Diego Rosmini

Diego Rosmini (born July 16, 1927 in Reggio Calabria), also known as Direttore, is an Italian criminal and a member of the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria. He was the boss of the Rosmini 'ndrina based in the city of Reggio Calabria.[1]

Second 'Ndrangheta war
Main article: Second 'Ndrangheta war

The Rosmini clan was a protagonist in the Second 'Ndrangheta war (1985–1991), which grouped all the 'ndrine in the city of Reggio Calabria into either one of two opposing factions: the Condello, Imerti, Serraino and Rosmini clans on one side, and the De Stefano 'ndrina, Tegano, Libri and Latella clans on the other.[2]

Arrest and convictions

He was arrested on December 4, 1990, and received a life sentence and an additional 15-year sentence for murder and Mafia association.[1] In 1998, he received a life sentence for ordering the killing in 1989 of the Christian Democrat politician Lodovico Ligato, former head of the Italian State Railways.[1] Ligato demanded a 10 percent bribe on public work contracts, jeopardizing agreements already reached among a so-called "business committee" of local politicians and 'Ndrangheta groups.[3] In March 2001, he received another life sentence.[4]

He is currently in jail. His nephew Diego Rosmini, known as junior (he was born in 1955), took over the leadership of the clan.[1]

gollark: Like FTL modding, as far as I know.
gollark: JSON is of course far superior.
