00:00But this isn't just a story of criminals willing to do anything.
00:04This story holds a surprise, a tragic and very bitter surprise.
00:09The murderers of Pari De Pedini, the criminals of Uno Bianca, are in fact police officers.
00:17Here it is, seen.
00:21This sensational arrest.
00:22Roberto Savi, one of the Uno Bianca killers.
00:25An unsuspecting person, a police officer...
00:27Fabio Savi, brother of Roberto Savi, on duty at the Rimini police station.
00:32Pietro Gugliotta, the fellow police officer of the police cars.
00:35Two more police officers suspected in Bologna of the Uno Bianca crimes.
00:37Marino Occhipinti, 29, deputy superintendent of the narcotics section.
00:42Luca Vallicelli, 32, agent chosen in goal for Cesena.
00:45They were two trusted agents, with impeccable pasts.
00:49I think I speak on behalf of everyone, of all my colleagues,
00:56saying that one has been betrayed twice.
00:58For what they did and for the fact that they wore a uniform.
01:04Criminal policemen, men willing to do anything, confident, cold, ruthless.
01:08Meticulous in preparing their attacks, expert with weapons, skilled in escape.
01:12They carry out their robberies without ever leaving a trace, a footprint,
01:15a witness able to recognize them.
01:17Always and only two evanescent shadows, the long and the short.
01:23Then, on November 21, 1994, the arrest of Roberto Savi.
01:2840-year-old police officer serving at the Bologna police headquarters.
01:32Roberto Savi is certainly an extremely lucid, intelligent person,
01:37obviously of a Luciferian, criminal intelligence.
01:40They call him the monk at the police station because he's someone who always keeps to himself.
01:47At the time of his arrest, Roberto Savi worked at the 113 operations centre,
01:51from where he can control the entire city.
01:53For years, however, he was the patrol leader of Flying Squad 4,
01:56a man accustomed to making quick decisions.
01:58Married, one child.
02:00Until his arrest, according to witness descriptions,
02:03he is nicknamed by investigators as the short one.
02:07He's definitely the leader of the gang.
02:10Supported admirably by Fabio Savi, the tall player.
02:13He is a scary character because of his criminal ability.
02:20Fabio Savi, 34 years old, separated, one child.
02:23Together with his brother Roberto he takes part in all the gang's criminal actions.
02:27He lives with a 19-year-old Romanian girl.
02:29He likes motorcycles and the good life.
02:32He is a man in love with weapons,
02:34he's the only one who isn't a policeman and maybe he's affected by this too,
02:39as we say, he lacks something compared to his brothers.
02:43Ruthless person, a cold criminal,
02:46capable of laughing in the courtroom
02:49in front of the relatives of his victims.
02:56And then there is the third brother Savi, the youngest.
02:58His name is Alberto, he is 29 years old, also married with a young son.
03:02Police officer at the Rimini police station.
03:04Submissive, indecisive, bungling.
03:08What happens when they first arrest the two brothers, Roberto and Fabio,
03:13he bursts into tears, he even plays a part.
03:17The weak, crassed brother,
03:21probably because he couldn't say no to other rights.
03:25Over time, four more police officers joined the Savi gang
03:28of the Bologna police headquarters.
03:30At different times they were all under the orders of Roberto Savi
03:33when he was a patrol leader in the patrol cars.
03:34I'm Pietro Gugliotta, 34 years old, from Catania, an unsuspecting family man.
03:39Since 1990 he has taken part in many of the gang's heists.
03:42He is the policeman Gregario, very close to Roberto Savi,
03:47a man who would have done anything for Roberto Savi.
03:51And then there are two very young policemen from Forlì,
03:54Marino Occhipinti, 29, and Luca Vallicelli, 31.
03:57Both participate in few actions and only Occhipinti has bloody deeds.
04:02So a band with strong internal cohesion,
04:05a blood bond as regards the three main actors
04:10and a bond of friendship with regard to the only true subject outside the family.
04:20Finally there is her, the gang's fatal fan, Eva Edith Mikua.
04:25A very flashy eastern danna, she comes from Romania.
04:29A classic Knight girl, with whom Fabio Savi falls in love and for whom he will even leave his wife.
04:35She found herself in a world where money circulated,
04:40in a world that at a certain point confronted her with some very harsh realities.
04:46Eva Mikula has been Fabio's partner since 1992.
04:50After the arrests, it will be her, with her testimony, who will nail all the members of the gang.
04:54She will betray Fabio and come out clean.
05:13The Uno Bianca criminals, mysterious and elusive for years, finally have a name and a face.
05:21They are the three Savi brothers and two of them are even policemen who have recruited three other men into the gang.
05:28colleagues.
05:29But why? Why all this ferocious and gratuitous violence?
05:33Why would a man who has sworn loyalty to the State and its institutions betray his oath in this way?
05:40Our investigation is a real journey to the end of the night, beginning on October 3, 1987,
05:46when the Uno Bianca gang commits its first murder.
05:52I had my own business, I always behaved honestly with everyone.
05:56And one fine day, thanks to some gentlemen who scammed me,
06:12I found myself with debts to pay and practically no job anymore and having to face the
06:22situation.
