Rome prosecutors on Monday
requested the indictment of Ostia crime family member Roberto
Spada on charges of attacking a RAI reporter and a cameraman in
the Roman coastal municipality on November 7.
A request was also made for Spada's alleged accomplice, Ruben
Nelson Alvez del Puerto.
They are accused of bodily harm aggravated by mafia methods.
Roberto Spada is being held for allegedly head-butting and
breaking the nose of journalist Daniele Piervincenzi while being
quizzed about the Spada clan's alleged support for the far-right
CasaPound group, which scored an unexpectedly high 9% in recent
elections in the Roman coastal municipality.
Spada and del Puerto also allegedly attacked Piervincenzi's
cameraman.
