Even if buried by life sentences and hundreds of years in prison, they have always been under investigation and for this reason forced to exercise maniacal caution, they have never renounced the mafia "faith".

A criminal dynasty that of Messina Denaro, historic mafia family of Castelvetrano that today with the arrest of Rosalia, sister of the ex fugitive Matteo loses another piece.

In the beginning it was Don Ciccio, the undisputed boss of the district, who died on the run. His body, ready for burial, was found on November 30, 1998 on the street after an anonymous call to the police.
Don Ciccio had four daughters and two sons. Of the males, the designated heir to the top of the family, Matteo, was captured on January 16 after a 30-year hunt.
The other, Salvatore, the eldest, released from prison in 2006 after serving a sentence for the mafia, was re-arrested on the same charges in 2010. It didn't go any better for the daughters and for the rest of the family: Patrizia, sentenced in definitively of 16 years for mafia association and her husband Vincenzo Panicola; Rosario Allegra, husband of Giovanna, died in his cell and Gaspare Como, husband of Bice, is detained at 41 bis. Today it was Rosalia's turn.
