The Società foggiana, also known as Mafia Foggiana (Foggian mafia) and the fifth mafia (in addition to Cosa Nostra in Sicily, the ’Ndrangheta in Calabria, the Camorra in Campania and the Sacra Corona Unita in greater Apulia, from which the Società foggiana split), is a mafia-type Italian organized criminal organization and criminal society operating in a large part of the Province of Foggia, including the city of Foggia itself, and having significant infiltrations also in other Italian regions. Currently, it is considered one of the most brutal and bloody of all the organized crime groups in Italy—there was about one murder a week, one robbery a day and an extortion attempt every 48 hours in Foggia province in 2017 and 2018. These were wrongly reported as the work of the Sacra Corona Unita

dbo:abstract
  • The Società foggiana, also known as Mafia Foggiana (Foggian mafia) and the fifth mafia (in addition to Cosa Nostra in Sicily, the ’Ndrangheta in Calabria, the Camorra in Campania and the Sacra Corona Unita in greater Apulia, from which the Società foggiana split), is a mafia-type Italian organized criminal organization and criminal society operating in a large part of the Province of Foggia, including the city of Foggia itself, and having significant infiltrations also in other Italian regions. Currently, it is considered one of the most brutal and bloody of all the organized crime groups in Italy—there was about one murder a week, one robbery a day and an extortion attempt every 48 hours in Foggia province in 2017 and 2018. These were wrongly reported as the work of the Sacra Corona Unita (the fourth mafia) by news media unaware of the new independent mafia in Foggia province. "But that wasn't the case. We are witnessing what should be called a fifth mafia, independent of the Sacra Corona Unita", according to Giuseppe Volpe, a prosecutor and anti-mafia head of Bari. In 2020 at least three mafia subgroups were operating in the region around Foggia: the Società Foggiana, the Cerignola clan, known for armoured car robberies and cocaine smuggling, and a group active around Gargano, where 80% of killings go unsolved and whose bosses are believed to have killed 360 people.

  • La società foggiana (nota anche come quarta mafia) è un cartello criminale di stampo mafioso operante nella città di Foggia e in maggior parte della vasta provincia, ma con cospicue infiltrazioni anche in altre regioni italiane; è considerata come una delle mafie italiane più brutali e sanguinarie. In considerazione dell'escalation criminale registrato negli ultimi anni, nella provincia di Foggia, il 15 febbraio 2020, è stata istituita un'altra Sezione Operativa della Direzione Investigativa Antimafia (DIA) alle dipendenze del Centro Operativo di Bari. Nel gennaio 2022 è stata inoltre sancita la presenza di un presidio della Direzione distrettuale antimafia (DDA) di Bari. (it)
