Mug shot of Francesco Matrone.

Francesco Matrone (born in Scafati, July 15, 1947) is an Italian Camorrista. He was on the "most wanted list" of the Italian ministry of the Interior for murder in 2007 and other organized crime related charges[1] until his arrest on August 17, 2012, in Battipaglia (Campania).[2][3]

He had received two life sentences for a double homicide.[3] Matrone is at the head of the Loreto-Matrone clan of the Camorra, along with Pasquale Loreto. The clan is considered to be in decline, especially compared to the 1990s, when it was predominant in Scafati and surroundings.[2]
