Raffaele Cutolo (born December 20, 1941 in Ottaviano near Naples ) is a boss of the Neapolitan Camorra . He is the founder of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO), one of the two large families of today's Camorra. Although he has been imprisoned again and again since 1963, he also rules the NCO from the prison cell. He became famous in 1981 when a leading politician of the Italian Christian Democrats ( Democrazia Cristiana ), Ciro Cirillo , was kidnapped by the Red Brigades and Cutolo was paid by the Christian Democrats to rescue the politician from the hands of the Red Brigades.

In 1986 the Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore dedicated a film to him called 'The Professor' (Il Camorrista) . The term "professor" is his nickname in the Camorra.
