Petrosino Victim of the Camorists
Naples reports further evidence that New York detective Joseph Petrosino was killed by Nevles Camorist Black Hand network. Documents tied to Camorist leader Erric Alfano show a telegram to Naples police claiming Petrosino exposed Alfano in New York and offering to surrender him. Alfano later escaped New York but was recaptured by Italian authorities with Petrosino's help. The case strengthens the view that the Camorists plotted the murder.
