(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 30 - Police in Rome found and seized an
arsenal on Thursday night containing a dozen pistols and a rifle
as part of an investigation into recent murders in the capital.
One man, an Italian, was arrested.
The operation took place in Pietralata in northeast Rome.
The seizure relates to a probe into four murders in the capital
in just over a month that are thought to be connected to a drug
turf war.
Most recently, on Sunday night Andrea Fiore, a 54-year-old Roman
with a long criminal record, was hit in the chest by two shots
in his home at Torpignattara in the east of the Italian capital.
Investigators say he was a close friend of Luigi Finizio, a
Roman with links to the Neapolitan Camorra mafia who was shot
dead by two men on a scooter at a petrol station in the same
area on March 13.
The other murders, on March 10, and February 22, concerned a
Neapolitan and a Romanian. (ANSA).
