Fourteen Arrested in Rome Dawn Raids Targeting Senese Network

Carabinieri executed a DDA-led court order under a gip authorization, with searches continuing.

Overview

  • Prosecutors accuse the suspects of attempted murder, illegal possession of firearms, aggravated extortion by the mafia method, and attempted kidnapping with the same aggravation.
  • Some alleged offenses are framed as actions intended to facilitate a mafia-type association, according to the DDA.
  • The Comando Provinciale Carabinieri, supported by special units, carried out the operation at dawn across multiple areas of Rome.
  • Investigators conducted perquisitions throughout the morning to secure sources of proof tied to the case.
  • Among reconstructed episodes is an assault tied to a Roman jeweler with interests overlapping the Di Lauro clan, after a local criminal allegedly posed as an emissary of the Senese family, prompting violent reactions and a compensation demand.
