Minicar gang in Rome, the mother of one of the two boys investigated for threats

The mother of one of the two boys who admitted to having been part of the so-called "minicar gang" which recently spread panic in some neighborhoods of Rome appears to be under investigation for aggravated threats. According to what was reported by the newspaper "Il Messaggero", in fact, everything arose from a comment published on social media against his son. The woman allegedly reacted with intimidating voice messages towards the person identified as the author of the post. Hence the victim's complaint, assisted by the lawyers Gian Maria and Pietro Nicotera, with the opening of the file at the Prosecutor's Office.

What happened

Again according to what has been reconstructed, therefore, the victim, who has known the mother of the young man involved in the gang for some time, had commented on social media on October 17th on an article that retraced the story of the two minors responsible for a series of violence and nocturnal raids that occurred between October 4th and 5th in the Monteverde and Testaccio neighborhoods. "Our client knows the woman personally and also knows where she lives. We have proceeded to provide all the documentation of both the messages published on social media and the vocal ones", reported the lawyers of the threatened person.

The story of the minicar

Meanwhile, investigations into the two boys involved in the attacks on board the minicar are continuing. The young people, aged 16 and 17, are under investigation by the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office for attempted murder, aggravated personal injury and battery. The story became known last October 7 when the news was spread that the actor Davide Iacopini had been hospitalized in serious conditions at the San Camillo hospital in Rome. The man had been hit two days earlier with a kick thrown by a person traveling on the passenger side of a minicar, in the Monteverde Vecchio neighborhood of Rome. The following day another woman presented herself to the police to report an attack that occurred in the same area around 11pm on Sunday 4 October. In the end, several cases of aggression emerged. The two, tracked down by the Carabinieri and interviewed in the barracks by the prosecutor of the Rome Prosecutor's Office, confessed and admitted the facts.
