Police say the sweep on Wednesday followed the capture earlier this year of a convicted boss in the Camorra crime syndicate.

Investigators say the Camorra controls trafficking in drugs and arms in the Naples area as well as extortion and prostitution rackets.

Police said that the latest raids led to the confiscation of apartments, cars, motorcycles, farmland and companies worth nearly $480 million in total.
