Rome mafia revelations shock Italy

Among those put behind bars is the Roman mobsters‘ alleged leader Massimo Carminati, a former member of the NAR neofascist terrorist group and of the Banda della Magliana crime gang. „Do you have any idea how much I make on these immigrants?“ Carminati‘s right-hand man Salvatore Buzzi says in a 1,200-page wiretap from early 2013. (..) The immigrant racket – which allegedly involved controlling the social cooperatives running the CIEs and the Roma people camps – was allegedly coordinated by Luca Odevaine, a deputy cabinet secretary under former center-left mayor Walter Veltroni.
