Vittorio Pisani is the new Police Chief. He takes over from Lamberto Giannini, who was appointed Prefect of Rome. From Catanzaro, 56, Pisani last February had been appointed Prefect and placed out of office at the Council presidency. In 2021, then Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese had already entrusted him with the deputy directorate of Aisi, the domestic intelligence service. From 1999 to 2004, he served as Coordinating Officer for organized crime investigations and fugitive search at the police's Central Operations Service. Always in the forefront of crime fighting, from 1990 to 1999, Pisani was Officer in charge of several investigative sections of the Naples Mobile Squad. In 1998 he was promoted by extraordinary merit to the rank of Deputy Commissioner for a major police operation against the Camorra, namely the capture of the fugitive leaders of the notorious Secondigliano Alliance. In 2004 he became Head of the Naples Mobile Squad and became famous for the arrest of Casalesi superlatitant bosses Antonio Iovine and Michele Zagaria. The story was also told in a RAI TV drama entitled 'Undercover'. In those years, however, the supercop ended up under investigation for aiding and abetting and revealing official secrets. It will be the verdicts, which will clear him of all charges, that will write the final word on the case.
