Quagliarella reveals he had to leave Napoli because of false links with the Camorra Mafia
“[Napoli president] Aurelio De Laurentiis sold me because he had received anonymous letters and phone messages accusing me of taking cocaine during house parties with Camorra Mafia members”, the 32-year-old Torino striker told Sport Mediaset.
“I was forced to leave my hometown and Napoli sold me to Juventus. I had been falsely accused of being a Camorrist and of being a pedophile who was participating in orgies.”
“President De Laurentiis used to call me every day, but after those letters he advised to me to leave my hometown Castellammare di Stabia to go live in a hotel, to be more calm and relaxed."
"After that conversation that took place in Napoli's heaquarters, he had never called me again.”
