Biography[]
Giacomo Finucci was born in Rome, Lazio, Italy, and he was involved in militant neo-fascist terrorism during the Years of Lead in the 1970s, during which time he became close with the future crime boss and fellow militant "Samurai". After Italy's violent political crisis came to a close in the 1980s, Finucci entered politics with the mainstream conservative The People of Freedom party and became a municipal executive in Rome during the 2000s, serving as his old friend Samurai's political insider and as technical counselor to the Building Commission.
In 2008, he approached the Democratic Party of Italy city councillor Amedeo Cinaglia and persuaded him to aid Samurai in securing a piece of valuable beachfront property in Ostia for a company backed by the Mafia Capitale criminal organization and corruption ring. That same year, Countess Sveva della Rocca Croce, an ally of Samurai's rival Sara Monaschi, engineered an indictment against Finucci to complicate Samurai's acquisition of the beachfront in Ostia. Finucci was informed of the indictment by the Mayor, and, later that same day, Samurai met with him one-on-one and warned him against informing on him during the indictment; Finucci said that he had never ratted on Samurai, but Samurai warned him that people change under pressure, and that he would not send an indictment against Finucci (insinuating that he would have Finucci killed if he became disloyal).
Finucci, placed under house arrest, was later secretly visited by Cinaglia, who discovered from Finucci that Samurai planned to bring the Sicilian Mafia into Rome, with Ostia as their port of entry.
