Analysis of other national mafias Among the autochthonous criminal groups that have acquired over the years greater autonomy, influence and criminal thickness in the secular panorama, and Roman in particular, stands certainly the famous CASAMONICA clan, whose presence probably dates back to the 1960s, when Roma families from Abruzzo and Molise, among which also some belonging to the SPADA and the DI SILVIO, fixed in the Capital, in the time increasingly stable, their headquarters.
The illicit aspects of conduct related to different gravitating characters in this context have emerged in a particular way since the collaboration with the cd.
Banda della Magliana, which in the 1970s had brought together some specific and restricted delinquential areas operating on Rome in a real organization dedicated to gambling, robberies, trafficking of drugs and kidnappings in person.
The main role at the time attributed to some members of the CASAMONICA was attributable to the cd. field of "credit recovery", intended in the misleading language as a set of serial and repeated threats and violent actions to ensure to the organization of reference the proceeds of illicit activities, in case of reluctance of the victims to yield to the prevaricarious claims of the sodali.
Over time a marked familism, the consequent strong bonds of solidarity and use

Half-yearly report AT PARLIAMENT of a language of its own difficult understanding (in particular the mixture of the dialect of Abruzzo or Roman with the original Roman hinders in fact the understanding of communications and makes it difficult also to carry out any technical activities) are factors that have facilitated the criminal drift of numerous elements of these groups, which are therefore difficult to permeate from the outside, even for the close mutual collaboration
At present the presence of CASAMONICA has long been rooted in the areas inserted in the south-east quadrant of Rome, extending from Porta Furba to Tuscolana, from Romanina to Anagnina, up to Spinaceto, Frascati, Grottaferrata, Monte Compatri and, through kinship with SPADA, they were also able to extend their influence on the coast of Ostia.
Among the most remunerative illicit activities are extortion, usury, crimes against heritage, drug trafficking, fictitious heading of goods and money laundering, as well as opportunistic attempts to infiltration of some public apparatuses.
In addition, threats, personal injury and rarely the appeal to weapons in dispute resolution are part of the modus operandi and the subculture typical of this criminal context.
To confirm the rooting and their increased influence on the secular territory, it has long been observed how traditional mafia consorteries prefer to interact rather than oppose these criminal realities, according to a logic of balance and division of interests, in search of profitable relations of exchange and collusion that allow the more structured criminal organizations to infiltrate silently, especially in the economic-financial fabric.
In this regard, the results of the ultra-decent coexistence among the various forms of crime have emerged significantly in the course of the investigation called "In the shadow of the Cupolone"23, which in February 2019 led to the confiscation of goods attributable to the CASAMONICA family, following the recognition of ties and alliances with 'ndrine and Camoristic clans.
The inclination of the consortium to exploit synergies and co-interests with different forms of crime was also confirmed by the results of the operation "Brazil low cost"24, which demonstrated the strong ability of the clan to draw alliances with other criminal actors.
In January 2019, as part of the above-mentioned investigation, the Guardia di Finanza carried out a ruling of precautionary custody of 5 subjects investigated, for various reasons, for association aimed at the international traffic of narcotics destined to feed the plazas of Rome and Naples.
In this context, precisely to a well-known representative of CASAMONICA had been entrusted the delicate task of keeping direct contacts with South American narcos cartels, in the case of Brazilian species, for the importation in Italy of a quantity of cocaine equal to their entire annual production, estimated in about 7 tons (the criminal agreement has not yet been realized because of the incidental arrest of the same for other crimes).
The autonomy and criminal fame acquired over time have inevitably led to strong contrasting actions, and the various procedural procedures, from time to time established, have been concluded not only with the frequent investigation of the cd. mafia method ex art.416 bis 1 c.p., but also, in some circumstances, with the judicially definitive feedback of the subsistence of all

