Rome is not only the political capital of Italy but also one of the most important criminal ones.
In recent times what everybody into intelligence/crime knew for a long time became explicit.
The town has been run in the past few years by both left and right politicians connected to a weird mix of murderers, ex terrorists, mafiosi from Naples and Calabria, Sinti gipsies, etc.
Many the means of incomes: drugs, loan sharking, corruption and a very peculiar immigrant management that uncovered why some people was so happy about the various wars in Northern Africa and the Middle east.
As said by Buzzi himself (head of a left wing social trust previously jailed for a brutal murder and strict collaborator of an ex right wing murderer connected to the so called Banda della Magliana, a gang that run Rome in the 80's) immigrants brings more money than drugs.
There are thousands of pages on line regarding the subject, so I won't bore you with that.
What I wanted to share was yeseterday's funeral of one of the heads of the Casamonica's klan, a Sinti/Gipsys family that runs a big slice of the drug market and other form of exploitations/crimes in Rome. Without any problems and with big advertisement with posters with written "King of Rome", helicopters spreading flowers from the sky, brass bands playing the godfather, a space odisssey and paradise (!!!).