06:23I was angry with the whole world at that moment.
06:26I was 25, it was a big thing for me.
06:32I rebelled against the world I was against.
06:39Silvano Grossi, a car dealer in Rimini, failed to pay some invoices to Fabio Savi for bodywork work.
06:44Fabio then turns to the two policemen brothers, Roberto and Alberto.
06:48Together they prepare revenge.
06:50First the intimidation, repeated gunshots at the windows of the dealership.
06:54Then the extortion, 30 million lire to leave the entrepreneur alone.
06:58It is October 3, 1987.
07:00He should have taken a car that was on display in his showroom and called for the A14 towards Bologna and stopped
07:09under every overpass.
07:11Wait a minute, if nothing happens, restart until the next one.
07:17However, Silvano Grossi alerts the police.
07:19An unmarked car will follow him in delivering the money.
07:22Inspector Baglioni was driving, with Superintendent Mosca at his side and Officer Ada di Campi in the back seat.
07:28When he stopped at the right bridge, he saw a rope hanging together with a bag and someone who
07:35he told her to put the money in the bag.
07:38I already had my gun in my hand ready to intervene, as did Mosca and Baglioni.
07:45Only that as soon as we stopped the car we didn't have time because they shot at us first.
07:51In that operation the wise men immediately manifest a characteristic that will be constant throughout their criminal life.
08:02That is, the ruthless, determined and even imposing use of weapons in order to avoid being identified or injured.
08:11nor pursued in any way by law enforcement officers.
08:17I heard shooting, I heard shooting everywhere because I heard so many shots and I was shooting too.
08:23Mosca immediately fell on top of Baglioni, Baglioni had the presence of mind to get out of the car and call for help.
08:32and at the same time to shoot, to return fire.
08:35At that moment I hear Ada screaming, Campi's Ada who was stuck in the car, screaming and asking
08:43help.
08:44I stand up, look out onto the front seat where I was, I see Tonio Mosca lying on top of both of us,
08:52both seats, with a hole in the face and all bloody and motionless on the seats.
09:00It is the first murder of the gang of policemen turned criminals and it is a policeman, the first victim of the Uno Bianca,
09:08Officer Antonio Mosca, from the Rimini police station, the same police station where Alberto Savi works.
09:15So, cops killing cops, colleagues killing colleagues.
09:20Behind this violence lies the most banal motive for a crime: money.
09:26Four months earlier, in the summer of '87, it all began with a robbery and a highway toll booth.
09:34We started talking about it as a joke, sometimes commenting on some newspaper article, then the joke goes on, the joke
09:42it goes on and we found ourselves planning a robbery.
09:46As you know, my husband is a policeman and he doesn't earn much and I don't earn much either.
09:51I earn a certain amount of money.
09:53And one day he told me that he and his brothers had decided to do this second job, you know.
10:02Meaning what?
10:04Like robberies, something like that.
10:06The technique is more or less always the same.
10:09Alberto stays aboard his car, they use Alberto's car, a regatta.
10:15Fabio goes down with Roberto, Roberto goes in to rob the takings and Alberto covers him or vice versa.
10:27At first the gang is made up of only the wise brothers.
10:30The first shot was on June 19, 1987.
10:33Alberto's Fiat Regata was used for the robberies, with a fake license plate and their own weapons.
10:39In four months the gang of wise men carried out 13 robberies, taking 90 million lire.
10:44At the end of each round we go to the seaside, in Romagna, for breakfast.
10:50They got a taste for it and even enjoyed it.
10:56They even enjoyed doing that job, so to speak.
11:01Fear conquered.
11:06You do one, then you do another, then you do another, then you find yourself
11:10to do one after the other without even realizing it.
11:13And did they bring more money into the house?
11:15Yes, when you see that he started to change the car, the penalty for lives had already increased slightly.
11:23In this first phase the wise men were identified by the press as the regatta band.
11:28And in this same first phase we have the first miscarriage of justice.
11:32When a group of people are identified for robberies at motorway toll booths
11:38who may have committed a robbery or two at a toll booth,
11:44but to whom are then attributed all the other crimes that will later be discovered to have been committed by the wise men,
11:50but only seven years later.
11:52It is only the first of a long series of errors, the arrest of four people who are not with them
11:58'they enter nothing.
11:59For the wise it's a stroke of luck, police officers know perfectly well how investigations in these cases go.
12:05The Carabinieri just need to be convinced they've caught the right ones.
12:09And then for us, for the journalists, for the media, who were able to immediately identify the gang
12:17and for them, for the wise brothers, who had, so to speak, a trademark of terror.
12:25Because every time they came, see a white 1 and see three people armed
12:31it immediately triggered emotional reactions of surrender
12:36which made the task of these characters a little easier.
12:43When the machine changes, the gang also changes its objectives.
12:46Toll booth robberies are no longer enough.
12:47The security vans of the Coop supermarket chain are now in the crosshairs.
12:51This is how the second phase of... begins.
12:56The gang strikes at the end of the day when the takings are collected.
13:00As with the first attacks, they use large-caliber pistols and shotguns.
13:04But there is also something new.
