Italian police arrest first known transsexual mafia mobster

Published by mafia-news.com at 6:10 pm under Italy

The macho image of the Italian mafia has been shaken by the arrest of a transsexual mobster who dresses as a woman, wears lipstick and insists on being called Kitty.

The cross-dressing criminal, whose real name is Ugo Gabriele, was arrested by armed police during a raid in the southern port city of Naples, home to the Camorra, one of Italy’s four mafia groups.

Gabriele, 27, hardly conforms to the image of a gangster’s moll – his police mugshot shows him to be heavy set, with broad shoulders and a double chin.

But there is also an incongruous feminine touch – carefully sculpted eyebrows, blonde highlights in his hair and a light dab of lipstick.

Police said Gabriele was a mafia ‘capo’ or godfather who masterminded a drug dealing and prostitution racket in Naples for the Scissionisti clan of the Camorra.

Investigators said it was the first time they had arrested a transsexual mafia gangster.

Despite his chunky physique and masculine appearance he insisted on being addressed as Kitty, they said.

Gabriele was arrested with another 27 members of the Camorra, a powerful criminal organisation which was investigated by the Italian journalist Roberto Saviano in his best-selling book, Gomorrah, later made into a film.

“It’s a sign that the Camorra has changed not only its code of honour, which once forbade the killing of women and children; it has also changed its internal rules,” said the Corriere della Sera newspaper.

The mafia has traditionally shown no tolerance for homosexuality. Last year a convicted mobster who was suspected of being gay because he wrote poetry in his cell was subjected to a horrific gang-rape by fellow prisoners.

BAHAHAHA! Thats sad.

Nothing gets the message across that homosexuality is forbidden in the mafia like getting a bunch of dudes together in a room to take turns fucking the guy. :/
