Erminia Giuliano

Erminia Giuliano (Italian pronunciation:[erˈmiːnjadʒuˈljaːno]; born December 31, 1955) is a former member of the Giuliano clan of the Camorra, based in the district of Forcella, Naples. Her nickname was Celeste ("Sky-blue") on account of her bright, blue eyes.[1][2]

Taking over the Giuliano clan

She took over the Giuliano clan crime business after the arrest of her brother Luigi Giuliano in early 2000, who was the last of the five male family members to be arrested. Luigi would eventually become a pentito in September 2002 and testify against various Camorra figures, including members of his own clan.[3] She became the boss because the only direct male heir to the family business still unimprisoned, Giuliano's nephew Pio Vittorio Giuliano, was deemed inept.[4]

She was ranked as one of Italy's 30 most dangerous criminals, and eventually arrested on December 23, 2000, after being a fugitive for over 10 months.[3][5] Her speciality within the clan was counterfeiting banknotes.[

 NAPLES – Thousands of grieving Neapolitans poured out into the city’s streets to honour the memory of Argentine soccer hero Diego Armando Maradona, who led Napoli to two Serie A titles – in 1987 and 1990 - as well as the 1989 UEFA Cup victory.

 Napoli fans gathered in front of the Maradona mural in a square in the Spanish Quarter, lighting dozens of candles following news of his death.

 A small bar in the square was projecting images of the goals scored by the soccer legend, who kicked a total of 115 for Napoli. There was none more famous than the winning goal scored in the November 1985 home clash against Juventus, then reigning European champions.

 Maradona, who was released two weeks ago from a Buenos Aires hospital following brain surgery, died Wednesday of a heart attack, aged 60.

 "Diego Armando Maradona, the greatest footballer of all time, has died,” Mayor of Naples, Luigi de Magistris, wrote in a tweet. “Diego made our people dream, he redeemed Naples with his genius. In 2017 he became our honorary citizen. Diego, Neapolitan and Argentine, you gave us joy an

After the fall: The World Cup dream is over for Diego Maradona, but there may be worse to come - a little matter of pounds 500,000-worth of smuggled cocaine, and the Naples mafia. Paul Greengrass and Toby Follett report

What is surprising about the demise of Diego Maradona in this year's World Cup is not the discovery that he was caught using drugs and banned from the tournament, or that his once-glorious side was subsequently knocked out of the championship in a 3-2 defeat by Romania on Sunday. The astonishing thing is that given the seriousness of the charges and convictions related to his drug habit in Italy, Maradona got to play in the World Cup in the first place and that the consistent attempts to brush this history under the carpet were successful for so long.

Apart from convictions for possession and supply in Italy, the most serious aspect of Maradona's involvement with drugs may be shown in a case going through the Rome courts in which he faces a charge of smuggling pounds 500,000-worth of cocaine into Fiumicino airport in 1990, the year of the last World Cup in Italy.
