Grillo blocks the mayor Raggi and takes the field on the now incandescent issue of waste in Rome. But new developments raise the controversy around theCouncilor for the Environment Paola Muraro, captured by some interceptions, in conversation with Salvatore Buzzi, the alleged boss of Mafia Capitale.
After the opening ofsurvey opened fromAnti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) right on the Ama, the Roman municipal company for the collection and disposal of waste, and after the growing discontent in the grillina house on the whole story which invested Raggi and the councilor Paola Muraro, Beppe Grillo decided to intervene on his blog, with a post signed together with the M5S Directory, to try to stem the rising wave of controversy. The title is explicit: “We are all with Virginia”. So the pentastellati leaders defend the mayor of Rome from “behind the scenes and false news on the reports of the spokesmen of the 5 Star Movement with Virginia and councilors in an attempt to discredit the mayor's work and in the (vain) hope of splitting us. Virginia and all the councilors - writes Grillo - are working headlong to give back to the Romans a clean, orderly, functional, alive city and to resolve the damage left by twenty years of bad politics".
After Grillo's intervention, however, new trouble broke out. Paola Muraro appears to have spoken on the phone with the «king of the coops» Salvatore Buzzi, the alleged boss of Mafia Capitale, to find out the fate of a contract won by the National Services Center of Bologna, of which he himself was a partner. It's conversations recorded and transcribed in the proceedings of the Roman DDA investigation which could put the owner of the Campidoglio Environment Department in further difficulty. They appear in the journals and had not been transcribed so far. In the light of the latest checks carried out by Roman magistrates on waste management in the capital, it is possible that those talks will now be re-evaluated to see if they may contain interesting information for the ongoing investigations. But also to better understand the hypothesized agreement between Muraro herself and the then CEOCEO of Ama, Franco Panzironi, the former treasurer of John Alemanno, on Buzzi's payroll (5 thousand euros a month according to the Ros investigations) and for this reason ended up on trial on charges of mafia-type association. In other words, we are trying to understand whether or not there is a conflict of interest for the councilor chosen by the grillini who was a consultant to the Ama at the time.
