face of international crime.
Traveling with him to some of the world's best-known cities. We'll meet
members of the criminal underworld police and local
residents to discover. What life is really like
and the world's toughest towns.
We've come to a place that is home to one of the richest and most dangerous
criminal organizations in the world.
The city that is nearly 3,000 years old. They're people
trying to stare me down.
We're the Naples Italy to uncover the dark side
of a beautiful city that is steeped in culture and
history.

home to 3 former popes and the birthplace of
Pizza Naples has a rich and vibrant past
that has seen it setty streets granted world
heritage site status.
But on
these same streets a war is Raging.
A criminal
organization called the Kimora has grown into
arrival for the state.
Developing a vice-like grep over the city with business
interests totally 30 billion euros a
year.
At his estimated that there are over
7,000 Act of Kimora members and Naples who
operate in about 100 separate Clans five
times as many as a sicilian Mafia known
as the Cosa Nostra.
They have been responsible for nearly 4,000 murders in
the past 30 years.
Now Italy a member of the G8 and one of
Western Europe's richest countries has been
forced to send and the trips to regain control of
its streets.
Donald's here to find out why Naples has become the murder
capital of Europe.
And to explore the influence of the Kimura and
every corner of this city.
Unbelievable, unbelievable. This
is I mean, this is a modern European country.
And here you have this lawlessness here, you
know look at it.
Honestly seems like this as pervasive
this you'd hardly recognize that if
it was evening in Calcutta or India and here you are in one

Kimora have been in charge of waste management for 20
years.
And now with the dumps fill garbage is spilling
out onto the streets.
Don't know what's to find out more about the main players
of the Kimora and to see if there's a chance to meet with them.
So he's arranged to visit the Squadron mobile the

Donald that his chances of meeting a camarista who
will talk to him a slim. He has invited Donald to
accompany his Elite high-speed motorbike unit
on a raid that evening.
As Donald leaves, please headquarters. He passes more
soldiers on the street clearly. He's in more
than just a tough time here.
He's looking to expose a criminal organization. That is
far deadlier than any street gang.
But if he's going to find out how the Kimura has
become a way of life in the city, he's going to have to delve
deeper into the Neapolitan underworld.

Donald McIntyre is
in Naples Italy to find out why a civil
war is Raging on the streets of this beautiful city here.
They have a phrase.

The phrase was coined 200 years ago to
describe Naples Beauty, but now that alludes
to the deadly power of the Region's greatest Menace the
city's criminal Mafia the Kimura.
Donald's on his way to Police Headquarters to meet up
with the members of the elite flying Squad who are planning
a raid on a known drug and gun dealer.
The team are gathered in the briefing room Donald knows
that the flying Squadron Elite unit, but reckons that
these faces wouldn't look out of place at a wanted
poster.
The flying Squad need to move quickly and on
the busy streets of Naples that means cars are
ditched in favor of high-powered motorbikes.

thriving drug District where clients sell everything
from cocaine to cannabis.
The police warned Donald to refrain
from talking in front of the camarista as this
would identify him as a foreign journalist.
And might make him a Target.
The guys are waiting trying to gain entrance into a
house where a major Kimora family lives.
We're having problems. They're hanging out. This is
a very strong neighborhood.
It's in the middle of one of Naples poorest neighborhoods.

And more concerned about providing hospitality.
Hey everybody.
Oh.
Mother cheese all the stuff should you?
Despite a vigorous search the
squad can't find anything and they're forced to leave empty-handed.
This is a perfect example of how difficult it
is for the police to fight the war against the Kimora.
They find a wealthy man living in a per suburb with
no obvious explanation as to how
he got all his money.
But they are unable to find incriminating evidence proving criminal
activity and so are forced
to leave for police units fighting
against the Kimora and Naples their powers are
curved by the law. Where is the Kimora?

after serious threats to her life the police

The government considers Casal de Principe such
a major threat. It has sent and 500 trips
to patrol the streets for European
countries surrender the Civil Street to
their National Army that is something extraordinary and
exceptional but it does tell a story
of the threat of the Kimora pose.
Donal is determined to find out more about this neighborhood.
But it's so dangerous that the police incest he
can only go in with an escort.
On the edge of town he meets up with Silvana giusti from
the DIA the anti-mafia police. She tells
him the DIA are planning an
operation targeting and known Kimora boss.
And that he can come along.
Let's go, okay.

Less embarrassing story had made news just before
Donald arrived in Naples.
Kimora Kingpin Antonio Iovine wanted for
murder and one of at least top 30 fugitives was
found to have been renting out a
property to a NATO officer.

there people trying to stare me down
from a very expensive Mercedes car looking very wealthy
and then they pull the head away when the
cameras faced with so there's that definitely attempted
intimidating us as a film crew
and for me as a journalist.
Donald approaches the people living in the house to find
out if they know their landlord is from the comoro.
Is that all right. Have you ever chat?
Your stories been well reported that you accidentally like
a number of other NATO employees found yourself
renting from the Kimora. Yeah. It
was by pure accident and we have a great Arrangement here.
We've got we live in a lovely home and the landlord
is a great individual and out of
the blue. We find Minister of
Finance show up in our house one day and and give
us the bad news that the house was sequestered
for anti-mafia reasons, which
was the total shock now granted. We knew that I saw the
Principe and had a reputation of supporting
the Kimora but you know, we never knew was
gonna hit home as they leave. They receive
more intelligence about NATO and advertently funding

