A split department

After a night of clashes in which the inspector Pietro Fura and a protester are injured, driving the department Michele Nobili, former commander of the Senigallia mobile team is called. Nobili is an expression of a “reformist” vision of the State Police and soon clashes with men close to Fura, including “Mazinga” (Marco Giallini), an expression of an ancient settingmore oriented towards repression.

On this thin thread there is therefore an internal game of a state body; While an internal investigation falls on the Mazinga department, the team compacts defending its methods.
