Tearing down shrine to Mafia’s teenaged “baby boss”

Police in Italy dismantled a shrine memorializing the Mafia's “Baby Boss” Emanuele Sibillo; known as ES17, Sibillo was legendary in the Camorra in Naples, despite his rise and fall both coming when still a teenager. Let me tell you about it.

The Mob Reporter here with the story of Emanuele Sibillo, a leader of a so-called baby gang. In Italy they are called “la paranza dei bambini.” He was killed at 19. After his death in 2015, the shrine kept his memory alive with photos, a statue, flowers and tributes. Police came to dismantle the display, saying it became a tool for crime. As the second part of the police message to the paranza, 21 people were arrested, accused of belonging to the Sibillo clan.
