Rome, the shop after Diabolik. The new "system" of clans
The Piscitelli murder stabilized relations: groups do not wage war

In Villalba, a neighborhood between Rome and Guidonia, they called it the Calabrian fort: a real drug dealing square hidden in an apartment protected by cameras and surrounded by one-way streets alternating with "horses" and lookouts placed at the corners. Buyers arrived at all hours of the day, parked, buzzed and the dose was delivered to them. In half a day, this domestic square yielded no less than 2,050 euros. A great deal of money was recovered by the police officers of the Flying Squad who, after an ambush, broke in, seizing drugs, weapons, money and recovering part of the drug in the sewers because if in open-air squares the drugs are thrown into dumpsters or braziers in closed ones are flushed down the toilets.

A new reality that adds to the traditional squares that never go out of fashion but which, on the contrary, multiply. As in the case of Santa Palomba, a neighborhood in the south of Rome.They had set up two perfectly balanced drug dealing squares». "Serving" drugs to both sides was Fabiola Moretti , the former Scarlet Pimpernel of the Banda della Magliana .

February 2022: it is still the time for the "reorganization" although two and a half years have passed since that 7 August 2019 when, at the Parco degli Acquedotti, Fabrizio "Diabolik" Piscitelli, the man who more or less consciously had attempted to "climb" the system after growing up in the shadow of a boss - lucidly "crazy" - ended up like a traitor: killed from behind with a single gunshot. In a hearing before the Anti-Mafia Commission, the former chief prosecutor Michele Prestipino said: "The Piscitelli murder is a strategic murder, it was functional to the reorganization of some criminal balances not only in the city of Rome". But in the capital, the names of those in charge of the drug dealing have been chasing each other for years: native criminals - Gambacurta, Sgambati, Sterlicchio, Casamonica -, Neapolitans (Siena, Moccia, Nastasi, Licciardi) and Calabrians, from the Belloccos to the Filippones up to the Strangios.
