BANDA DELLA MAGLIANA 1977: 16 ANNI — chi teneva in ostaggio Roma?

From the ransom of one and a half billion lire in 1977 to the forty arrests of Operation Colosseum in 1993: sixteen years in which the Magliana Gang held Rome hostage. The darkest criminal history of the Italian capital. In this three-part documentary, we reconstruct everything: the origins in the working-class neighborhoods of Trastevere, Testaccio, and Magliana; the ties to Cosa Nostra and boss Pippo Calò; the connections with the NAR (National Anti-Mafia Group) and the deviant secret service SISMI; and Licio Gelli's P2 Masonic lodge. And then the unsolved mysteries: God's Banker hanged in London; the death of Enrico De Pedis, known as Renatino, on Via del Pellegrino on February 2, 1990; and, above all, the case that still remains unanswered: the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi on June 22, 1983. A fifteen-year-old girl. A Vatican citizen. A music student in the Palazzo di Sant'Apollinare. Missing and never found. And a mafia boss buried in the crypt of the same basilica. What did Renatino know? What favor had he done for Cardinal Poletti? Why did the Vatican take forty years to formally reopen the investigation? #bandadellamagliana #emanuelaorlandi #crimineitaliano 00:00 Introduction — Rome in the 1970s and the origins of the gang 00:15 Cold Open 26:00 Chapter 2 — Power and Mysteries (1981-1990) 52:00 Chapter 3 — From Orlandi to Today: Forty Years Without Answers
