An Italian court on Wednesday sentenced Camorra boss Maria Licciardi, one of the few women to lead a mafia clan, to almost 13 years in prison, media reports said.Licciardi, 71, known as “the little one” because of her small stature, was arrested in August 2021 while attempting to fly to Spain, apparently to visit her daughter.
She was found guilty of being the leader of a Camorra clan founded by her brothers and handed 12 years and eight months in jail.
Italy’s interior ministry has also described her as a leading member of a group of mafia families which is said to control the organised crime in Naples.
