MILAN There are representatives of Cosa Nostra, the 'Ndrangheta and the Camorra , names linked to historic families, old clans and 'ndrine that are hegemonic even in Northern Italy. Here where they have put down roots for decades, moving in the shadows and "squeezing" economic and entrepreneurial activities.
The District Anti-Mafia Commission of Milan, represented by Deputy Prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti, has closed the "Hydra" investigation into 146 people, more than a year and a half after the first arrests ( HERE THE NEWS ) and after having reconstructed an investigation "dismantled" almost piece by piece by the investigating judge.
A major investigation that aims to shed light on a criminal system that, in order to conquer a very rich territory, would have joined forces, creating the "Lombardy Mafia System" , being able to rely on families with criminal experiences behind them certified by arrests and final sentences, also making use of the classic force of intimidation deriving from the associative bond and the condition of subjugation and silence in the territory of the cities of Milan, Varese and surrounding areas.

18 'ndrangheta locations in Milan
The Calabrian 'ndrangheta, active in Milan and the Milanese hinterland for years now, is said to have managed to set up 18 premises: Bollate, Bresso, Ganzo, Cormano, Carsico, Desio, Erba, Legnano-Lonate Pozzolo, Limbiate, Mariano Comense, Milan, Pavia, Pioltello, Seregno and Solaro. All coordinated by a body called "Lombardy", in which Cosimo Barranca, until 15 August 2007, then Carmelo Novella, until his murder on 14 July 2008 and, finally, Pasquale Zappia, until his arrest, played a leading role over time. "Lombardy", therefore, is to all intents and purposes a body charged with granting "positions" and "qualities" to its members, according to pre-established hierarchies, and authorizing the opening of new "premises" and establishing the new strategies of the mafia association.

Calabrian families in Milan
The “Hydra” investigation, therefore, would have shed light first of all on the Legnano-Lonate Pozzolo club, considered allied and in any case connected to the Farao-Marincola gang of Cirò , represented in Milan, according to the DDA, by Vincenzo Rispoli, Massimo Rosi, Giacomo Cristello, Francesco Bellusci and Pasquale Filomeno Toscano. And then the Iamonte gang, part of the Desio club, allied with the Melito Porto Salvo gang and, finally, Antonio Romeo, an expression in Milan of the Romeo “Staccu” family operating in the San Luca area, son of Filippo Romeo. The Milan Anti-Mafia would have documented a series of crimes committed by members of the “Lombardy Mafia System”, including robberies, fraud, money laundering, fictitious registrations, false invoicing for non-existent transactions, transfers of false tax credits and extortion. The crime of drug trafficking was also contested. In particular, according to the prosecution, the association aimed at drug trafficking included Gioacchino Amico, Giuseppe Castiglia, Giuseppe Fiore, Pietro Mazzotta, Sergio Sanseverino, Giuseppe Sorce – all members of the “Senese” group and Massimo Rosi, from the 'ndrangheta local of Legnano-Lonate Pozzolo.

The “basin” and the votes
«(…) Calabrians, Neapolitans or Sicilians, prisoners must be supported before anything else in this world!». According to the prosecution, belonging to the “Lombard Mafia System” required «the payment of sums of money into the common fund intended for the support of the prisoners of each component», but also demands as compensation for the assignment and facilitation of legal or illegal business, «by virtue of the intimidating power of the entire association», according to the Milan Anti-Mafia District.
«All my relatives are here, now male and female, we have a nice package of votes, because I can bring Senators to Europe, my relatives» . Among the interests of the "System", also the political one, with the activation of "contacts with exponents of the political, institutional, business and banking world", so as to obtain favors, confidential information, provision of financing, network of relationships, "all capable of providing a significant contribution to the maintenance of the organization, strengthening it and increasing its prestige", according to the DDA.

Economic activities
Furthermore, as reconstructed by the investigation, the “Lombardy Mafia System” would have been able to directly and indirectly acquire the management and control of economic activities, in particular, in the logistics and construction sectors, but also in the healthcare sector, in e-commerce platforms, catering, car rental and management of airport parking, and the petrochemical sector and the import of ferrous materials.

The command line
As regards the 'ndrangheta, within the "Lombardy mafia system" the top elements would be Vincenzo Rispoli (class of '62) from Cirò Marina and Massimo Rosi (class of '68). The first, despite being in prison under the 41bis regime, would have managed "to give precise directives aimed at reconstituting the Legnano-Lonate Pozzolo premises", having Massimo Rosi receive, "through his son, a letter authorizing its reorganization". Rosi, for his part, considered the regent of the 'ndrangheta club of Legnano-Lanate Pozzolo and a member of the "Lombardy mafia system", allegedly organized and directed "all the activities aimed at reconstituting the club of Legnano-Lonate Pozzolo, through the enlistment and affiliation of new individuals, through the hiring of historical affiliates such as Armando Lerose, Pasquale Rienzi and others, sending and receiving communications to and from Calabria, functional to the coordination with the other clubs and the new affiliations". Rosi, again according to the prosecution, allegedly had a role of mediation and trait d'union "between the club and the other components that are part of the "Lombardy mafia system" and, in particular, with the Senese Camorra clan and the Cosa Nostra Rinzivillo family".
Another prominent element identified by the DDA, would be Santo Crea (class of '52) from Melito Porto Salvo, «an expression of the Iamonte gang belonging to the Desio club and connected to the Melito Porto Salvo club. Santo Crea, in particular, would have attributed to his son Filippo (class of '75) «the role of contact for the gang in Northern Italy», giving directives «to his son and to Demetrio Tripodi in relation to the various illicit economic-financial activities and the fictitious registrations» of the clan.
