24 September 2019The Spada clan constitutes "a mafia-style criminal association". The Court of Assizes of Rome in the trial, celebrated in the bunker hall of Rebibbia, against 24 defendants linked to the Ostia family, decided this after a 10-hour council chamber.

The sentence of the judges is three life sentences and recognition of the mafia association. Life imprisonment for the leaders Carmine Spada, known as Romoletto, for Roberto Spada, already condemned for the story of the title to a RAI journalist and to Ottavio Spada, known as Marco.

The requests of the Pm
Prosecutors of the Rome Dda, Mario Palazzi and Ilaria Calò, had asked for the conviction for twenty-four defendants: 208 years in prison in total and the life sentence for Carmine Spada, Roberto Spada, already sentenced for the Rai Daniele journalist for the warhead in Ostia Piervincenzi, and for Ottavio Spada. He also asked for sentences of 16 years in prison for Ottavio Spada, known as Maciste, at 11 for Nando De Silvio, known as Focanera, and at 8 for Roberto Spada, known as Zibba, while for Ruben Alvez del Puerto, also involved in the attack on the journalist, a sentence of 10 years in prison was requested. The proceeding is linked to the arrests that occurred on January 25, 2018 during the "Eclissi" operation in which the magistrates of Piazzale Clodio contested the mafia-type criminal association. Among the crimes hypothesized also murder, extortion and usury.

Also waiting for the sentence was the mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi.
