The gang operating in Terlizzi, Puglia, started its activity in
the 90’s. It began with a series of embezzlements through
the possession of companies’ identities using it for their
illegal purposes while the “real” company was totally
unaware of the criminal activity performed.
Over the years the phenomenon, facilitated by the new
technology (mostly through Internet), moved from Puglia to
Campania.

Where are we now?
Is any data really reliable up to now
to allow all parties involved to better
control and prevent these events?
Only our experience can help us!
CONCLUSION

Where we want to go. Our goal
We believe that an Observatory can be the only
efficient tool to monitor these matters. A complete
and detailed database filled out by all parties will
allow us to have significant tools and capabilities
to reduce these events. To defeat, or at least
control them, we need governmental measures
and valid instruments with decisive actions to be
planned by local and national authorities.
