"He had tape over his mouth, he was in a chair, they put needles in his nails and he was screaming, he was complaining, but he couldn't scream out loud because his mouth was closed... but I saw a little, because I said to him: 'listen, don't tell me these things'... He was a great gentleman, they were torturing him....".

Fabrizio Capogna, 39 years old, is cooperating with the prosecutor's office in Rome in the investigation of cocaine trafficking between Albanians and Leandro Bennato, accused of murdering former Lazio captain, "Diabolic".

The penitent knows the mechanisms of the so-called "Roman Gomorrah", which was once dominated by Albanians, the formation of groups, the constant clashes and the rules of the game. And he decided to tell them to the Rome Prosecutor's Office.

The riot caused by a criminal with a very long militancy gives more than any other assessment the extent of the brutality of the scene shown to him on the mobile phone by an associate of the boss Leandro Bennato, who had sent him: "They stole my cocaine... I don't know what to do, listen now and you, get information... if they offer you these packages... this was drugs...".

107 kilograms of cocaine

A necessary summary. The person who was subjected to torture is 71-year-old Gualtiero Giombini, who "kept" 107 kilograms of cocaine on behalf of Bennato.

His drugs are stolen and Giombini is kidnapped by traffickers to make him reveal who the perpetrators of the theft are: beaten, tortured with needles, kept naked in the winter in a damp basement, he dies of pneumonia last December 8.

The prosecution hypothesizes that the death is a consequence of other crimes for which Bennato and his men are already under accusation.

In this reconstruction, the cooperation of Fabrizio Capognas, 39, an intermediate figure in the Romanian criminal hierarchies, a link between traffickers and distributors, in business with the Chinese mafia and an old friend of Bennato, who was also suspected of the murder of Fabrizio Piscitelli, the so-called "Diabolic" and today repentant after his arrest.

In the first of his three questions, partially overlooked, he tells prosecutors Francesco Cascini and Giovanni Musarò about the dynamics and alliances between the capital's drug gangs.

Criminal relations

"I met Bennato in the clinic for people addicted to drugs in 2010, I met him in prison in 2013 and I saw him again in the bar "la coltellata" in San Basilio, a narco-trafficking square where I sold drugs several times.

Campogna gets his supplies from the Albanian Loli ("he buys in Belgium and the Netherlands, unloads 80-100 kilos a week and doesn't ask for an advance"), but Bennato, with his partner, Giuseppe Molisso, a major name in the Camorra organization, tries to impose his goods: They told me: "What are your prices? What stamp do you have (the well-known mark on cocaine packages)? Why do you prefer Albanian goods? Give us a hand, take 50 kilos."

For Capogna, however, it's only a matter of economic comfort: "he wanted to be a little overbearing... from there they start to give him problems...".

I "get over it", taking revenge

In a meeting to give 20 kilograms of drugs for 360 thousand euros, he ends up in trouble: "There was one with a gun and one with an Ak47. They only give me half, in practice they rob me to take revenge on Loli, who had done him "a reng", that is, he had stolen a customer.

"But what do I have to do with him? You're making me lose my dignity, I'm a good guy, I don't do certain things." And they: "We don't have it with you, but with that piece of shit, otherwise we would have taken the watch." I had a "Daytona" on my wrist, a "Tennis" with diamonds...".

Bennato, Molisso and the Albanians

Overcoming the "misunderstanding", Molisso and Bennato go into business with Lolli and other Albanians, the powerful "Aldo and Renato", from whom they buy the goods that they then steal.

Bennato fears the revenge of the Albanians and kidnaps Giombini: "Now you see that they will kill me, because 107 kilograms is two million euros. How do I return them?".

To make sure that he understood, the prosecutor asks: "Weren't they friends?" When there are two million euros in between, the friendship ends if I am not paid"./ Corriere della Sera
