MAFIA MEZZOMONREALE-VILLA TASCA Mafia, "democratic politics" and the "statute written by the founding fathers": here are the rules of the bosses The existence of a code also emerges from the blitz against the Rocca Mezzomonreale clan, mentioned during a summit. Precisely by virtue of the rules Gioacchino Badagliacca would have wanted to oust the elderly Antonino Anello: "When he was young he wanted to be a driver for the magistrates"
The kiss between Gioacchino Badagliacca and Michele Saitta
"There is the statute written by the founding fathers". Boss Pietro Badagliacca was certainly not referring to the Constitution, but to the Cosa Nostra code. And it is to this document (which brings to mind the sheet with the mafia rules found almost 16 years ago in the hideout of the "baron" of San Lorenzo, Salvatore Lo Piccolo, at the time of his arrest) and to the fundamental "principles" of the organization which was invoked during a heated summit in which the ouster of another arrested by the carabinieri, the old "Ninì", or Antonino Anello, would also be discussed. The result was almost a discourse of mafia politics, in which the younger Gioacchino Badagliacca claimed the "democratic" regime in force in the organization and its alleged "solidarity" ends:
The boss who wanted to be a driver for the magistrates A background of the blitz carried out yesterday by the carabinieri against the Rocca Mezzomonreale clan, which mixes good and bad and, in fact, overturns all values. So much so that one of the "faults" accused of the elderly Ninì Anello was that of having hypothesized in his youth - today he is 82 years old, therefore at least sixty years ago - of participating in a competition for judicial chauffeurs: "He must participate in the competition to bring the car to the magistrate - said Gioacchino Badagliacca, staunch supporter of the need to oust the mafioso - should he jump or not? Can you imagine our friend the driver to the magistrate?".
"I have been an affiliate since May 22, 2017" From the order of the investigating judge Lirio Conti, who accepted the arguments of the deputy prosecutor Paolo Guido and of the deputies Dario Scaletta, Federica La Chioma and Bruno Brucoli, who coordinate the investigation, the date of affiliation to the Cosa nostra of Gioacchino Badagliacca also emerges. because he himself, during the meeting, said it: 22 May 2017 (the date on which, moreover, the boss Giuseppe Dainotti was killed in via D'Ossuna), while his uncle Pietro boasted of having been the representative of the clan since 11 October 1982. The ease with which the suspects spoke shows that they had no idea of ??being wiretapped.
The bosses against Totò Riina: "He consumed all things" "I didn't send him away because he might repent" Gioacchino Badagliacca was pursuing his cause to dismiss Anello, also recalling another fault of his: "My parrinu has stolen their belongings... We all went crazy because they brought vans full of things... He didn't give them the keys to brother ra n'ammurata?". It is also serious that "Ninì" had been present at his combination: "Ninì - Badagliacca said again - was present at my combination, this is a serious thing, because you shouldn't have allowed it", he reproached his uncle Pietro. Who in turn replied: "You can't put him out, he must always be kept at a distance ... They met him first at the Pagliarelli at all bans, I didn't introduce him to anyone ... He was present at your combination because you took me there to him and rightly whoever picked me up when you sent me to pick me up was at Ninì's house... It was a restricted affair because we can't move, we were in a hut ", thus justifying the fact of not having invited even Pasquale and Michele Saitta, the unsuspected entrepreneurs who would have been - according to the prosecutor's office - confidential affiliates. And then he added: "He says: 'But why did you keep it? If it hadn't been your business (of the Saittas,ed ), because I don't want to scandalize him, who knows this will come out crazy (he repents, ed )."
The "democratic" line of Cosa Nostra and the statute But Pietro Badagliacca in turn reproached his nephew Gioacchino, underlining the hierarchies: "To begin with, lower your voice, I have to raise my voice" and the other defended instead the alleged "democratic" line of Cosa nostra: "You owe me say that you alone have to raise your voice, that's how they taught me: we are the same thing!", but my uncle commented: "The same thing like this, there is a principal!". And it is precisely at this point that Pietro Badagliacca referred to the "statute" of Cosa nostra, "a written document in which - the investigators explain - the 'founding fathers of Cosa nostra' would have noted the principles and cardinal rules of the organization, which have evidently remained unchanged over the years". The suspect said in fact: "There
The bosses were preparing the murder of an architect The code found in Salvatore Lo Piccolo's hideout The investigators believe it is the sheet found in Salvatore Lo Piccolo's hideout when he was arrested in November 2007. A "typewritten sheet which - according to the court - is the constitutional charter of Cosa Nostra, a few dozen lines are enough to sanction a project of continuity with the association of the 70s and 80s described by Tommaso Buscetta and crystallized in the sentence that concluded the first Maxiprocesso against the Sicilian mafia", noting that "that sheet is only one face, the one that repeats itself over time, the The other changes expression according to the moment".
"I am ready to die for my dignity" Hence the outburst of Gioacchino Badagliacca and the exposition of his vision: "Someone says;: 'No, it's a principle!', for me it is always an interest. Everyone then sees things at their own... Here everyone of the rest of us have dignity, there are even Christians to say that they combine to say, for me the figure of a man of honor is a man of honor! A person of integrity inside, I have never believed in Cosa nostra for the purpose of profit, I have always thought of noble principles, for me this is what Cosa Nostra is, I have always believed in it from the bottom of my heart and I did 10 years in prison, each of us has a dignity, the honor he can lose it because a sister goes crazy, a mother goes crazy, a wife goes crazy, I say one can fix it but a stain always remains, but no one can remove dignity,whoever doesn't have it can't take it away from anyone, I'm ready to die for my dignity".
