That sucks DM, it is a funny story to read.

carmela, as to who is running Palermo these days, it is hard to tell. Benedetto Caprize was nominated as the head of the commission when he was on house arrest, but wiretaps and notes that have been confiscated, that were passed from one mafia boss to another, indicating that at least half of mafia bosses of the Palermo province were wondering why Caprize was picked. I read that acting boss of the Bagheria family, Giuseppe Scaduto served as a buffer between those that were for and against Caprize getting the nomination. All this was back in 08'.

Now five years later, it is still hard to say, as Salvatore Buscemi of Passo di Rigano is said to have gained a lot of influence and is a strong contender. He and Torretta boss Vincenzo Brusca are both said to be strong supporters of having the exiled Inzerillo family to return to Sicily. Another boss that is said to be growing powerful is Luigi Caravello of Noce. Maybe Caravello can bring the power back to Noce again, but who knows, all of these are just rumors.

One thing I find funny about the media is when they call Denaro "The boss of bosses". Only a mafia boss with the strongest family from the province of Palermo can be called that. Matteo is from the province of Trapani and can not hold that title, if indeed the mafia clans of Sicily did bring back that title.
