Carminati 28 yrs asked, Buzzi 26 yrs (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 27 - A prosecutor on Thursday asked a court to sentence the two ringleaders in the Capital Mafia case, Massimo Carminati and Salvatore Buzzi, to 28 years and 26 years and three months respectively for their part in the sprawling graft case. Carminati, a former rightist terrorist and gangster, and Buzzi, a former leftwing cooperatives chief, are accused of leading a criminal organisation that muscled in on a slew of lucrative city of Rome contracts. The pair allegedly boasted they could make more money out of running Roma and migrant camps than they could have got out of drug trafficking. Carminati was allegedly the brains behind the operation and Buzzi his main business arm.