13:06Roberto has now turned to explosives.
13:11Explosions and shootings last night outside a supermarket on the outskirts of Bologna.
13:16The prognosis reserved for Isauro Lollini has not yet been lifted.
13:21His colleague Valentino Neri, on the other hand, is in better conditions.
13:24Last night's robbery was the third to have occurred at a Co-op in Emilia Romagna.
13:28The gang's activity is now intense.
13:31Too much for just three people.
13:33Roberto begins to study some colleagues.
13:35For example, Luca Vallicelli, just over twenty but already disillusioned.
13:38Or Marino Occhipinti, a man of few words.
13:40After all, Roberto's second job promises easy money.
13:44I asked, I said yes and...
13:47And they moved on to do this robbery.
13:50The band at this point consists of five people.
13:53And if in the beginning one car was enough per robbery, now robberies are more complicated.
13:57There's a long way to go in the traffic, there's the risk of being stopped, recognized.
14:02At this point we need three machines.
14:09They organized themselves precisely to have three escape solutions, therefore in three different directions from the epicenter of the event, of the
14:18'event.
14:19All this is corroborated by the fact that Roberto Savi knew perfectly well the police headquarters' plans for that day.
14:28So everything is always smooth sailing.
14:30These are very brutal robberies, very well planned and which are starting to make the gang's earnings really significant and
14:41interesting.
14:43The loot increases, 300 million, but the number of deaths left on the roads also increases.
14:49Between the beginning of 1988 and the summer of 1989 there are five.
14:53Two Carabinieri, Cataldo Stasi and Umberto Herriu.
14:56Two security guards, Giampiero Picello and Carlo Beccari.
14:59He is a witness, Adolfino Alessandri.
15:02It's June 26, 1989.
15:08A fellow condominium member called me at my girlfriend's house saying that something serious had happened to my dad.
15:14and rush home as quickly as possible.
15:17On the way we saw a lot of police cars, carabinieri cars,
15:22a helicopter circling with the lighthouse underneath.
15:24One passerby killed, four security guards injured, two of whom are with a conditional prognosis.
15:29The tragic outcome of the attempted robbery was only partially successful last night, shortly after 10pm in Bologna,
15:34to the detriment of the Coppa Emilia Veneto.
15:42Halfway there I was picked up by two policemen who took me by the arm and told me
15:47listen, we should show you something, you have to recognize a person.
15:51I'm assuming there was just this sheet, this white sheet with a big blood stain on it.
15:57We knelt down, the policemen, and one of them uncovered my dad's face and told me
16:01This is his father. I say yes, I recognize him, that he is my father.
16:08Adolfino Alessandri, a 53-year-old pensioner, is located not far from the Coop where the robbery is taking place.
16:14When he hears the sound of an explosion he decides to get on his bike and go and see.
16:20Along the way, however, he comes across the Savi brothers fleeing,
16:23who shoot anyone who looks out of the windows.
16:26And then he tells her right away, what do you do with the tongues because he shot?
16:32Because he just turned around and kicked her in the back wheel of her bike,
16:39he dropped it on the ground and shot us.
16:44A month before the robbery in which Adolfino Alessandri lost his life,
16:47The Bologna prosecutor's office announces that it has arrested the Coop gang.
16:51According to investigators, they are criminals based in Catania,
16:55on a trip to Bologna specifically for the rapids.
16:58For the newspapers they immediately become the commuters of crime.
17:02Recent arrests carried out by the Carabinieri had led to the belief
17:05that the so-called Co-op gang had received a decisive blow,
17:09but the bloody episode of last night for the manner and ferocity,
17:12identical to others, raises disturbing questions.
17:17The Catanesi gang was nailed by a false tip-off,
17:20that of Anna Maria Fontana, a prostitute who would have offered them hospitality and support.
17:25But it was only five years later that it became clear that this testimony was not reliable.
17:30Libero Mancuso, president of the first-degree trial against the Savi brothers, confirmed this.
17:35Fontana repeated what he didn't know but what he heard during a heated conversation, interrogation.
17:46And there you can understand everything about how, let's say, this deposition was somehow constructed.
17:52And this was what this deadly circuit was all about.
17:57the element that led to the conviction, to the life imprisonment of a subject strange to those facts.
18:03And he has 30 years of other robbery convictions.
18:09Furthermore, the Court of Cassation, when it annulled the sentence of the Court of Assizes and of Appeal,
18:17He also annulled all the other convictions for robberies that these Catanese had actually committed.
18:26So a false testimony puts some criminals in jail who, however, have nothing to do with the Savi's robberies.
18:33But how could this happen?
18:35How is it possible that expert magistrates like those of the Bologna Prosecutor's Office could have made such a mistake?
18:42Meanwhile, however, for the second time the Savi and their accomplices find themselves safe from investigations.
18:49and for some time they stop hitting.
18:52They want to make sure the investigation is closed.
18:55Then on October 6th 1990 they start again.
19:02On October 6th 1990 we were returning from a company trip of my daughter and at 6.30 we called
19:10my husband
19:11saying we were coming.
19:16When we arrived we saw a huge mess and we were all wondering what happened?