1785/2019 of the Supreme Court of Cassazione, with which it has been established that the clan CASAMONICA-SPADA-DI SILVIO is a mafia-type criminal association, documenting the conditions of subjection, intimidation and omerity arising from the ability to resort to violence, psychic or compulsive, for the attainment of unlawful purposes.
The judgment had been retracing the results of Operation "Gramigna"25 at the expense of the aforementioned clans for drug trafficking crimes, extortion, usury, committed with the aggravating mafia method, as well as abusive weapons detention.
In July 2018, in Rome and the Province, the Carabinieri's Arma had executed an ruling of precautionary custody at the expense of 37 persons considered, for various reasons, responsible for traffic and drug trafficking offences, extortion, usury, arbitrary exercise of financial activity and fictitious heading of goods, with the aggravating appeal at the cd.
"mafia method", ex art. 416 bis 1 c.p. At 13 of the inquisitors had also been challenged to have taken part in the Mafia association called CASAMONICA clan, operating in the Appia-Tuscolana area of the Capital.
The activity carried out had made it possible to ascertain the existence of an autochthonous mafia association structured on several criminal groups, with prevalent family connotations, characterized by its own decision-making, operational and economic autonomy, and dedicated to various crimes including the spread of drugs, the usury and the extortions, which could boast links established over time with other criminal organizations.
The investigations had in fact reconstructed an intense activity in the south-east part of the Capital, with supply channels also from Calabria, as well as numerous episodes of extortion and usury in damage of traders and entrepreneurs26.
Il 15 aprile 2019, nelle province di Roma, Taranto, Cosenza, Palermo, Caltanissetta, Nuoro, Sassari, Napoli, Frosinone e l'Aquila, l'Arma dei carabinieri, nell'ambito dell'indagine "Gramigna bis", ha eseguito un'OCC nei confronti di 20 indagati27 ritenuti responsabili, a vario titolo, di estorsione, usura, detenzione ai fini di spaccio di stupefacenti, trasferimento fraudolento di beni, favoreggiamento, danneggiamento, falsità in atto pubblico, anche questi commessi con l'aggravante del metodo mafioso.

Half-yearly report TO PARLIAMENT The investigation, continuation of the above mentioned operation "Gramigna"28, has allowed to document further illicit conducts placed in place both by subjects already previously under arrest, and by other characters, almost all belonging to the families of the CASAMONICA (the SPADA and SILVIO groups were also involved, although for a limited number of subjects), and led to the preventive seizure of companies, properties, cars, current accounts and precious objects29.
The operation "Sagunto espugnata"30, concluded in Rome in May 2019 by the Carabinieri, led to the execution of a ruling of precautionary custody issued by the Court of Rome against 22 inquiries, all belonging to the clan CASAMONICA, held responsible for drug trafficking conspiracy, mainly active in neighborhoods Quadraro and Porta Furba, while the operation "Fuel Discount"31, conducted by the Guardia di Finanza, has unveiled a maxi fraud to the Iva from over one hundred million euros, culminating in February 2020 in the application of precautionary measures to 13 subjects, among which included, with top roles, members of the family of CASAMONICA and the Cameroonian clan.
Of fundamental importance in this criminal field is also the judicial investigation called "We protect Rome"32, coordinated by the DDA of the Capital and concluded in June 2020 by the Polizia di Stato with the execution of 20 precautionary measures to the charge of belonging to the CASAMONICA family for the crimes of usury, extortion, all abusive exercise of the financial activity.
The activity carried out had allowed, in particular, to separate two important formations related to the CASAMONICA group, which, strong of the capillary control exercised on vast districts of the city, were self-defined as an organization able to protect Rome from the raid and interests of other external criminals.
Another significant sentence34 of conviction, which provides a picture of the high level of intimidation and subjection of the victims of the clan, is that issued the 22 febbraio 2023 from the Tribunal of Rome, which has inflicted a total of 37 years of imprisonment against 5 gravitating subjects in this criminal field, for a series of extortions aggravated by the mafia method, which were finalized
Nel corso della redazione della presente Relazione la Corte Suprema di Cassazione con la sentenza del 16 gennaio 2024 ha ribadito l'associazione mafiosa per il clan CASAMONICA, confermando sostanzialmente i precedenti gradi di giudizio (sentenza di primo grado del 20 settembre 2021 e sentenza della Corte d'Appello di Roma del 29 novembre 2022), riconoscendo anche l'aggravante dell'associazione armata per alcune posizioni di vertice.

Some 20 years of criminal organisation events were reconstructed during the investigation.
It was a structure characterized by a horizontal structure and the absence of a single summit, instead of a sort of "family council" that met in case of necessity, in representation of the individual families, linked together by opportunistic bonds of kinship, which over time fed the common sense of belonging.

