Rome, Roma, and Threats

Rome, Roma, and Threats

Last October, two villas illegally built by a family involved in various criminal activities were destroyed in Via Arzachena, in the Rocca Cencia area of greater Rome.

Now, Rome’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri is being threatened on social media: A young man in a black overall holding a submachine gun: “This is for you, Mayor, and for your family. Just as you’ve already destroyed our house, I’ll destroy yours; time will tell. The State doesn’t scare me.”

The threats on social media against Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, along with the Facebook post since deleted, were made by Silvio Hilicic, nicknamed “Silvio Silvietto,” a member of the Komarov-Hilicic family.

The Italian press qualifies them as Sinti, which seems dubious.
