According to the turncoat Sergio Macaluso (acting boss of Resuttana 'mandamento'), some months before the death of Toto Riina last year, a new provincial and probably regional commission of Cosa Nostra was formed. Paolo Calcagno, acting boss of Porta Nuova 'mandamento' and Filippo Bisconti, acting boss of Misilmeri 'mandamento', said him they were going to be part of the new-born provincial commission.
Was formed? So that means Sicilian Mafia have functionable commission again ? Yes this is pretty big, because the cupola hasn´t met since the arrest of Riina in 1993. Now it seems the recent years were full of summits and meetings. The new Dome exists. It meets and makes important decisions. Riina was the only leader able to summon it. During the last months of life of the godfather someone decided to move overtaking him.

As police focuses more on 'Ndrangheta , Sicilian mafia will be able to gain some of power they lost.

Police blitz, the organization acted with threats and extortion, including drug trafficking among its criminal activities
Thanks to a dense criminal network they would have monopolized the Syracuse fruit and vegetable market. In the early hours of the morning the police blitz. Mafia criminal association aimed at extortion, trafficking of drugs, thefts in homes and farms. These are the accusations made in various ways to the 19 people against whom the investigating judge of the court of Catania has ordered the arrest. The investigation activity, carried out by the Syracuse mobile team, with the help of the police in Catania, has made it possible to ascertain the operations in the territories of the southern part of the province, where a criminal gropu, thanks to the intimidation force exercised by its members, it had monopolized and conditioned the entire fruit and vegetable market in the area. Illicit activities also involved extortion, the trafficking of drugs, the commission of theft to homes and farms.

The Palermo mobster Giovanni Lucchese, 46 years old, nephew of Giuseppe Lucchese, known as Lucchiseddu, fierce killer of Cosa nostra, author of dozens of murders, brother-in-law of the mafia boss Pietro Tagliavia and son of Nino, convicted mafia boss, has begun to collaborate with justice. The wife of the repentant, Rosalinda Tagliavia, refused protection, not sharing her husband's choice. Both the Tagliavia and the Lucchese are families with strong mafia traditions. Giovanni Lucchese was arrested on July 19, 1997 in a police and financial police blitz after the investigation by the Palermo prosecutor, who lifted the veil on the new organization charts and affairs of the powerful thug in the Palermo neighborhood of Brancaccio.

In the Cold Case of the murder of the businessman Diego Passafiume a man was arrested. Filippo Sciara, 54, is considered a member of the mafia family of Siculiana (Ag), involved in the kidnapping of little Giuseppe Di Matteo. Passafiume, an honest 41-year-old entrepreneur in the earth-moving sector, had been killed on the day of his wedding anniversary, August 22, 1993, in Cianciana, a small town in Agrigento.
