“Rocca is linked to the drug trafficking clan in Ostia and has ties to the mafia”: the incredible accusation of dem Battisti

“Francis Rocca he is not a boy who had a moment of fragility when his mother was ill: Francesco Rocca is linked to the Ostia clan that manages drug trafficking and for this reason it has deep ties with these mafia and illegal networks that we fought on the Roman coast”.

Words from Sara Battisti, outgoing regional councilor of the Democratic Party and new candidate for Frosinone. The dem exponent yesterday from Ciociaria thus attacked Rocca, aspiring governor of the center-right. A violent lunge (without evidence) that will certainly bring controversy six days after the vote. He made very serious accusations, not corroborated by the facts, against the outgoing president of the Italian Red Cross.

Sara Battisti leapt into the national news last summer: she is Albino Ruberti’s partner, at the time chief of staff of the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, who had to resign after the publication of a video on the Foglio website. Outside a local Ruberti, in the company of Sara Battisti, quarreled with a group of members of the local Democratic Party shouting at them “kneel or I’ll shoot you”.
