Lo Russo clan

The Lo Russo clan is a Neapolitan Camorra clan operating on its territory within the city of Naples, concentrated specifically in the area of Miano.

The Lo Russo clan was formed in the late seventies by the Lo Russo brothers, Salvatore, Vincenzo and Giuseppe aka "i Capitoni" (The Captains).

After its formation, it immediately merged into the Nuova Famiglia (NF), a federation of Anti-Cutolo Camorra clans consisting of Michele Zaza (a Camorra boss with strong ties with Cosa Nostra), the Gionta clan from Torre Annunziata, the Nuvoletta clan from Marano, Antonio Bardellino from San Cipriano d'Aversa and Casal di Principe, the Alfieri clan led by Carmine Alfieri, the Galasso clan of Poggiomarino led by Pasquale Galasso, the Giuliano clan from Naples' quarter Forcella led by Luigi Giuliano and the Vollaro clan from Portici led by Luigi Vollaro. It was formed to contrast the growing power of Raffaele Cutolo's Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO).

The war against the NCO resulted in the victory of the Lo Russo's and other NF clans. However, the NF alliance soon disintegrated into many feuding clans, with a war breaking out between the Casalesi and Nuvoletta clans towards the end of 1983. After the end of the NF alliance, the Lo Russo clan joined the newly formed Secondigliano Alliance), a coalition of powerful Camorra clans which controls drug trafficking and the extortion rackets in many suburbs of Naples.
