Antonio Casamonica, one of the
top members of the Roman crime family, on Monday got seven years
in jail for a raid on a bar on the outskirts of the Italian
capital last April 1.
He was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and private
violence aggravate by mafia methods.
The raid was also carried out by three members of the Di
Silvio clan, an allied crime family.
On October 15 the three Di Silvios received mafia convictions
for the raid.
Alfredo Di Silvio was sentenced to four years and 10 months;
his brother Vincenzo to four years and eight months; and the
grandfather, Enrico, got three years and two months.
The raid took place in the outlying Romanina district.
The bar owner and a young disabled woman were targeted.
Like the Casamonicas, the Di Silvios are a mafia-style gang
of Roma extraction.
Unlike the Di Silvios who opted for a fast-track trial,
Antonio Casamonica requested a full trial.
In beating the bar owner and the disabled woman, the four
allegedly said "we are the bosses here, it's all ours".
