Papa Sciotti Ran Naples Black Market Gambit
In Naples, Amadeo Sciotti known as Papa Sciotti ran a black market network aiding AWOL soldiers with forged passes and lodging. MPs led by T-5 James W. McCormack and Pfc Albert F. Williamson closed the operation, detaining Sciotti and more than 20 associated deserters. Naples hosts a massive racketeering scene with AMG courts handling thousands of cases.