19:21There are police cars, there is everything and more and then right from the point we saw
19:26this sheet with someone underneath.
19:32There was a robbery.
19:34At that point my daughter started saying mommy I can't see daddy.
19:37So there was a gentleman there, he says, what's your father's name?
19:41Zechi Primo, then says the one who is lying on the ground.
19:45They killed him with two gunshots to the left cheekbone and nose.
19:49A few moments before he was writing down the license plate numbers of the two robbers' cars
19:52who had attempted a robbery and robbed and injured another person.
19:55The victim of the ruthless execution was Primo Zechi, 51, an employee of the municipal waste management company.
20:02The wise men's move seems like a strange step backwards.
20:04From elaborate robberies of armored vehicles to a 700,000 lire theft from a tobacconist.
20:09Primo Zechi's murder was gratuitous and cold-blooded.
20:12What's the point of killing Primo Zechi?
20:15If they had only wanted to commit a robbery, they would have left, since they were in a stolen car.
20:21He comes out of a tobacconist's, sees the final part of a robbery, the change of a car
20:27and he writes down license plate numbers and gets murdered for that.
20:31They came back to kill him, to give some sort of dramatic, tragic lesson.
20:38to anyone who from that moment on had the courage that Primo Zechi had.
20:47With the murder of Primo Zechi, the Uno Bianca gang, which in the meantime has seen the exit
20:51of Occhipinti and Vallicelli and the entry of a new member, Pietro Gugliotta, enters the
20:56its third phase.
20:57An anomalous phase, made up of paltry loot and ferocious racist raids.
21:28An anomalous phase, made up of paltry loot and ferocious racist raids.
21:52In December 1990 alone, the Uno Bianca team carried out four actions of a ferocity
21:57unheard of, leaving four dead and fourteen wounded on the ground.
22:02On December 10th they attacked the nomad camp of Santa Caterina IV, on the north-eastern outskirts
22:07in Bologna, injuring nine people.
22:09On December 22, two Maghrebian window washers were shot.
22:12On December 23, in the gypsy camp on Via Gubetti, they killed Patrizia della Santina and Rodolfo Bellinati.
22:17Then on December 27th, during a robbery at a petrol station, they kill Luigi Pasqui and during
22:22a change of car Pari Depedini.
22:26The gang always strikes with the same weapon, a military assault rifle, the AR70 Beretta,
22:32deadly and extremely precise, modified to leave no shells on the ground.
22:39An escalation of death and terror, petty robberies, motiveless murders, attacks
22:45to nomad camps and non-EU citizens.
22:48A trail of blood that seems illogical and without a common thread.
22:52Then one winter night, the most terrible episode in the tragic history of the gang
22:57of the White Uno.
22:59We are in Pilastro, one of the most notorious neighborhoods of Bologna, it is the night of January 4th
23:03of 91.
23:08Friday, January 4, 1991.
23:11A thick fog envelops the streets of Pilastro in an unreal silence.
23:15A patrol of the Carabinieri advances slowly.
23:18On board are three young soldiers, Andrea Moneta, Otello Stefanini and Mauro Mitilini.
23:24They are on patrol due to the continuous attacks against non-EU citizens.
23:29It's a few minutes to 10pm when the blue Fiat Uno of the Carabinieri overtakes another
23:33Fiat Uno, this one, however, in white.
23:36There are three men on board, armed.
23:40One evening they went to Bologna and they intended to go and shoot some blacks, some
23:50community members, however, while walking around the area around this building they encountered some police officers
23:57and he said, ah, these are fine too.
24:01They came up behind him for a moment and probably took the license plate number, because shortly after
24:12We found them in front of us, overtaking us and as they overtook us, they slammed on the brakes
24:20who slowed down, I don't know if they slowed down, I don't know if they wanted to stop or what.
24:25The fact remains that my brother fired a few shots in their direction and they went away.
24:30full speed.
24:31Then nothing, about 100-150 meters further on, at least that's what I think, the car was stopped
24:37and these had come out and were shooting.
24:40Had these gone down?
24:41The carabinieri had come out and were shooting at us.
24:44I was basically injured when I was getting out of the car, then after
24:48I don't remember because I was in pretty bad shape.
24:53Logically we look for a shelter, then we can't get back in the car and leave, it's the
24:58choice there that they shoot at us, because if we get back in the car and leave,
25:02they shoot at us.
25:04A conversation had begun that needed to be closed.
25:07It's either us or them.
25:13It all happens in a few seconds.
25:14When the Wise Men start shooting with the R-70, a rain of lead falls on the car
25:19of the carabinieri.
25:20Stefanini, who was driving, was fatally injured.
25:22Mitilini, in the back seat, manages to grab the machine gun.
25:26Only Moneta manages to get down and hit Roberto Savi.
25:30But for the three young carabinieri there is no escape.
25:33Their last hope is extinguished by those three final blows that illuminate the fog
25:39of January 4th of that tragic winter.
25:42It was terrible having a boyfriend, 21 years old, disappear at noon and by evening he's gone.
25:53He leaves for Bologna, at midday on January 4th he arrives in Bologna at 5.
26:01At midnight a phone call, that phone call seemed like a storm, a tempest.
