In recent days there have been multiple attacks in Rome by individuals in black microcars, with victims hit by blunt objects. The investigations of the Rome Prosecutor's Office link these episodes in a possible criminal scheme.
The conditions of Davide Iacopini, the actor attacked on October 5 while he was on a scooter in a street in the Monteverde Vecchio district of Rome, remain serious. The 42-year-old, who suffered a deep head injury after falling due to a kick from the passenger of a minicar in via Barrili, is facing the post-operative course after a delicate neurosurgery operation carried out by a team from the San Camillo hospital. Iacopini is undergoing intensive monitoring and therapeutic support, and the prognosis is still strictly confidential. The family members ask for maximum respect for privacy and are awaiting answers from the investigation launched by the Capitoline Prosecutor's Office in which they are being prosecuted for attempted murder. Meanwhile, the cases rise to six, all of which occurred between Sunday and Monday.
A 67-year-old man reported to the police at the Rome Monteverde Nuovo station that he was approached in the late evening of October 4, while walking along Viale dei Quattro Venti, by a black microcar with two people on board. "The passenger hit me in the side with a plastic pipe", said the sixty-year-old who was near his home. A summit was held in Piazzale Clodio in which the holder of the file, the prosecutor Ambrogio Cassiani, the carabinieri and the local police who were entrusted with the investigations took part. A meeting during which we essentially took stock of the intense activity carried out in recent days. A complex job that essentially travels on two tracks: analysis of all the cameras present in the area, checks are also underway in the Testaccio area, and feedback on the stories provided by the other victims of the gang. The investigators are trying to reconstruct the route of the car, also trying to get the license plate of the vehicle, which perhaps gravitated for hours in the area in search of "prey to strike coldly". A sort of patrol that also touched the streets around the Janiculum - one of the victims was hit in Via di Porta San Pancrazio - and then perhaps reached the Testaccio area and Viale Trastevere. The story provided by the sister of a French boy who was apparently hit in the head by a "black car" while passing over the Testaccio bridge, as the crow flies not far from the attack on Iacopino, is not present in the documents. The boy, who left for Paris without filing a complaint, said he had seen a boy with blond crew cut hair. However, at the moment there is no identikit in the Prosecutor's Office, but there is almost certainty that the two are minors.
