminality is a marked departure from the Camorra's long-standing code of omertà, or silence, which emphasizes discretion and secrecy.

As the Camorra adapts to these changing circumstances, law enforcement agencies are struggling to keep pace. The organization's complex web of alliances and connections makes it difficult to target individual members, and the use of child criminals presents a unique set of challenges. However, some experts argue that the Camorra's new tactics may also be its downfall, as the increased visibility and exposure that comes with social media stunting also increases the risk of detection and prosecution.

In this podcast, we delve deep into the changing face of the Camorra, exploring the new challenges and opportunities that arise as the organization evolves. From the exploitation of child criminals to the use of social media as a tool of criminality, we examine the new frontiers of organized crime in Naples and beyond. Join us as we explore the dark underbelly of the Camorra and uncover the secrets of one of the world's oldest criminal institutions.
