unknown individuals affixed small posters promoting anti-Roma racism and fascism
These posters contained the following statements: “Basta rom a Mondragone per un paese migliore” ("No more Roma in Mondragone for a better country") and then again “Mondragone è fascista” ("Mondragone is fascist")
The ERRC has urgently requested the initiation of comprehensive investigations aimed at identifying those responsible for posting racist posters and bringing them to justice
preventing the escalation of further hate-motivated incidents
83% of Italians held unfavourable views on Roma
The decision responds to a complaint filed by Amnesty International and highlights issues of forced evictions
and lack of equal access to social housing for Roma
Hate speech and racially aggravated crimes against Roma in Italy have also been on the rise
has been allowed or even encouraged by government members
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has expressed serious concerns about this increase in intolerance
Additionally, Italy's political landscape has been marked by far-right interventions
with Minister Matteo Salvini's racist comments on imprisoned Romani mothers “using children and pregnancy to avoid prison and continue to commit crimes.” A bill to improve conditions for imprisoned mothers put forward by the Democratic Party was later withdrawn due to right-wing amendments
The election victory of Giorgia Meloni and the treatment of Italy's Romani population by the far-right
including mass evictions and destruction of camps
highlights the normalization of neo-fascism in 21st-century Europe
such as the TV program "Fuori dal Coro," perpetuates harmful stereotypes and incites hatred
Such portrayals violate principles of impartiality and equality and potentially exacerbate existing biases and discrimination
Real-life consequences of hate speech and incitement of hatred
The ERRC has called for an investigation into the death of a 6-year-old Romani girl
who died after being electrocuted by a loose wire at a camp in Naples
The ERRC's complaint highlights potential institutional responsibility for the lack of services and possible negligence within the segregated Romani camp
The ERRC has previously complained about the poor housing situation in the camp
including forced evictions and lack of access to essential services
Hasib Omerovic
a 36-year-old Romani man with hearing loss
fell into a coma after falling nine meters from his bedroom window during an unauthorised police raid
and the police provided no official information about the incident
The incident in Mondragone is a stark reminder of the deep-seated racism and intolerance that permeates Italian society
now exacerbated by a far-right government whose presence in Rome gives license to fascists to express their hatred without challenge
It is not enough to condemn these actions; perpetrators must be held accountable
with anti-Roma racism and structural discrimination against Romani people being a human rights issue throughout Europe; one that stands at a precipice with looming far-right gains in elections across the continent
It is high time to acknowledge and address the systemic
structured nature of racism and discrimination faced by the Romani communities in every field of life
The fight against anti-Roma racism is increasingly an antifascist action in Europe – a fight for human rights

While most people associate Aberdeen for its locally quarried grey granite
or being the oil capital of Europe- the city's ties to a brutal Mafia clan are not as well known
The brutal Camorra group made the Granite City a Northern European stronghold far from it's native Naples
even leading to a EU crime report identifying Aberdeen in 2018
So important a base was Aberdeen that Antonio La Torre
the Italian mafia boss and brother of former clan chief Augusto
moved to the Granite City in the early eighties
Gillian Fraser - an oil industry worker who was born in Edinburgh
The couple married in 1982 and shortly after found themselves calling Aberdeen their new home by 1984
Having the persona of a seemingly respectable businessman, people in Aberdeen had no reason to believe otherwise
The families living situation didn't stand to be anything out of the normal
They lived above a butchers shop in a first floor tenement flat in Rosemount
in Antonio's birthplace of Mondragone - a town just a short distance from the northwest of Naples
the La Torre clan had an exceedingly different reputation
It comes as no shock that Antonio wasn't keen on sharing the details of his criminal corporation to anyone he met in the north-east
the La Torre family were known as an elite Camorra dynasty
The mob ignited fear and commanded respect
were responsible for countless murders and grafted a daily regime of extortion
Antonio – later dubbed the “Don On the Don” by the Scottish press
after the river that flows through Aberdeen
was none other than one of the gangs irrefutable bosses alongside his younger brother Augusto
prepared his two sons for a life in the gangland of horrific crime
From 1970, the city of Aberdeen became the oil capital of Europe after the vast discovery of oil deposits found in the North Sea
The Granite City was Antonio's for the taking
The mafia don opened up two restaurants in the heart of the city - Pavarotti's located on Union Terrace
La Torre appeared to have it all, having a black hand in their organised family crime and two legitimate businesses to launder money from in Aberdeen
back in Italy and racking in over £200,00 a month from the gangs numerous criminal activities
and Antonio at the ready here in Scotland to cover their tracks
the Italian mafia clan seemed to have had quite a skillful organisation running across the seas
the Mafia boss' world came crashing down in 1996 after he found himself arrested in Amsterdam on decade-old Mafia association charges from his home country
After serving half of a two-and-a-half-year sentence in an Italian prison, Antonio returned to Scotland. Not ready to throw the towel in on his criminal organisation
the mob spoke in code to resume all activity after the police intercepted their phone calls
Money was "sausages" and large-scale banking transactions were "movements"
Antonio was sentenced to 13 years in prison for crimes including robbery
extortion and the production of counterfeit money
he was found hiding in a friend’s flat in Aberdeen and sent back to Italy to serve his time
He and his wife Gillian are since divorced and no longer remain in contact
The La Torre family are long gone but the people of Aberdeen are reminded to 'keep your friends close
but your enemies closer' as Michael Corleone would say

The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has issued an edict banning residents from dying
The cemetery of Falciano dal Massico cannot accommodate any more bodies
have to travel several kilometres down the road to attend a funeral or to be buried
We have to end up either in nearby Mondragone or in Capo Tignano," pensioner Giuseppe di Fusco told Reuters
"And if you go to Mondragone you have to pay more
because the Camorra mafia wants money to get you a place in Mondragone," his friend said
mayor Giulio Cesare Fava has issued a challenging ordinance
"It is forbidden to cross the border of earthly life," the ordinance reads
to all citizens resident in the municipality of Falciano del Massico
to cross the border of earthly life and to enter the afterlife."
The mayor explained to the BBC that he had called on citizens to make every effort not to die until a new cemetery is built for the municipality
"People have realised that it's been a challenge because we don't have power to limit death
only our Lord has it," said Don Valentino Simoniello
Two elderly residents were reported to have "defied" the decree so far