The episode had provoked high median clamor also for the particularly violent modes of aggression and the consequent injuries reported by the victims, also leading to the dispute of several aggravating, including the Mafia method35 and the taking advantage of circumstances such as to hinder private defence36.
In addition to the major illicit activities briefly described, this partnership does not neglect, as mentioned above, attempts to infiltration within institutional apparatuses.
The 14 febbraio 2023 the Carabinieri of Rome gave execution to a restrictive measure37 against a lawyer, accused of having corrupted some officials of the judicial offices in order to obtain information and documents covered by secret, and on 17 February, at the disposal of the Court of Rome, they performed a second precautionary measure also under a second character involved in the affair.
The two subjects, from December 2021, on commission of other persons involved, would be used to acquire information about a possible start of technical activities towards the latter.
The investigation had also brought out co-interests with a character affected by drug trafficking crimes, as well as linked by kinship constraints with a member of the CASAMONICA family.
On the Roman coast the modus operandi of the traditional Mafia associations has long been emulated by the FASCIANI38 and SPADA, whose influence on the territory has emerged in important and articulated judicial police operations.
In particular already the investigation called "New alba"39 had culminated in July 2013 in aruling of precautionary custody charged to 51 subjects considered responsible, in various ways, of crimes in the matter of usury, international traffic of narcotics (finalized to the management of squares of dwellings displaced not only on the coast of Ostia), extortions in damage of traders
The illicit conduct has also been deemed to be ascribable to contexts of real mafia-type criminal association, resulting in a strategic ultra-ventennial division of business and interests between the two Aegean groups in that area, the FASCIANI and the TRIASSI (the latter established in Lazio as a projection of the CUNTRERA-CARUANA family)40.

Half-yearly report TO PARLIAMENT Another 16 arrests in the same criminal field were subsequently operated by the Guardia di Finanza in March 2014 at the conclusion of the operation "Tramonto", for the hypotheses, among other things, of association to mafia-type criminals and fraudulent transfer of goods41.
At the end of a complicated process iter42, the Supreme Court in November 2019, in rejecting the appeals of 10 of the 12 defendants, had confirmed the Appello bis judgment, crystallizing the mafia matrix of the FASCIANI clan.
In the close synergy between the latter association and the SPADA clan are also to frame a series of intimidation, fires and damages, in particular in the period 2011-2015, aimed at a reassesssment of the criminal hierarchy on the Roman coast.
In April 2016 the Carabinieri has performed a ruling of precautionary custody43 issued by the Court of Rome against 10 inquiries belonging to the SPADA clan in the field of the operation "Sub urbe", documenting numerous episodes of extortion and threat on the territory of Ostia aggravated by the mafia method, and confirming in this way the criminal "
Nel corso della successiva operazione "Eclissi"44, Arma dei carabinieri e Polizia di Stato, coordinate dalla DDA di Roma, davano esecuzione a un'ordinanza di custodia cautelare nei confronti di 32 soggetti ritenuti responsabili, a vario titolo, di associazione di tipo mafioso, omicidio, lesioni personali aggravate e illecita detenzione di arma da sparo, estorsione aggravata dalle modalità mafiose, danneggiamento a mezzo incendio, usura, intestazione fittizia di beni, traffico e detenzione illecita di stupefacenti.
Investigative activity had greatly weakened the operational capacity of the sodalitium, involving leaders, promoters and gregari, allowing also to trace back to authors and warrants of a double murder consumed in November 2011, aimed at affirming territorial supremacy on a rival criminal compas of the SPADA.
As a result of the investigations, the conditioning, management and control of many commercial activities emerged and therefore the preventive seizure of several assets was also placed for a total value of approximately 1, 5 million euros.
The Court of Cassation 13 gennaio 2022 recognised the mafia-type criminal association for the SPADA clan and inflicted heavy convictions against leading members of the Sodalicy.
Also well known are the threats and aggressions to journalists in the regular conduct of their professional activity (spiccano the episodes of 2013 and 2017 for the particular gravity and the consequent media emphasis), what ever significant of the Mafia subculture widespread in this criminal field.
These connotations are also accompanied by "entrepreneurship" profiles, projected to control economic activities, concessions, authorizations, contracts and public services, connected primarily to bathing activities on the Roman coast.
The activity carried out had also led to the seizure of ten commercial activities, bringing out the interests of the clan in the local economic fabric and in the management of bathing establishments.

