According to foreign media, it is a shock to show how Roberto Spada, an acquaintance with the gym, responded with a blow to Italian television journalist Daniele Pierbinzi before attacking him even with a metal pipe.

Daniele, who works for the broadcaster Rai, was left with a broken nose following the horror attack that was captured by the cameras.

Roberto Spada is a prominent clan who has faced charges of drugs and corruption in Ostia, west of Rome. His brother is the local crime chief, Carmine Spada.

He was part of an investigation into the fascist Cassopund group, which Spada was accused of supporting.
