ROME, Italy (CNN) -- Italian police arrested 49 alleged mobsters suspected of homicide, extortion, theft, drug smuggling, and illegal possession of weapons in the Naples area, the Italian Interior Ministry said Friday.
The sweep by Neapolitan police, along with officers from other southern Italian provinces, targeted alleged mobsters belonging to the Cava clan, an offshoot of the Neapolitan mafia, the ministry said in a statement.
The statement said the investigation into the group began in 2003 and is ongoing.
