They had even managed to make the boss Matteo Messina Denaro nervous because they had not informed him that Mimmo Raccuglia, the mafia boss of Altofonte, was hiding in the province of Trapani. The former Scarlet Pimpernel of Cosa Nostra - who died on 25 September in L'Aquila hospital - who had managed to evade capture for 30 years, went into a rage when he learned that another man of honor had chosen precisely the his own territory to escape the police. 15 years after that episode - Raccuglia was caught in November 2009 in Calatafimi-Segesta, after 13 years on the run - Giovan Battista Badalamenti, one of the undisputed and historic leaders of the Torretta mafia family, but resident for some time in the United States, and his nephew Salvatore Prestigiacomo, also an affiliate who maintained relations with his overseas cousins, still talked about it, showing fear and respect for the Castelvetrano boss. The two ended up, together with five other people and ten members of the New York mafia, in the raid that began after international police and FBI investigations.