26:11Ready, ready, in a firefight his son is dead and the story ends.
26:21Was that how it was?
26:22Yes, that's how it was.
26:24It was terrible.
26:51Three carabinieri killed, three young lives taken for no reason.
26:55A few days after the attacks on the Campinomani, the massacre at the Pillar brings the city down
27:00in the nightmare.
27:01No concrete leads, no clues, no suspects.
27:05So, if there is no lead, it means that any lead could be the right one.
27:11There is this phase, this period in which the gang, if it is a gang of robbers and not a gang
27:19of terrorists, has terrorist behavior and not that of robbers.
27:22The way the shots were carried out and the way they were carried out were reminiscent of a military scenario.
27:29It was hypothesized that there could be a link with occult or armed structures.
27:35That it could be a new attack on a city administered by the left in a period
27:40where the left still greatly scared some sectors of the country.
27:52Their modus operandi, the cynicism, the malice, the ferocity, the use of these weapons so
27:59heavy, looked very much like what another gang, the Walloon Brabant, had
28:05made in Belgium years before.
28:13Belgium, Walloon Brabant region.
28:15Between 1982 and 1986 a series of robberies at a supermarket chain resulted in 28 deaths
28:22and numerous wounded, all for paltry spoils.
28:27The same dynamic repeats itself every time.
28:29The bandits move like a commando, with military technique, shooting anyone in sight.
28:34on their path and always managing to escape from the police without problems.
28:39In the end the gang turns out to be composed of elements of the Belgian gendarmerie, belonging
28:44to a far-right terrorist cell linked to the secret services.
28:48Go!
28:54This hypothesis was also thought of, that there was an involvement of the deviant apparatuses of the
28:59State, that there was a plan, a subversive plan behind these events.
29:04To strengthen the subversive hypothesis there is also a strange acronym, that of the armed phalanx,
29:09which promptly claims all the crimes committed by those of the 1st Plant.
29:13The only thing we know about the armed phalanx is that it was certainly very well informed.
29:19They knew many things, they even knew things much earlier than the investigators.
29:26So the umpteenth investigative hypothesis is that behind the 1 White there could be a plan
29:31adverse, that all these murders without a loot could be part of a plan
29:37to destabilize the Red Region, Emilia Romagna.
29:401991 is the year of the pillar and also the year of Gladio, a year of suspicion and controversy.
29:47Then in June 1992 a dramatic turn of events.
29:49The Bologna police headquarters declares that it has found the killers of the Carabinieri.
29:55It was June 20, 1992, around 8 pm, there was still light at that time,
30:02it was still daylight.
30:05They knocked on the door directly, a lot of plainclothes police arrived, in that case
30:12it was the Digos.
30:14Peter and William Sant'Agata, both convicted criminals, are boys from the pillar.
30:19Massimiliano Motta and Marco Medda, a well-known Camorrista, also ended up in handcuffs with them.
30:24According to the Bologna prosecutor's office, they are the pillar killers.
30:27The turning point in the investigation, as in the inquiry into the Coop robberies, comes from a testimony.
30:32There is a person who accuses you, she signed, Simonetta Bersani, who I knew well,
30:39because we were in the same company and hadn't seen each other for a few years.
30:44Then I actually started laughing.
30:45The first thing I did when he challenged me on this was to laugh and say
30:49Look, there's a misunderstanding.
30:52Simonetta Bersani was only 17 years old at the time of the massacre of the three Carabinieri.
30:56The investigators questioned her immediately after the events, but it was only after many interrogations
31:01that the girl accuses the Sant'Agata brothers.
31:03In her final version, Bersani will say she saw the Carabinieri patrol
31:07stop next to Peter, who would then shoot.
31:10Well, that version of the woman, of the girl, that too is heard numerous times.
31:21The first stories were unlikely, but gradually they became plausible.
31:27Each time he adds a detail and also adds a responsible person.
31:34I would like to ask you just one thing, I don't ask you anything else.
31:40When do you tell yourself to tell the truth?
31:44I've been telling the truth up to now, that is, you're probably the one who has to say, who has to say
31:52the truth, nothing more.
31:54And instead the truth, the reality was that I was at the bar, in the central bar of the neighborhood,
32:01to play billiards with at least 40-50 people present.
32:06Yes of course, on the evening of January 4th 1991 we were right here in the bar and we were playing that billiards table there,
32:13we played in Goriziano and there were lots of people.
32:16I said we were at the bar gambling, and they ended up arresting me, giving me three months in jail.
32:26But investigators don't believe Peter Sant'Agata's alibi.
32:29Furthermore, the alleged presence of Marco Medda at the pillar also triggers the young people
32:33the charge of mafia association.
32:35For the newspapers it is the fifth mafia.
32:38It is at this point in the process that Peter Sant'Agata asks for and obtains a confrontation
32:42with the main prosecution witness, Simonetta Bersani.
32:46So the final word, you don't want to put an end to this nightmare.
32:49Do we want to move on?
32:53I mean, you have to understand what end you're talking about?
32:56I mean, I told the truth, not...
32:58There are people who died first of all, there are families who are
33:02suffering because you would like to make some kids pay who have done nothing and
33:06of the faults that are others'.