So it seems from our police sources who've
just been in contact with the NATO top brass.
It seems this case of renting from the Kimora is
not just a one-off the NATO top brass We

The Kimura are allowing rubbish to spill out
onto the streets.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
For the past 20 years the Kimora have secretly brought

But the Kimora aren't just about toxic mud and

Their business tentacles also stretched to the Glamorous world

To find out more Donal is heading to scampia the
biggest open-air drugs Market in Europe.
Now we're coming into Escambia, which is a
stronghold of the comora and
it's pretty dank and dark and desolate but
we've been told that by the
police not to come here in here by ourselves. So we've had
to talk to our sources let those who run this area

Extraordinary that the police come in here with an army

Scampia is completely controlled by Kimora Clans
before Donald can enter our sources
have to negotiate with the Cowboys in charge who Grant permission
for Donald to film and the infamous La Vela
estate.
They are conditions for filming which include not identifying
any Kimora.
And no police escort for Donald.
The Kimura have
looked outs on the entrances and main roads of their state.
They signal to the bosses of an unknown car is
seen driving in.
Donald Carr attracts their attention and is forced
to stop.
Cut filming. Yeah.

The sentence was approached the car our team
Triton negotiate with them, but it's too late
the car is surrounded and now
we're surrounded by drug dealers and drug addicts
and one of the makes a call to the Capo of
the area, but then suddenly things turn ugly.
Oh.
Okay.
The camera is seized and Donal is
told to get out of the car.
Thankfully her
contact is able to negotiate with
the Sentinels to let him go.
So we've had a bit of an incident the
one of the sentence Sentinels in
the scampia levelers called us
over stop us from filming took her camera took the
tape threatened to take the camera away for good. It was
very very aggressive. I don't think we were in danger but threatening.
Our equipment was we'd already hidden
all the recorded tapes in the
car and replaced the tape in the
camera with a blank tape. So, you know the worst was
gonna happen. We were gonna lose an expensive camera
on the tape, but as it happened we talked away out of
it and now we're considering going back. We'll see
if we can get in without being abused or
harassed.
After further negotiation Donal is
finally allowed into the estate.
This is one of the toughest and most Lawless
housing Estates in Europe.
With 50% of the population unemployed the
Kimora thrives here.
Dealers are not to 200 million euros every
year from drug sales in this area.
And it's a place where drug addicts from across Naples and
Italy come to buy the cheapest high-grade heroine
and crack cocaine and the EU.
Now even just a random place. You see the needles everywhere,
right? It's square meter. One, two, three,
four five six. I mean, there's about 12
needles.
I don't know this filming on the stairs of lavella. He is
joined by two Sentinels who are under orders to
watch him. They don't want to be identified.
These two young low-level camarista are at the bottom of the ladder, but
clearly they're already earning enough to dress well.
And they are probably armed.
They tell Donald that they are there to keep
an eye on what is being filmed and to make sure he doesn't go anywhere.
He shouldn't.
Effectively there has Kimora escort and the slums

As he's leaving Donald gets a call from
a contact. It's a major breakthrough in his quest to
talk to a comora member.
As we're discovering the murder that
Code of Silence really is very much
alive on these streets. No one wants to Secrets of
the comora to pass by their lips. No
one wants to be accused of betraying the secrets of the Kimora. So
it's very difficult to get anything to talk openly about their
work and how they operate now. We have
managed to track down to xcomery kamaristas
to x members of
the Kimora who are going to talk with about what
they've done and the work they do and be fasting to
see just how far they let us into that inner circle the
inner world of this very mysterious mafiosi organization.
This is an amazing opportunity for Donald to
speak first hand to those who have been directly involved in
Kimora violence and criminal activity.

So much to take in from meeting with the camera Easters, but
for me, one of the most crucial Parts is
that this city is really still at War. There is just

it could just take the smallest incident to trigger

back to Casal de principator visit the scene of the Kimora's bloodiest
crime.
And asks what the future holds for this beautiful city.
The Kimora in Naples
are the biggest criminal organization in the world.
They are responsible for more deaths than the IRA
Etta and Hamas put together. They pour
such a threat to the state that the government
has stationed trips on the streets and an attempt to
wrestle back control, but over
200 years the Kimura has terrorized
the people of Naples.
And that time over 4,000 people have been
killed.
One of their most brittle hips was a murder of the priest
on Pepe Diana in 1994.
Donald is returning to Casal de Principe with
Silvana and the DIA.
To visit the church of Saint Nicholas of Bari where Don
Pepe was killed.
The new Pantry has agreed to show
him around.
I love that. We don't be pinotiana and nobody
don't do actually Prato.
It's more envisioned positive energy solo

Don't Pepe Diana was a padre who stood
up to the Kimura and its first stronghold Casal de
Principe.
He refused to bury the Kimora dead and regularly denounce
the churches very own omerta towards the

Dinar, yeah to
see Channel whereas Emperor like
a movie Lucado lensa.
During his time in Naples. Donald has seen
the frightening and far-reaching power of the Kimora.
He's learned how it has evolved from a gang into
a powerful criminal industry taking advantage of
the poor people of the city. The presence
of government trips indicates their lack of
control in the city unable to compete with the money
Prestige and glamor over the Kimora. It seems
that this is a battle they are losing.
Many neapolitans show the Kimora greater support than
the government.
And only when that loyalty reverse will the Italian
State win the war and return the city of
Naples to peace.