Matrix Matrix In the context of patrimonial aggression, it is reported that, in January 2018, the DIA of Rome has carried out a confiscation of goods, for a value of approximately 30 million euros, against 5 subjects of origin belonging to a criminal organisation dedicated to thefts in apartments and, therefore, subjected to special surveillance of public safety45.
Moreover, from the patrimonial investigations resulting from the two complex investigations mentioned above, "Sub urbe" and "Eclissi", in May 2020 the Guardia di Finanza in the within of the operation called "Apogeo" confiscated real estate and corporate relationships for an amount of more than 10 million euros attributable to the branch of the SPADA, whose financial availability was able to significantly alter the management of the business sector.
The decree of confiscation, laid down by the Court of Rome, originated from the manifest disproportion between the declared income and the relevant investments in commercial activities, also implemented through the appeal to "prestanome" compliants to disassemble the actual ownership of the encumbrance46.
The confiscation became definitive because of the judgment Supreme Court of Cassation47 of 13 luglio 2022.
Another important confisca48 performed by the Guardia di Finanza, in the context of the operation "Ultima Spiaggia", has had to object companies and real estate for a value of more than 400 million euros, following the co-interests emerged between business activities related to a subject49 and the secretaries of Ostia FASCIANI and SPADA.
An autochthonous compagine particularly active in the territory of Latina and of the lower Lazio is that of the well-known DI SILVIO, whose hegemony in that area is rarely implemented through opportunistic forms of collaboration both with subjects attributable to the traditional mafia consorteries and with multiethnic organizations.
The Province of Latina, in fact, close to the Capital and not far from the provinces of Naples and Caserta, as well as being characterized by vast logistically strategic areas for the different needs of criminal groups, presents remarkable investment opportunities thanks to the many potential of the territory and profiles of strong economic expansion.
Not by chance traditional Mafia organizations have paid particular attention to these areas, such as demonstrated by the purchase, dating back to the late 1980s, by the Casalesi clan of land in Borgo Montello.
However, it seems far away from the time when the crime of the Bell Matrix attempted to impose itself in order to expand its range of action towards the indigenous groups.
Decree n. 1/2018 (2/2017 MP) issued by the Tribunal of Rome – Section Measures of Prevention, at the request of the Director of the DIA performed the 8 gennaio 2018.
This has included, among other things, 6 sports associations, 19 companies and 2 individual companies, and commercial activities operating in various sectors (suppliers, bars, game rooms, road distributors of fuels, gyms and dance schools, construction companies and car dealers), as well as vehicles and financial availability on bank and postal accounts.
The judgment of the Supreme Court definitively made the decree of confiscation n. 154/18 and 42/2020, issued by the Court of Rome – Sez. MP, confirmed by the local Court of Appeal, subject to the assets, directly or indirectly, to five top members of the SPADA clan Ostia.
These assets had already been subjected to seizure in October 2018 and the subject of confiscation of I degree and II degree respectively in January 2020 and September 2021. The definitive confiscation has had to object almost all of the goods previously "winned" at the top of the SPADA clan.
Decree of confiscation of the Court of Rome - Sez. MP n.201/2018, the 16 luglio 2021 definitively became the 16 luglio 2021 following the decision of the Court of Cassation. Prevention procedure n.145/16 established at the Public Prosecutor's Office in Rome - DDA.

