Police are investigating a Fascist
salute delivered in a courtroom video link March 8 by Massimo
Carminati, one of the two ring-leaders in the sprawling Capital
Mafia case, judicial sources said Monday.
It also emerged Monday that the other ring-leader, Salvatore
Buzzi, paid Rome city police official 5,000 a month and paid
rent for him in exchange for favours.
Carminati, a former rightist militant and gangster, and
Buzzi, the former chief of a raft of leftwing cooperatives, are
charged with leading a gang that muscled in on lucrative city
contracts.
They were caught on wiretaps saying they could make more on
migrant and Roma camps than drug traffickers earn.
