To precipitate the situation, at the end of October, is the request for indictment of Lojacono (a fugitive) and Panzieri (detainee) for the Mantakas murder. A commando of the Armed Communist Formations, the group of former militants of the Workers’ Power who a few months later will go to found the Roman column of the Red Brigades, decides the immediate retaliation against the missina section of the Prenestino district, as the secretary, the leader of the Popular Struggle Luigi D’Addio. is one of the accusation texts in the trial.

On October 29, 1975, in the Prenestino district of Rome, two young people are about to enter the headquarters of the MS. The two young students are: Mario Zicchieri, about seventeen years old, and Marco Luchetti, fifteen years old. A light green Fiat 128 car arrives with three individuals on board. The driver remains in the driver’s seat with the engine running, while the other two men get out of the car embracing severed shotguns, with which they hit Zicchieri at the iliac fossa and the gluteal region and Luchetti in the legs and hands. Immediately after the assault, the two killers escape by car.

Years later the repentants will accuse Germano Maccari of the crime, but the right-hand man of Valerio Morucci, who had not yet been identified as the “fourth man” in the prison of the people of via Montalcini where Aldo Moro was kidnapped, gets by with an insufficiency of evidence.
