Matteo Messina Denaro is the cornerstone of criminal and political interests, of unmentionable plots. In 30 years on the run he has also woven the web of relationships with the other most powerful criminal organizations in Italy, the Neapolitan Camorra and the Calabrian 'ndrina. The superboss, godfather of Castelvetrano, arrested on the morning of Monday 16 January, during his long 'criminal career', had relationships with various members of the clans of the Neapolitan Camorra. In particular, the Neapolitan clan that has had the closest relations with the now ex-fugitive is that of the Nuvoletta di Marano . Relations of interests, especially in the field of drugs and betting, as evidenced by some raids carried out in recent years. Relations between the Camorra and Messina Denaro In 2016 drug trafficking was discovered between Naples and Palermo, a loyalist of the fugitive boss Matteo Messina Denaro was also arrested in the blitz. According to what was reconstructed, the latter had periodically gone to Marano to the home of an unsuspecting businessman to deliver him large sums of money. A few days after these trips, the supplier, via a courier, had sent large quantities of drugs to the Sicilian capital. The boss' loyalist had already been arrested for having "lent" his identity to the fugitive boss who, for months, would go around with his documents. The collaborator of justice Salvatore Grigoli had also spoken about him. He had indicated him as a trusted man of the Trapani mafia boss who spent part of his hiding in Bagheria and its surroundings in the early 1990s.
In 2018, as part of the 'Revolutionbet 2' investigation by the Catania prosecutor's office on the mafia and online betting, subjects linked both to Matteo Messina Denaro , including his nephew, and people attributable to the Camorra 'family' of the Nuvolettas were arrested by Marano.
Relations with the Casalesi Relations between the Casalesi and the Sicilian mafia were also strong, and therefore also with Messija Denaro. In 2019 he emerged according to the repentant Emanuele Merendathat Matteo Messina Denaro would also have found refuge in Veneto. And he would have been the guest of a Palermitan involved in the investigation by the Venice Dda into the infiltrations of the Casalesi in Ercalea. The "boss of bosses" would have been housed in a cellar in the municipality of Treviso. At the time of the statements, the lawyer of the person involved had defined Merenda's statements as "without any confirmation, also given the recent ruling by the Collegiate Court of Pordenone which in fact considered him unreliable" and maintained that his client "did not never hosted, nor in any way favored, the fugitive of any boss of criminal associations”; for the lawyer it would have been false accusations motivated by old grievances against his client. However, common interests between the two clans emerged in several blitzes,in the agri-food, transport and construction fields.
The existence of the super dome In January 2015, the collaborator of justice Antonino Fiume, speaking in the context of the 'Ndrangheta massacre trial, told of the existence of a super-dome based in Milan, a "consortium" which included the leaders of 'Ndrangheta, Camorra, Sacred crown united and environments attributable to Cosa nostra (also of the current of the boss of bosses Totò Riina and therefore of the Corleonesi).
Another super-repentant of Cosa nostra, Giovanni Brusca , also spoke in that trial . According to the latter, the mafia gave Matteo Messina Denaro the task of convincing the Camorra and, specifically, the Nuvoletta di Marano (affiliated with Cosa nostra, ed) to participate in the massacre project against the State, then completed with the attacks against judges Falcone and Borsellino.
