Tamara Ianni in Belve Crime: “A member of the Spada clan had come to my house with a HIV positive, to spit infected blood on my two -year -old son”

“Even more than courage”, It was “desperation” that pushed Tamara Ianni, a collaborator of justiceto speak, to violate that mafia code that imposes silence. Guest tonight of the first episode of Belve Crimeat 9.25 pm on Rai Due the deepening conducted by Francesca Fagnani, Tamara Ianni retraced her story: a story of violence, abuses, threats, insulation, culminating in a decisive choice.

In January 2018, Also thanks to his depositions, thirty -two members of the Spada clanincluding several leading exponents, have been arrested. A very hard blow for one of the most rooted criminal organizations in Ostia, fully considered a mafia structure: affiliated and in relations with other historical families such as Casamonica, it had been operating for years with absolute control on the Roman coast, including rackets, drugs, extortion, slot machines and abusive occupations.

Tamara Ianni, together with her husband, today lives under protection. She, of that system from which she must defend herself, had been part of: In fact, her husband belonged to the Baficchi clan, historical rivals of the swordsand he was the favorite nephew of Giuseppe Galleoni, known as Baficchio, a name known to investigators. Tamara and her husband were stuck in a family and territorial network that left no way out, but the price to pay became too high.

It is in the most intense minutes of the interview with Fagnani that the hardest details emerge. “What kind of violence has undergone in these years?” The journalist asks her. “A member of the Spada clan had come to my house with guns and knives, together with Mr. Pelè (Enrico Spada), HIV positive. He had placed blades in his mouth to spit infected blood on my son two years. To protect it, I put myself in the back. They filled me with a barrel. I took a barrel, they entered the house at night, they wanted to make me prostitute, they came with the guns. When they threatened my son, I didn’t make it anymore. I raised my head ».

That was the turning point. His statements were decisive to reconstruct the organization chart of the Spada clan and to obtain the sentences for mafia association. The process represented a clear fracture in the history of Roman crime. For the first time, the state was able to hit Ostia clans.

But revenge did not wait. In 2018, a few months after the arrest of the swords, an explosive device was placed on the balcony of the house where Tamara lived under protection. The bomb exploded, but did not cause victims. Intimidation was clear. His family was immediately transferred to another location. The gesture was severely condemned by the institutions: Virginia Raggi, then mayor of Rome, declared: “The state is with a denunciation. We will not leave these people alone ».

“How did you feel when they arrested them?” Fagnani asks her. “I tried happiness, euphoria. But also so much fear».
