He has created a web site with news and countercultural information. He collaborated with journalist Antonella Beccaria to write a book about his experiences with the 1996 case. The book, published by Stampa Alternativa publishing house under the title "Bambini di Satana – processo al diavolo i reati mai commessi di Marco Dimitri" (process against the devil of crimes never committed by Marco Dimitri), and with a preface by crime-writer Carlo Lucarelli, is licensed as copyleft and distributed free on the Internet. Marco Dimitri is intent that the abuse must be uncovered and pursued. In August 2012 Dimitri joined the Italian reformist party Democrazia Atea (DA). The party, led by astrophysicist Margherita Hack, shares Dimitri's disestablishmentarian views. In February 2013 he became the DA's candidate from Roma's district Lazio 2 for The Italian Parliament. A move that generated a lot of controversy and media coverage.
