The underworld that trades and makes money from drugs knew Rosario D’Onofriothe man at the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in The Hague since 2021, the magistrate who should have investigated any irregularities committed by the arbitrators, with the iconic nickname of “Rambo”🇧🇷 If there was a need to use the “iron” – the gun, as they say in criminal jargon – he knew what to do. If there was an obstacle or someone who got in the way, he would have thought to resolve the situation with good or bad manners, also resorting to persuasive methods as quick as they were severe.
Investigations by the Milan District Anti-Mafia Directorate led him, aged 42, to an ex-soldier (suspended from service for disciplinary reasons) arrested four days ago by the Guardia di Finanza on very serious charges, for the role he played in the organization of a gang that ran Spain’s international drug trade.
“He was really good…he knew what he was doing”, are the words of one of the leaders, Daniele Giannetto, who commented on the effectiveness and resolution of D’Onofrio’s interventions. “He says if he catches him he’ll torture him with the chain”, is what emerged from the analysis of a secret chat in which the protagonists of the story exchanged messages and reflections. Is still: “Sooner or later we’ll catch him… I had to kill him that day but instead I let myself down… he was dying… Rambo told me he stopped just for you”🇧🇷 It will be the same “Rambo” to confirm right after the unfortunate received a good lesson: “You can’t imagine how many I gave him”🇧🇷
It was D’Onofrio, according to the researchers’ thesis, “he is also responsible for organizing the logistical part of the importation of medicines and, among these activities, finding places where it is possible to carry out the safe unloading of the pallets in which the medicine was contained”.
In the reconstruction made by the authorities about the ganglia, the contacts, the promiscuity of the indiscriminate flows and the structure of the criminal group, it seemed much more than a ‘simple’ messenger. He dealt with sorting retail merchandise, delivering very important amounts of money into the hands of those who cleared that money, and then getting the reputation of a person trustworthy enough to call even to handle the most irritating or difficult circumstances.
Read the clip is stunned. Football Association President Gabriele Gravina convened an urgent council tomorrow, Tuesday, November 15, to assess the repercussions of the case on the image and credibility of the federation itself and the Association of Italian whistles. In May 2020 D’Onofrio had already been arrested by Fiamme Gialle because he was found with 40 kg of marijuana near Linate. He remained in his cell until September of the same year and then went under house arrest, benefiting from the authorization of the investigating judge to participate in the category’s meetings.
A year later (in March 2021) he would reach the top of the Public Ministry in The Hague. Last July, he was even awarded best manager of the Concepts Lo Bello award, a coveted recognition among Italian referees. The president of the referees, Alfredo Trentalange, accepted his resignation with an emergency measure, but the bomb exploded in his hand.
How was it possible that the medical officer who was fired from the Armed Forces for exercising the profession without ever having graduated, reached the top, the top of the national referees? Nobody knew or suspected anything, how is that possible? Shaken by the scandal of recent days, The Hague issued a statement in which, in addition to expressing deep surprise, he said “victim and induced in error with a very serious and malicious omission of the communications provided for in the Regulations of the Association”, the double life and problems that D’Onofrio kept hidden. They believed in their good faith, without having to resort to a work of verification and control of what was declared by one of the associates.
D’Onofrio lied so well to justly conceal his adventures, to maliciously cover up that double life brought to light by the investigations, to be able to enjoy such esteem and respect as to obtain such an important influence over the association of internal arbitration.
The former referee is convinced of this, Piero Giacomelli, first suspended and then discontinued by Serie A due to an accounting irregularity in the reimbursement of expenses of € 71.40. Had the weight of defining it in the interview with Repubblica “the armed wing that with its measures decided on promotions and dismissals of referees from Serie A and Serie B”.
The old Trieste whistle also speaks of it as a kind of “political choice” capable of directing and conditioning, for better or worse, the referees’ careers. As? “By imposing sanctions. By favoring some and punishing others, he decided on the merit rankings at the table. A dynamic that he brought to the political table for the elections of positions, could shift the votes of the regional sections awarded”.
