Massimo Carminati, one of the two
alleged ring-leaders in the sprawling Capital Mafia case, told a
court Wednesday that he was proud to be a neofacist and said the
case is only a big deal because he is implicated in it.
"I am an old Fascist of the 1970s and I'm very happy about
what I am," Carminati, a former member of the NAR neofascist
terrorist group and of the Banda della Magliana crime gang, told
a hearing held at Rome's Rebibbia jail.
"If I were not involved, this trial would be ridiculous. But
as Carminati is involved, it is something serious".
Carminati and former leftwing cooperatives chief Salvatore
Buzzi were allegedly at the centre of a mafia organization that
muscled in on city of Rome contracts worth millions.