Half-yearly report TO PARLIAMENT The local consortia, emulating the modus operandi of the traditional mafia associations, have for years acquired a marked autonomy in the management of illicit activities, and the relationship with the extraregional projections of the more structured organizations is now based on a quasi- paritarian plan and mutual recognition.
The more accentuated quality leap in the criminal thickness is seen in the SILVIO clan.
In particular, judicial evidence has despised as such a partnership, established in the province since the 1950s, has succeeded in imposing itself on the territory operating a control similar to that of traditional mafias in their respective territories of origin.
The SILVIO criminal group, whose leaders were made up of the family leader and his close family, highlighted a pyramidal structure linked to kinship and collaboration with local prejudices, which were sometimes also coming from rival groups.
On the basis of important investigative findings aimed at reconstructing the various illicit activities and the recurring intimidating methods of the SILVIO-TRAVALI group, the operations "Alba Pontina" and "Alba Pontina 2"50 had allowed to contest the investigations the typical methods of the mafia action.
At the end of the year 2019 other important contrast actions were completed in this context.
In October 2019, in fact, the Carabinieri Army, in the field of investigative activity called "Cerbero", had documented several extortive conducts aggravated by the mafia method, which had been established by 6 subjects considered affiliated to the SILVIO clan, which had succeeded in asserting the force of intimidation also within the penitentiary institutions, forcing other victims,
L'indagine immediatamente successiva denominata "Masterchef", del novembre 2019, condotta dai Carabinieri in collaborazione con la Polizia Penitenziaria, ha portato all'individuazione del canale di approvvigionamento attraverso cui venivano introdotti nella casa circondariale di Latina sostanze stupefacenti; nel dicembre successivo, con l'operazione "Scudo" l'Arma dei carabinieri dava esecuzione a un'OCC emessa dal Tribunale di Latina a carico di 8 soggetti, indagati a vario titolo per detenzione ai fini di spaccio di stupefacenti, estorsione ed usura51.
The 29 gennaio 2020, the Polizia di Stato has dismantled a criminal organization consisting of 5 people, 3 of which are related to the DIC clan SILVIO, dedicated to extortion, with the aggravated mafioso method52.
These partnerships have, therefore, recorded in the years a remarkable increase in their criminal fame and potential intimidation, as a direct consequence of numerous episodes of violence repeated over time and control acquired in the various illicit activities of the Pontine province.
Pestaggi, ferimenti, murders consumed and attempted, also due to internal feuds and complicated dynamics with defections of prominent characters from a group in favor of rival formation, have marked this progressive rooting of criminal realities which, however opposed, present as common occurrence the name of the

2. Matrix Matrix SILVIO.
Si fa riferimento, a titolo esemplificativo, a quanto emerso nell'ambito dell'articolata inchiesta convenzionalmente denominata "Don't touch"53, che aveva portato all'indebolimento dei DI SILVIO-TRAVALI, immediatamente seguito dal tentativo di affermazione di un'altra consorteria in contrasto con la precedente (sempre gravitante intorno a esponenti di un diverso ramo dei DI SILVIO) nell'incessante lotta per il controllo di attività illecite altamente remunerative quali traffico di stupefacenti, usura, estorsioni, indebite interferenze nell'assegnazione degli appalti e riciclaggio, quest'ultimo agevolato anche da altri reati finanziari e da sistematiche intestazioni fittizie di beni e società.
Nel ripercorrere i principali esiti processuali fondati sul quadro probatorio raccolto nel corso dell'operazione "Alba pontina", risulta quanto mai significativa la sentenza emessa dal Tribunale di Roma il 19 luglio 2019, che ha definito il clan DI SILVIO quale "associazione di stampo mafioso di nuova formazione, territorialmente insediata a Latina, di dimensioni per lo più familiari, la cui forza di intimidazione deriva dalla fama criminale raggiunta dal clan nel sud del Lazio, ancorché si manifesti incessantemente con le tradizionali forme di violenza e minaccia, così assoggettando la popolazione locale alle regole prevaricatrici della cosca".
In the motivations of the judgment it is evidenced that the investigation activities allowed to reconstruct the organization of the group DI SILVIO, and above all "to attribute the character of 'mafiacity', thus revising the associative case referred to in the art. 416 bis c.p.
It is a clan structured on a territorial basis (Campo Boario in Latina), protagonist of the broadest criminal context of the well-known Roma DI SILVIO and CIARELLI families, who have over time asserted their criminal prestige in the fields of the usury, the extortion, the detention of weapons and the traffic of drugs in the territory of Latina"54.
In January 2021, the Court of Appeal of Rome, in confirming the total convictions to 50 years of imprisonment for the 9 defendants, reiterated "the mafia identity of the Di Silvio group", as a result of the criminal thickness acquired over time and the related conditions of subjection and omerity diffused in the socio-economic context of the papal province.
Of particular importance also the subsequent operation "Reset"55, conducted by the Polizia di Stato, which had ended with the execution of an OCC issued by the Court of Rome at the expense of 19 people, investigated for various reasons for association to criminals aimed at traffic of drugs, numerous episodes of extortion and a murder, aggravated ex art.

