'Ndrangheta in Rome, 17 convictions for the leaders
From Radio Rome- March 20, 2024

«The first "Local" of the 'Ndrangheta in Rome, founded in 2015, operated for a long time, acting exactly in parallel with the State, with its own "dispute resolution" tools and with its own "executive procedures" , with consistent availability of weapons ». This is what we read among the reasons for the sentence pronounced at the end of the abbreviated trial by the preliminary hearing judge Tamara De Amici , in which seventeen defendants were convicted , eight of whom will serve sentences of between 10 and 20 years in prison. The latter punishment was established for Antonio Carzo , 64 years old, accused of being at the top of the first "local" cell of the Capitoline 'Ndrangheta . Above all, considered the founder of the Roman club after a meeting in Calabria. The preliminary hearing judge also sentenced Carzo's sons : Domenico to 16 years and 8 months , and Vincenzo to 15 years and 7 months. Francesco Calò was instead sentenced to 12 years . Vincenzo Alvaro is also involved in the investigation, called «Propaggine» , and will be judged according to the ordinary procedure. All defendants sentenced to sentences exceeding ten years are charged with mafia-style criminal association aimed (depending on the case) at robberies, extortion or money laundering .