33:08This is one of the crucial moments of the trial of the Pilaster boys accused of the massacre.
33:13of the three carabinieri.
33:14The confrontation between one of the defendants is an alleged eyewitness testimony that accuses him.
33:20But while the trial drags on for months, the Uno Bianca gang continues to strike,
33:25and yet to stop the murderers it would have been enough to follow the only good lead in hand
33:31to the investigators, the weapons trail.
33:33Forensic police found 222 Remington bullets fired from an R-70 at the pillar.
33:43These rifles have a much greater offensive potential than those used before,
33:48they are also their property.
33:54Even the Bologna police headquarters had realized that the weapons trail was the right one.
33:58On January 14, 1991, ten days after the Pillar Massacre, the Flying Squad sends this
34:04document to the heads of the investigation into the Carabinieri massacre.
34:07This is a list of AR-70 owners in the city and province.
34:12There are only 30 names.
34:14In 26th place is Roberto Savi, owner of two AR-70s, with alongside him
34:20a note, colleague.
34:24And precisely because he is a colleague, Roberto Savi is asked to bring one of the rifles to the police station
34:28to study its functioning closely.
34:33So, she owns the gun with which she killed three carabinieri from the pillar.
34:38And despite this, despite the absolute uncertainty, he calmly brings the gun to the checkpoint.
34:44Of the flying squad first and of the forensic team afterwards.
34:48Not at all, I brought it anyway.
34:51So it wasn't quiet.
34:55Let's say he ran the risk of being discovered, is that right?
34:58Yes.
34:59Through the gun.
35:01In reality, Roberto Savi does not bring the rifle used at the pillar to his colleagues at the police station.
35:06whose joint has already exploded.
35:07But the other one, the one bought on December 27, 1990.
35:11The fact remains that screening of all AR-70 owners in Emilia-Romagna will never be carried out.
35:19By now, however, Roberto Savi knows that weapons could be the right lead to nailing the gang.
35:25Savi then decides to hit the armory on Via Volturno, in the heart of Bologna.
35:31It is the morning of May 2, 1991.
35:33Fabio Savi, with a magazine in his pocket and a fake mustache, enters the armory.
35:37Roberto stays outside, covering.
35:41There is a sense that they were using weapons.
35:45I asked to see some guns.
35:50Now we're taking these guns away.
35:54I said if you want it, this is the money.
36:00Open the door and I'm leaving.
36:02The man closed the door, put his hand under the table like this,
36:10he said I want to see now how you can get away, they're coming.
36:13And I shot him.
36:18I turned to the woman and said to the woman, open the door.
36:24And she said yes to him.
36:26I opened the door and was about to go.
36:28At that point she said they'll take you anyway,
36:32I recognized you, you have a Rimini accent and it won't take them long to find you.
36:38At that point she became a witness.
36:46The owner of the armory, Licia Ansaloni,
36:48and the clerk, the former carabiniere Pietro Capolungo,
36:52they are killed for two Beretta pistols.
36:54At least this is what Fabio Savi will always maintain, even during the trial.
36:59But something doesn't add up in this version.
37:03Because it's not a gun shop in the suburbs that you can easily escape from, right?
37:09It's in a small alleyway, right in the historic center, a stone's throw from the police headquarters.
37:15In reality, the Savi have been customers of the gun shop for 14 years.
37:19Roberto Savi bought two weapons in this very gun shop
37:21and it was always in Via Volturno that he stocked up on gunpowder,
37:25cartridges and bullets for reloading cartridge cases.
37:28One of the hypotheses that has bounced around over the years
37:31it is that the former carabiniere Capolungo had somehow understood.
37:38And so it was, he signed his death warrant.
37:42In Via Volturno the Savi, in addition to stealing weapons,
37:45they would therefore have wanted to eliminate an inconvenient witness.
37:47But there is another disturbing element to this robbery.
37:50A passerby, in fact, noticed Roberto Savi outside the armory
37:53and provided the police with an identikit.
37:56An identikit that is then clear to everyone
37:59be a photocopy of a photograph by Roberto Savi
38:03which always remains hanging and is distributed everywhere
38:08and remains in the police station for a very long time.
38:11One sees the photo of Roberto Savi and sees the identikit,
38:15It's not a rough sketch, it's very faithful to reality.
38:23This identikit is also submitted to Luciano Verlicchi,
38:26husband of Licia Ansaloni and owner of the gun shop.
38:31Verlicchi, at a certain point, blurted out saying
38:34but yes, this identikit could even resemble one of you,
38:38a certain Sani, for example, who frequented this armory.
38:45If a person who is a shopkeeper notices it
38:50who has seen this character once or twice in the armory
38:54and he recognizes it, how can everyone at the police station not recognize it?
38:58It's hard to digest.
39:00Verlicchi's words fall on deaf ears.
39:03Roberto Savi does not seem to have the slightest fear of having been recognized.
39:07And even the images from the Rai news
39:10they show him at the crime scene a few hours after the double homicide,
39:14but this time in a police uniform.
