Investigation into Former Undersecretary’s Company Unveils Alleged Mafia Ties
An ongoing investigation by the Rome prosecutor’s office has revealed a potential link between the company of former undersecretary Andrea Delmastro and the Sienese clan, a powerful Camorra family in Rome. According to the investigation, Delmastro’s company, Le 5 Forchette srl, may have been involved in money laundering activities on behalf of the clan. The accusations are based on evidence that the company received capital of mafia origin, which was then reinvested in the Bisteccheria d’Italia restaurants.
Accusations and Investigations
The Rome prosecutor’s office has served a notice to appear to Delmastro’s former partner, 18-year-old Miriam Caroccia, and her father Mauro, who is suspected of being a historic launderer for the Sienese clan. The investigation suggests that Miriam Caroccia was a figurehead for the company, and that her father was involved in the money laundering activities. The company, which was established in the office of the Biella notary Carlo Scola, has several high-profile members, including regional councilor Davide Eugenio Zappalà, councilor Cristiano Francheschini, and regional vice president Elena Chiorino, all of whom are members of the Fratelli d’Italia party.
The investigation has also revealed that the company may have been involved in fictitious registration, with the Turin prosecutor’s office opening a case on the matter. The question remains as to how the leaders of a party could have opened a company with a frontman, and whether they were aware of the potential mafia ties. The Rome prosecutor’s office is working to reconstruct the money flows and determine the extent of the company’s involvement with the Sienese clan.
Money Flows and Suspicious Activities
The investigation has found that the Bisteccheria d’Italia restaurants may have been used to launder money and increase the presence of the Sienese clan in the territory. The company’s financial records show that it received large sums of money, which were then used to purchase supplies, furnishings, and other equipment. However, the origin of these funds is unclear, and the investigation suggests that they may have come from illicit activities.
Miriam Caroccia has denied any wrongdoing, stating that she never gave money to anyone or signed deeds for the sale of shares. However, the investigation has raised questions about how she was able to pay the initial fee of 5,000 euros and acquire further shares with another 5,000 euros in cash. The Financial Police is working to acquire invoices and accounting documentation to reconstruct the flows and determine the extent of the company’s involvement with the Sienese clan.
The investigation is ongoing, and the anti-mafia magistrates of Rome are expected to hear from Miriam Caroccia and her father in the coming days. As the investigation unfolds, it is clear that the allegations against Delmastro’s company are serious and potentially far-reaching. For more information, visit Here
