Two years of hearings
In the trial, which began in October 2023, over 100 witnesses were heard : 35 officers serving with the State Police, the SCO of Rome and the Police Headquarters of Cosenza and Catanzaro; 75 soldiers serving with the Carabinieri Legion "Calabria", Provincial Command of Cosenza, Operations Department, Investigative Unit and Radiomobile Operations Unit; 27 officers serving with the Guardia di Finanza of Cosenza (Economic-Financial Police Unit-Mobile Section) and Reggio Calabria (Special Currency Police Unit).
Numerous collaborators of justice were also questioned. From Celestino Abbruzzese alias Micetto and linked to the " Banana " clan of Cosenza to his wife Anna Palmieri , from Franco Bruzzese to Luciano Impieri . Men and women, once considered an integral part of the Bruzia criminal galaxy, today called to tell - in detail - the evolution of the associations operating in the province of Cosenza and belonging to the alleged " Confederation ". A thesis that of the unitary nucleus of the 'ndrangheta groups supported by the prosecution, but firmly rejected by the boss from Cosenza Francesco Patitucci . The former head of the " Italians " clan, in a hearing of the trial arising from the " Bianco e Nero " investigation made spontaneous statements and denied any charge linked to his role in the criminal "syndicate" . Of a different opinion, however, the repentant Daniele Lamanna according to whom " the Confederation was active until 2014 ".
The abbreviated procedure
A first judicial verdict had already been issued against those who opted for the proceedings celebrated with the abbreviated rite and at the end of which the preliminary hearing judge, Fabiana Giacchetti, had decided to sentence 82 defendants to ten centuries, also ordering 37 acquittals. The head of the alleged Confederation of the mala bruzia would be none other than « Francesco Patitucci », for the boss – today in 41 bis – the sentence inflicted in the abbreviated trial is 20 years .
According to the prosecution, he would be « the authoritative and undisputed reference for all the associates of the 'ndrangheta confederation operating in the city and in the hinterland of Cosenza, having assumed over time the highest 'ndrangheta qualities corresponding to that of “company boss” ». A pivotal figure and capable of acting as a glue between the various groups, as a mediator in the thorniest issues and ready to delegate when necessary to his « dolphin », Roberto Porcaro . Even for the former collaborator of justice, the sentence in the abbreviated form is 20 years.
The same sentence was also issued against some members of the “ Zingari ” clan better known as “ Banana ”. These are Antonio Abbruzzese (born in 1984) , Luigi Abbruzzese , Marco Abbruzzese and Andrea Greco known as “U Tupinaru”.
The twists and turns
The “ Reset ” trial has featured numerous twists and turns. Above all, the repentance followed by sensational about-faces first by Danilo Turboli and then by Roberto Porcaro , both linked to the “ Italiani ” clan. The two, after having filled entire interrogation reports given before the District magistrates, accusing each other of numerous illicit conducts, have recanted, claiming that they have invented stories far from reality. Those who have chosen to continue their path of collaboration with justice are Ivan Barone and Francesco Greco .