La complessa attività svolta, che sul piano strettamente investigativo rappresenta la naturale prosecuzione della citata operazione "Don't touch", ha consentito di risalire all'operatività di un'organizzazione a struttura prevalentemente familistica, che nel tempo aveva acquisito un crescente prestigio criminale nei settori dell'usura, dell'estorsione, dello spaccio di stupefacenti, avvalendosi del metodo mafioso e della forza di intimidazione derivante del vincolo associativo.

The two criminal organizations dedicated to drug trafficking and operating in the papal province on the basis of a peaceful distribution of the territory, were subsequently passed to a phase of strong opposition.
Moreover, the judicial excursus purchased in the judgment "is even more significant in the view of the criminal rise of the SILVIO clan, if you move your gaze on the intimidating power actually perceived by the Latin community (but also by the same criminals of the territory) subjected by the hegemony of the association, which, as decided in the context of this criminal procedure, is undoubtedly mafia".

Half-yearly report AT PARLIAMENT attribution of tasks and the ability to supply also squares of the province, such as Cisterna di Latina, Sezze and Aprilia.
In the context of new investigations, intimidating acts had emerged with violent methods to extrude some pushers from the drug market in Latina, as demonstrated by the gambling of a drug dealer and several incidents of damage to acquire control of local drug activities.
The omerity of the victims was guaranteed by the criminal fame deriving from the membership of the association belonging to the DI SILVIO and the TRAVALI and the rather widespread subjection on the territory of Latina56.
Anche in tale contesto delinquenziale sono state riscontrate le connotazioni tipiche dell'agire mafioso, come riportato nell'ordinanza applicativa di misure cautelari57: "È possibile oggi affermare che detta associazione, pur contestata all'epoca come associazione ordinaria ex art.
416 c.p., has worked with the typical method of the mafia consorteries, availing itself of the force of intimidation deriving from being a clan hegemon of undisputed criminal fame on the Pontine territory, strong of its composition by subjects with very high criminal thickness".
Among the autochthonous criminal formations there are also others that, although they have not yet found confirmation in definitive judgments on the legal qualification of mafia associations, are nevertheless able to exercise an intimidating force similar to that of the most structured consortia.
In this context the group GAMBACURTA, well known in the Roman district of Montespaccato, especially for the traffics related to the management of local squares and those of the neighboring districts of Boccea and Aurelia.
The 19 luglio 2022 the Court of Appeal of Rome has confirmed many of the convictions inflicted in the first instance in May 202158 to members and managers of the Sodalitium, including 3 summit characters or, in any case, considered prominent elements, sentenced to 30 years, 18 years and 13 years and 9 months of recruitment.
Estorsioni, traffico di sostanze stupefacenti, usura, riciclaggio e intestazione fittizia di beni, con la ricorrenza dell'aggravante del metodo mafioso, risultano fra le principali attività illecite emerse nel corso dell'indagine, che aveva altresì acclarato una rete di collegamenti con personaggi apicali di 'ndrangheta, camorra e di altre consorterie locali.
The sodalizio dei SENESE is characterized, instead, for an original camoristic matrix combined with a consolidated organizational structure borrowed from the autochthons, representing one of the clearest expressions of the fusion and the point of balance reached on the Lazio territory with the criminal models typical of the territories of origin.
The interests of the SENESE are mainly found in the areas Tuscolana, Cinecittà, Centocelle and Quadraro, as well as in some areas of the old town.
Even support for a murderous action dating back to 2014, matured in a different context, would have had the purpose of showing outside the criminal force of the reference group. An exponent of the Sodalitius would have provided the weapons and participated in the phase of the abduction of the victim.

It is also evident that the extortions were implemented "in a serial way, with almost daily cadence, going to hit citizens and entrepreneurs, which it was enough to know the membership or proximity of the extortors to the SILVIO-TRAVALI group to subject themselves to the intimidating demands", and that in order to manifest its intimidation force "often it was not necessary to resort to violence since the social consciousness of the caring of its criminal thickness".
Over 40 convictions. It is remembered that 58 arrests had already been carried out during the operation "Hampa-Malavita" of June 2018 conducted by the Carabinieri and coordinated by the DDA of Rome.
