The girl’s family, which has often raised questions about the Nigerian mafia, also in correlation with the girl’s story, which, however, have not, at least at the moment, found any evidence in court, now reads in the words of the former commissioner a confirmation to “those who have always been our suspicions” on the possible presence of the Nigerian mafia in the Marche city. “Well, it is impossible to think that a policeman of his experience and ability, recognized, however, also in the Macerata herself, has used (and repeated) this term (mafia, with specific reference to the Nigerian one) with approximation and ease, also in consideration of the context in which everything took place (think of the topic addressed, referred to above, and of the audience to which everything was addressed, composed of jurists) and not, instead, with the specific intent of denouncing that in the aforementioned city there was precisely the Nigerian mafia, with all the requisites and characteristics, therefore, to be recognized in this criminal reality “, underlines the girl’s family. “Confirming, in essence, those who have always been our suspicions, supported by elements which we have not always, and not all, wanted to listen to”, observes the Verni-Mastropietro family, recalling that “for a long time, when tried (us in the first place) to bring attention to the possible existence of this criminal phenomenon also in the capital of the Marche region and in the Marche, also in correlation with the author of the tragic and demonic facts perpetrated to the detriment of Pamela that cursed 30 January 2018 (beyond that with his fellow countrymen, who entered in various capacities in the relative investigations), a lot of resistance was encountered, often resulting in absolute denial on the part of someone “.” Then, after a long time, these words arouse curiosity which, for on the other hand, they are also worrying: what is expressed is serious, from the existence of the Nigerian mafia itself, to the threats suffered by the policeman in question (to whom, in one juncture, we also had the opportunity to manifest stay our solidarity), related, among other things, and in no uncertain terms, to the murder of Pamela, to the state in which Macerata was reduced at the time of the annus horribilis, to the feared political (as well as social and cultural) pressures which it also refers to and that it would be interesting to know in detail, given that, certainly, what happened then touched strong interests “, continues Pamela’s family.” Words that for those who, even like us, voces clamantes in the desert, have always tried to put the spotlight on some issues, and is still waiting to receive many answers, they weigh like boulders and, if not already happened in due time, they should be worthy of an accurate and necessary study in the appropriate locations “, concludes the Verni family -Mastropietro asking “the lovers of denial how the family of Pamela Mastropietro should take all this while, to those in charge, to help us get some answers: and we do it, since we can talk about it. r always of the mafia, on the day in which the heroes who died in the Capaci massacre are commemorated, so that their memory does not risk being mere facade, but concrete action “.
