Police officers from the Appio police station found a severed finger in a cellophane bag, a blood-stained cleaver, 3 pistols, a 12-caliber rifle and a machine gun in a guest room in the capital. The bed and breakfast at the start of the Appian Way, where the discovery took place, was in use – he writes the messenger – as a hiding place and storage area for weapons and drugs from the network of dealers linked to the so-called “torture gang”. Those who were arrested a few days ago for inciting the murder of bodywork worker Andrea Fiore. And the kneeling last year of Alex Corelli and Simone Daranghi. Marzia De Lumé tells the story, having previously been arrested as the guard of an arsenal of the same gang and initially determined to collaborate with justice.
An exemplary punishment
The finger, according to the tape cited by the Roman newspaper, belongs “to a young man deserving exemplary punishment.” And so that what happened to him would be a warning to others. » The collaborator told investigators that she was terrified “because they shot and they really did it.” These statements were also confirmed by Daniele Viti, already in prison as the material executor of Fiore's crime: “The method consisted of taking a subject, kidnapping him and torturing him without scruples,” the report reads. This is what happened, the newspaper recalls, to Samiro Jarabi from whom the torture gang wanted to extrapolate information about Mirko Carbone, who disappeared after accumulating a debt of 80 thousand euros. Jarabi was indeed kidnapped from his home and taken to the countryside.
Shooting
There, one of the leaders (Giacomo Daranghi known as “the uncle”) gave the order to cut off his finger. But the boy cried, saying he would rather be shot than mutilated. The punitive expedition was then filmed via video call. The gang ran a drug trafficking network between Tuscolano and Montespaccato: drivers delivered the hashish, trusted couriers took care of importing the narcotic.
