Massimo Carminati

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Massimo Carminati (born May 31, 1958 in Milan , nickname "the last king of Rome") is an Italian criminal. He was a member of the militant neo-fascist organization Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionari (German: "Armed Revolutionary Cores"), which worked from 1977 to 1981 and is probably responsible for 33 murders. He was also a member of the criminal organization Banda della Magliana (German: "Magliana gang"). Both organizations played a key role in the corruption scandals up until the 1990s.

Life

Carminati was born in Milan. In the 1960s the family moved to Rome . There he was first active in the neo-fascist party Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI), later in the sub-organization Fronte universitario d'azione nazionale (FUAN) in Nomentano , a district in the northeast of Rome. He got his first pistol at the age of 14. He lived in Perugia with his friend Franco Anselmi, who was two years older than him, and attended the university there with him. On March 6, 1978, his friend was shot dead while robbing an arms store. In revenge, Carminati presumably detonated a bomb in the armory. He could never be convicted for this act.

Carminati lost his left eye in a shootout with border guards in 1981 while attempting to illegally cross Switzerland . He was charged in 1993, along with Giulio Andreotti and Gaetano Badalamenti, of having been involved in the 1979 murder of journalist Carmine Pecorelli . On November 17, 2002, Andreotti, Badalamenti and Carminati were sentenced in the second instance to 24 years' imprisonment each for the murder of Pecorelli. But in 2003 all three were finally acquitted by the highest court in Italy. 2012 was determined against Carminati for manipulating competitions.

Arrested in 2014 and trial in Rome

In December 2014, Carminati was arrested along with 36 other suspects accused of belonging to a criminal network. This network, which was organized by Carminati, ran through the state administration. Carminati faces charges of money laundering, fraud, breach of trust and bribery of public officials. Rome's former mayor Gianni Alemanno is also involved in the scandal. A trial against Carminati and over 45 other defendants has been ongoing in Rome since November 5, 2015. For security reasons, his statements will be video broadcast into the courtroom. The bribes are said to have been used to award government contracts for waste disposal, running refugee homes, cleaning parks or building roads to companies that work with or are at least close to the mafia .

Massimo Carminati was sentenced to 20 years in prison that summer. The court found guilty of collecting millions for public tenders as the head of the Mafia network through bribery and extortion.

Carminati's “business partner”, entrepreneur Salvatore Buzzi, was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Buzzi had already been sentenced to 30 years in prison in 1983 for the brutal murder of a confessed member of his gang. He was released as "cleansed" after six years in prison.
