The Italian Godmother


The Italian Godmother, Raffaella D’Alterio, who was known as “The Big Kitten” became the new Camorra boss in Naples after her husband, Nicola Pianese, was murdered.

D’Alterio was arrested in 2012 alongside 65 other suspects during raids at dawn by armed officers in Italy. Police seized over $10 million worth of vehicles from D’Alterio including a Ferrari with solid gold number plate.

The Godmother was no stranger to violence, as she suffered from three gun shot wounds after a previous shooting took place by a rival gang who were jealous of her leadership. 

The Camorra mob are believed to be responsible for more than 4,000 killings in the past 30 years. 

D’Alterio’s charges include extortion, money laundering, fake money trafficking, robbery, possession of illegal arms and dealing drugs. The gang have been estimated to make more than $200 billion a year.
