Prosecutors in Rome on Monday requested Italy’s tough ’41-bis’ maximum security prison regime for Massimo Carminati, an Italian mob figure and former right-wing terrorist who is the alleged ringleader of a Rome-based crime syndicate involving politicians, businessmen, and civil servants., reports Ansa News
