The recent statements by actress Marisa Laurito regarding the presence of the mafia in Desenzano del Garda have reignited public debate on this delicate issue. These observations, which emerge in a press release from the opposition signed by councilor Andrea Spiller, provide a critical view on the management of the situation by local administrators. According to research and reports from authoritative institutions, the Brescia and Garda area has seen an increasing infiltration of mafia organizations, with Desenzano standing out as a key point due to its strategic location and dynamic economic sector.
The opposition’s statements highlight the issue of organized crime in Desenzano. Cases such as the 2019 shooting in Rivoltella have been cited as examples of mafia presence. Furthermore, data on properties and businesses seized in the province of Brescia for mafia ties, including 13 cases in Desenzano, confirm this presence.
The reaction of local administrators to this situation has been subject to criticism from the opposition. Statements that downplay the phenomena of organized crime, describing them as mere episodes of petty crime, have been deemed inadequate and dangerous for underestimating a much more complex and deeply rooted reality.
In the context of Desenzano, the opposition emphasizes the importance of a more attentive and aware approach to combating organized crime. These organizations tend to operate in the shadows, making their activities difficult to detect and counteract. Therefore, it is believed that awareness and active participation of citizens are essential to support the actions of law enforcement and promote effective resistance to these phenomena.
In summary, this is the position of the Five Star Movement and the “L’altra Desenzano” list, signed by councilor Andrea Spiller.