39:17It's him, Roberto Savi, a few hours after committing the robbery,
39:21he returned to Via Volturno where he had just killed Pietro Capolungo and Licia Ansaloni,
39:28but this time he's in uniform, in a police uniform and on duty.
39:31You see, Roberto Savi's behavior seems certain of his above suspicion.
39:37So is there someone protecting him and the other members of the Uno Bianca?
39:43Who could it be?
39:45It's because in the meantime the Savi brothers' gang
39:48is about to make yet another qualitative leap in this escalation of terror.
39:56During the armory robbery, the gang changes their weapons.
39:59From now on he will only use the two Berettas stolen on Via Volturno.
40:02Change your goals too.
40:04Now he moves on to robberies and banks.
40:07In their robberies and bank robberies, the Wise Men demonstrate that they have become very sophisticated criminals.
40:12They keep long waits, they choose their targets well,
40:15they try to immediately understand the habits of the employees of the various institutions to be attacked
40:21to be able to act either upon the opening or closing of the same,
40:25thus managing to complete the operation in the shortest time possible.
40:30Between 1991 and early 1994,
40:34The Wise Men carry out 36 robberies,
40:37They kill 5 people and injure 14.
40:39From Bologna to Rimini, from Riccione to Cesena,
40:42up to Ravenna and Gabice Mare,
40:43for a loot of 1 billion and 250 million lire.
40:47But now the Uno Bianca gang seems elusive.
40:56But while in Bologna useless trials are being held,
40:59In Rimini, a young magistrate takes charge of the investigation.
41:03When I take the file in my hand,
41:06I realize that for the number of episodes,
41:09the severity of the same,
41:11the fact that they had been committed in various cities of Emilia-Romagna,
41:15it was absolutely necessary to put together a group of people
41:19that he dealt solely and exclusively with this fact.
41:23The Interforce pool set up by Paci also includes two police officers.
41:27They are Pietro Costanza and Luciano Baglioni.
41:30Seven years earlier Baglioni was alongside Antonio Mosca,
41:33the first victim of the Savi brothers.
41:36We have collected mountains of papers and files
41:39inside a prosecutor's office
41:40and we started to examine them,
41:42sheet by sheet, paper by paper.
41:45In all these years, never a single tip-off,
41:47never a confidence, never a repentant.
41:50We start from a hypothesis.
41:51The Uno Bianca gang is not part of organised crime,
41:55but above all we start from a video
41:57recorded inside one of the banks robbed by the Saviors.
42:02Extrapolating a frame,
42:03Investigators obtain the photo of the tall man,
42:05or Fabio Savi.
42:09A photo we had in all places,
42:13we had in our offices,
42:14we had in our car,
42:15in our wallet, we had at home.
42:18We had it before our eyes from morning to night,
42:20I mean, we were walking around with that photo,
42:22because that was a significant detail
42:26and that was what would surely bring us
42:28to identify the gang.
42:32Meanwhile the Wise Men continue to strike.
42:35On May 24, 1994, in front of the savings bank of Villa San Martino,
42:39a few kilometers from Pesaro,
42:41they make their last victim.
42:42It is Ubaldo Paci, the director of the bank.
42:45When he refuses to open the door of the institution,
42:47Fabio Savi rushes him with a shot to the temple.
42:51Every time it was a defeat.
42:54I realized that if we didn't take them,
42:59these would have continued to kill people.
43:04It's a race against time.
43:06We must catch them before they kill again.
43:10Studying the gang's habits,
43:12Agents Baglioni and Costanza narrow down the field
43:14of the possible targets of five banks
43:16and the stakeouts begin.
43:20Their patience is rewarded.
43:23Right in front of one of these banks
43:24they notice a suspicious car
43:26and they follow her to Torriana,
43:28a small municipality in the Rimini hinterland.
43:32The driver's home was identified,
43:34they go to the registry office to find out who lives there
43:36and the clerk shows them a photo.
43:40He gives us the photo,
43:42Costanza and I look at it
43:44and without speaking,
43:46without saying anything we looked at each other,
43:50and we immediately understood
43:52that we had found the right person.
43:55The two agents immediately reconnect
43:56that photograph to the one in the bank video.
43:59In the end the long one has a name,
44:02Fabio Savi.
44:03The interceptions started immediately
44:05of Fabio Savi's house,
44:08from his wife.
44:09From the phones you can see that Fabio talks often
44:14with a brother named Roberto
44:16and the first one certainly has to try to understand
44:19who is this Roberto Savi.
44:22From the very first checks it only emerges
44:24that Roberto Savi owns two AR-70 rifles,
44:27but not that he's a cop.
44:29But Baglioni and Costanza decide
44:31to go to the police station in Bologna
44:32to check the file
44:34relating to his gun license.
44:36Inside the cover
44:38attached is the photo of Savi Roberto.
44:41The colleague exclaims when opening
44:44but this is the same as the identikit
44:47of the murder at the armory here in Bologna.
44:50That is, at that point our blood ran cold.
44:53This exclamation made
44:55that a colleague who approaches
44:57look at the photo ago
44:58but he is a colleague, he works up here
45:01in the operations room.
