Sex, drugs and people smuggling. Emma Alberici braves a no-man's land near Naples to report on a ruthless new crime group that's moving in on the local mafia. Will the Nigerian mafia be as hard to root out as the local mob?
"When you enter the organization, you cannot get out other than by death,"- Italy's top mafia investigator.

The mafia is one of Italy's most famous international business brands, with an estimated annual turnover of $250B a year.
But its market share is being challenged by a group of ruthless new players.

The director of Italy's anti-mafia agency says Nigerian crime gangs are organised and dangerous.
“It has many similar traits to Italian mafia - its oaths, its sense of belonging, the capacity to coerce, the code of silence...even the local mafia fear them."
Specialists in trafficking humans for sexual slavery and drug running, the Nigerians are now being allowed to run their operations in return for giving the Italian mafia a cut.
