Elvis Demça's name appears wherever there is fire, violence and crime...
A homemade explosive device, ready to explode, was left just a few meters from the apartment of Elvis Demça's family. It is not just a threat. It is a clear message: the ceasefire, if it ever existed, is over. The war between the criminal groups of the new Roman mafia is no longer silent. It no longer knows any rules, not even the unwritten ones. Because that bomb was placed at the heart of the private life of the Albanian boss, who is currently imprisoned in Ascoli. Exactly where his children live.
The incident took place on July 15, the day after the Carabinieri Investigation Unit operation that revealed a new front: from prison, Demçe was giving orders for kidnappings in order to obtain information on a former partner turned rival, Fabrizio Fabietti. To accomplish this, he relied on a mixed group of Latin Americans and Albanians, the same ones who on May 11, 2024, attempted to assassinate the traffic boss in the Tor Bella Monaca area, Giancarlo Tei, a place where surnames are worth more than identity numbers.
After this assassination, drug distribution points in the city were inflamed by tensions. Two months later, a bomb exploded in an apartment in Borghesiana, where a Tunisian convict with links to Albanian groups lived.
We are facing an old clash between the remnants of the Ponte Milvio criminal group, a group previously led by Fabrizio Piscitelli, known as "Diabolik", killed with a bullet to the head on August 7, 2019, in broad daylight, in Rome's Aqueduct Park.
Since that day, the crime map in Rome has become fluid, unpredictable. The boundaries between alliances and betrayals have disappeared. The daily chronicles tell the rest of the story: clashes, gunfire, assassination attempts, explosives. Rome is burning on the ashes of a criminal peace that was never really signed.
Initially, the news about the investigations into Demçe and his orders from prison were published. Only a day later, the bomb exploded, thrown in front of the apartment gate, with a fuse that fortunately did not work as it should. It was Demçe's wife who found it. The Antimafia Prosecutor's Office is following the situation quietly, but with great attention. Because in Rome, coincidences are rarely really like that. And because deciphering the schemes of organized crime has become increasingly complicated.
Demçe has more than one enemy, as many as the plans he has built. “I have built a film that you will only understand when everything happens... everything is ready, only they do not know it yet,” he once said. Prosecutors suspect that he was referring to another war: the one with Giuseppe Molisso, an important figure in the Michele Senese clan. But Demçe does not seem to be afraid. “What uncle Michele... who the hell has ever seen him...,” he wrote in an intercepted conversation. However, he does not recognize this conversation as his own. In several letters sent to the editorial office, he has denied any responsibility or conflict with “Mr. Michele Senese.”
The list of enemies does not end with Molisso. It also includes Leandro Bennato and Ermal Arapaj, also this Albanian, today an enemy of Demça. A few years ago, they clashed for control of drug points, with bombs and weapons. Then came the arrests. But now, the fire is reigniting the old flames under the ashes.
Elvis Demçe's name comes up wherever there is fire, violence and domination. There are victims of kidnappings, relatives of the missing, and friends of the murdered. Like Francesco Vitale, a DJ from Bari, who jumped from the balcony of a building in Magliana while trying to escape a kidnapping. Officially, Demçe has no connection to the event. But on the streets, among the clans, the truth is different. And it spreads faster than the evidence.
And finally, another name is mentioned, quietly, but increasingly often: Giancarlo Tei. The undisputed head of one of the most profitable trafficking points in Tor Bella Monaca. A bridging figure between the Calabrian clans and the Albanians of Ponte Milvio, where Demçe once belonged. Suspicions abound. The same people who a year ago tried to kill Tei, today appear to be involved in kidnappings, under the orders of the Albanian boss.
Justice needs evidence. On the street, a whispered name is enough. A broken alliance. A bomb in front of the house./ La Repubblica
