“There will be more operations soon.” These are the words of the chief prosecutor of Rome Giuseppe Pignatone, who intervened following two new arrests by the party of the Carabinieri del Ros within theCapital Mafia investigation. Rocco Rotolo and Salvatore Ruggiero ended up in handcuffs, both for mafia-type association. They are accused of having ensured the link between some cooperatives managed by the Roman cupola and the 'Ndrangheta.
In this regard, the magistrate added: “Today we have taken a step forward, but there is no connection with the classic mafias. It is an original and original mafia because it is a Roman mafia with its own characteristics. And in any case there is not a single mafia association that controls Rome, as in Palermo or Reggio Calabria. There are some specific associations that are in Rome, such as the Fasciani in Ostia and others, linked to Cosa Nostra, in the city”. In total, the Guardia di Finanza carried out seizures for 220 million euros. “But it is a figure destined to grow”, added Pignatone. Which then announced new operations on the way.