45:03At that point we were paralyzed,
45:06we didn't really know what to do anymore
45:09and we literally ran away
45:11from the Bologna police headquarters
45:12because at that moment we learned
45:15that Savi and Roberto were a policeman.
45:24We cross-reference service hours
45:26by Roberto Savi
45:28with about forty robberies
45:30committed by the Uno Bianca gang.
45:32Here, at that moment
45:34we realized that
45:35every time a robbery occurred
45:37Roberto Savi was not on duty.
45:39It's time to snap on the cuffs.
45:42Roberto Savi is arrested
45:43the evening of November 21, 1994
45:45at the police station.
45:47Approached by a colleague
45:48hand over the two pistols
45:49which he has with him and declares
45:50I could have blown you all up.
45:54Two days later
45:55at a gas station
45:5627 kilometers from the Austrian border
45:58Fabio is also arrested.
46:00With him is Eva Micula.
46:02That night was really
46:04the end of a nightmare.
46:06We had broken a chain of blood
46:08which had been going on for many years.
46:11Then it will be Alberto Savi's turn,
46:13Peter Gugliotta, Marino Occhipinti
46:15and Luca Vallicelli.
46:17All policemen.
46:18The White Uno Gang
46:19it was defeated.
46:23A sensational arrest
46:25that tears the veil
46:27on nearly eight years of murders
46:29but also on investigative omissions
46:31and on the errors,
46:33sensational miscarriages of justice.
46:35She will be the first to speak,
46:37Eva Micula,
46:39Fabio Savi's Romanian partner.
46:41But the confessions will come soon
46:43of all members of the gang.
46:45Meanwhile, in all these years,
46:47there are almost 150 people
46:51tried, arrested
46:53or investigated in various capacities
46:55but always, always unjustly.
46:58Among them were Peter and William Sant'Agata.
47:00But the story of the Uno Bianca
47:02has one last twist in store for us.
47:06Look, the reason why
47:08you killed the police, which one is it?
47:11None, so as not to be stopped.
47:13That's all there is to it.
47:15In the fall of 1994,
47:17when the Savi brothers
47:18they are arrested together
47:19to the other members of the band,
47:21the trial against the Sant'Agata family,
47:23Medda and Motta,
47:24accused of the Pillar Massacre,
47:26It's still ongoing.
47:27Everyone expects
47:28that the four be immediately acquitted
47:30and instead, despite the confessions of the Wise Men,
47:33the prosecution hypothesizes complicity
47:34among the Uno Bianca gang
47:36and the Sant'Agata brothers.
47:37The Wise Men said
47:40a huge mass of lies.
47:43Peter Sant'Agata at that time
47:45is ensuring the confidentiality of the Wise Men.
47:49A weapon of the Wise
47:51is placed in the hands
47:52of that Peter Sant'Agata.
47:54And if the clowns...
47:56Please stop.
47:58The PM, Giovanni Spinosa,
48:01he persists in this theory
48:04which were actually
48:07this fifth pillar mafia,
48:09these four defendants,
48:11look for even unlikely connections
48:14among the Uno Bianca gang
48:16and the four who are behind bars.
48:20For William Sant'Agata,
48:22for Peter Sant'Agata
48:23and for Medda Park
48:24the requested penalty is life imprisonment.
48:35And at a certain point
48:36must be the President of the Court
48:38which imposes itself and closes the debate,
48:41it goes to trial.
48:42Absolves Medda, Marco,
48:44Saint Agatha, Peter,
48:45Saint Agatha, William,
48:46Motto, Massimiliano.
48:58It was the end of a nightmare
48:59lasting almost three years
49:02and was sent to prison unjustly
49:04for doing nothing.
49:06To kill the Carabinieri of the pillar
49:08So they were the saved,
49:09alone and only to avoid being stopped.
49:12But the time of trials
49:14it's also the time
49:15to try to clarify
49:17the last remaining questions,
49:19starting from that
49:20on the secret services
49:21and on the armed phalanx,
49:23to understand in short
49:24if there really was someone
49:26behind the White Uno.
49:28Have you ever had intercourse?
49:29with secret services
49:30or with characters
49:31who were said to be close
49:33to the secret services?
49:36A working relationship,
49:38of anything else, no.
49:39When the armed phalanx
49:42he claimed for himself
49:43of the actions
49:44that she had accomplished,
49:45the thing,
49:46it bothered her,
49:48was it causing her problems?
49:51Problems,
49:52what do I want?
49:52It's not like one can do much,
49:54obviously one makes one's own considerations,
49:56it's someone who is having fun
49:57or is it someone who has his good reasons
50:00to do what he does.
50:01She doesn't think
50:02do they have someone to buy?
50:03No,
50:05it was just them,
50:07they never supported each other
50:08to no one
50:11because they didn't trust anyone,
50:13that is, they believed in themselves
50:15and that's it.
50:17Secret Services
50:18behind the White Uno.
50:20Behind the White Uno
50:20there is the tarica,
50:21the headlights,
50:22the parovists,
50:22Enough,
50:23there is nothing else.
50:26Behind the White Uno
50:28so
50:28there was no one,
50:30no principal,
50:31no coverage,
50:33no mystery,
50:34rather a story of mistakes.
