Government cars for eight judicial
officials were found damaged in their parking lot at the Rome
courthouse on Friday, marked with the letters "Sdd".
The first car of the eight found damaged was that of Luca
Tescaroli, a magistrate investigating Rome's recently unmasked
local mafia known as "Mafia Capitale".
The other seven officials whose cars were damaged include
those of Franco Ionta, an assistant prosecutor and former head
of the prison administration; Francesco Minisci, an investigator
of Calabrian organized crime; Ilaria Calò, who has investigated
organized crime on the coastal area near Rome; and Erminio
Amelio, who has previously investigated Italian terrorist group
activity.
A formal investigation has been opened, and investigators
are currently reviewing security camera footage of the
courthouse parking lot in an attempt to identify the suspect, as
well as working to determine the meaning of the initials
engraved on the cars.
