Over 300 Paratroopers Supporting Law Enforcement in Naples for the Execution of Judicial Orders

The Italian Army announced today that a contingent of about 300 soldiers from the 186th Paratroopers Regiment Folgore has been deployed, from November 28 to December 16, in the municipality of Caivano in the province of Naples, at the request of the Prefecture and the Police Headquarters of Naples, to support the Police Forces in the execution of a forcible eviction of 36 illegally occupied apartments in the Rione Parco Verde. The operation represented a crucial moment to reaffirm the presence of the State in an area marked by illegality and decay.

Following the issuance of preventive seizure orders by the Judicial Authority of the Court of Naples North, the Prefecture requested the intervention of the Italian Army, which promptly mobilized a Task Force of 300 soldiers. The Paratroopers of the “Folgore” reached the operation area in less than 48 hours, immediately engaging in both day and night control activities.

During the operation, the soldiers conducted over 200 patrols and ensured fixed posts at five sensitive targets, working in close synergy with the Police Forces to ensure public order and safety for the residents. To enhance the effectiveness of the device, specialized units from the 21st Engineers Regiment and the 41st IMINT Regiment “Cordenons” also intervened, providing advanced technical and technological support.

This initiative is part of a broader territorial control strategy carried out by the Institutions to improve the safety and quality of life of citizens. The speed and effectiveness of the Paratroopers' deployment, also facilitated by the support of the COMFOP Sud, underline the strong commitment of the Italian Army to respond promptly and effectively to the needs of particularly complex areas, contributing to reaffirming the presence of the State and laying the foundations for more solid and lasting economic, cultural, and social development.
