REGGIO CALABRIA According to the collaborators of justice "the "rogue priest" did not disdain to have relations with Giovanni Copelli, brother-in-law of the boss Giuseppe Piromalli" and "he had the role of acting as a peacemaker between the criminal consortia, working to settle the conflicts". Religious, political, close to deviant Masonic circles, that of Don Giuseppe Strangio is a complex story.

The Gotha trial dissolved - in the first instance judgment - the doubt about the bad reputation of the priest of San Luca: a stigma linked to the Sanlucote origins or a path pushed beyond the border between the exercise of the Faith and neighborly relations with the mafia houses? For the Court of Reggio Calabria, the criminal hypothesis ascribed to the defendant is "widely integrated". Which would be "fully inserted in the intertwining existing between the criminal families of the San Luca area" and "in the dynamics of the opposition of the two groups Nirta-Strangio and Pelle-Vottari". The parish priest of that sanctuary for years dirtied by links with the 'Ndrangheta would have had a "strategic role (...) of peacemaker in the conflicts between the criminal consortia". A frontier priest in the bad sense of the term, where the border often borders on relationships with mafia families. History that has its roots in a distant era, one in which the gangs of Locride made the leap: from coppola and lupara to millionaire investments..
