The working section of the Palermo review court annulled the custody order and released Massimo Mulè, head of the Porta Nuova mafia district, subjected to detention, with another 50 people, on December 4 last year, as part of the operation Cupola 2.0, on the attempt to reconstitute the commission of Cosa nostra, so as to return to ensure coordination between the districts of Palermo and the province. Mulè, assisted by lawyers Giovanni Castronovo and Marco Clementi, had already obtained a first cancellation with referral to the Court of Cassation on 2 April.

The wait in court and the offenses
The boss "saved" by the repentant

by Riccardo Lo Verso

Palermo. Nino Rotolo wanted the student to die , but something happened

PALERMO - He had to die, but the words of the repentant have saved his life indirectly. New details emerge on the death plan that a few years ago had been planned to eliminate Salvatore Sorrentino, nicknamed the studentino , arrested last December on the charge of having become the right-hand man of Settimo Mineo, Pagliarelli's mafia boss. From the possible death to the return to the field, after having finished serving a sentence

Justice collaborator Vito Galatolo dell'Acquasanta , who had already talked about the affair, added new details. Sorrentino had been involved in robbery, so he was put in charge of the mafia family of the Santa Rosalia Village. He was close to Nino Rotolo, boss of Pagliarelli who dictated the law from his villa to the Editor after having managed to get himself arrested by pretending to be sick.

The rumor of Sorrentino's betrayal had spread and Salvatore Lo Piccolo , the baron of San Lorenzo, had passed into the army . In the war between Pagliarelli's boss and Lo Piccolo, the studentine had chosen to take sides with the second.

The background reconstructed by Galatolo would have happened at the Palace of Justice in Palermo : "... we were in court at the Palermo court and there was Sandro, Sandrino and there was Franco Inzerillo (Alessandro Mannino and Francesco Inzerillo were both recently arrested in the blitz against the district of Passo di Rigano, ed) ... we had a trial for our own business and there was Sorrentino, Salvino, a man of honor of Pagliarelli's family ... who then went ... contrasted with Nino Rotolo ”.

What happened? "Sandrino was shocked Sandrino Mannino by the words that came out of Rosario (wrong name, ed) Sorrentino said cuckold and cop ... to Nino Rotolo ... because Sorrentino betrayed the Rotoliani, he left with the Lo Piccoliani betrayed them in prison ... ".

Everything was ready for the ambush, but there was a change of program: ".... because doctor (Galatolo turns to the public prosecutor, ed) today unfortunately the declarations when they come out in the newspapers they don't give the confirmation to a collaborator of justice what he says, because Rosario Sorrentino had to die like Fabio Scimò (recently arrested on charges of having become the strong man in Brancaccio, ed) ... they had to die ... since then they go out ... they come to know and then if they do they confirm that what a person, a collaborator says ... ".

The reference could be to the words of Francesco Franzese and Antonino Nuccio, repented of the San Lorenzo clan, who already in 2008 told that a mafia war was about to break out. And Sorrentino was on the list of those who had to die at the hands of Nino Rotolo.

Still Galatolo: "Sandrino Mannino was shocked , but don't tell her these things, you tell us about them but don't tell them why they kill you he says ... you are a person now .. you go out you know where to go to find here on the other side ... then they arrested the Lo Piccolo and this Salvino rightly ... in prison we say he stayed out of there and out of here ... eh they managed to take him again slowly and take him in the district let's say. .. if Nino Rotolo was out, Dr. had killed him ... ".

Sorrentino not only remained alive, but he has also carved out a leading role in the new mafia, alongside Settimo Mineo, the elderly boss who presided over the meeting of the new dome.

The public prosecutor Marcello Musso was run over and killed on the bike: he had Totò Riina condemned
„
Overwhelmed and killed on the bike the prosecutor who had Totò Riina condemned and fought against the Corleonese
Marcello Musso was 67 years old. He began working in Sicily: a battle against the mafia which then continued in the North, in Milan. For a long time he had questioned the gotha ​​of Cosa Nostra (Brusca, Madonia, Giuffrè)

Musso at the court of Milan - Photo Ansa

He was run over by a car. And there was nothing for him to do. Marcello Musso, prosecutor of the Milan court, also known for having sentenced Totò Riina to court, died yesterday afternoon in a tragic accident that occurred on the road connecting Agliano and Costigliole d'Asti, in Piedmont. Musso, 67, was riding his bike when - around 4 pm - he was hit right in the middle of a car, a Fiat Stilo whose driver immediately stopped. It seems that the prosecutor turned at an intersection and that the impact occurred at that point, just a stone's throw from the house of the magistrate's mother, who was there on vacation.

To help the 67-year-old a medical team also arrived on board a 118 helicopter, but for the magistrate there was nothing to do. The driver was immediately given the alcohol test, as required by law: according to what was learned from MilanoToday , it turned out to be negative.

Who was Marcello Musso
Originally from Asti and "peasant in the soul", as he himself liked to call himself, Musso had started working in Sicily, fighting the Corleonese: a battle that then continued in the North, in Milan, from where he had managed to convict to the life sentence Totò Riina, the chief of chiefs.

On 15 September 2006, Marcello Musso heard Giovanni Brusca as witness. From there the investigations of the investigators started on a series of mafia murders that took place in Milan between 1987 and 1992. Period in which the leaders of Cosa Nostra decided, according to the investigation, to eliminate some Mafia exponents who were creating "problems" in the Lombard capital. Brusca, reconstructing the facts that led to the murder of Alfio Trovato, killed in May '92 in Via Palmanova (with Riina another affiliate was also accused), he reiterated that the principal was what he himself called the "chief of chiefs" and number one".

Marcello Musso has long questioned the gotha ​​of Cosa Nostra (not only Brusca, also Madonia, Giuffrè) to find evidence for the claims of a repentant from Gela who decided to collaborate. And it is thanks to Musso that he was certified as Milan was a capital of the Sicilian mafia. To the point that Totò Riina boasted about it with his loyalists stating "Milan is in our hands". Thus a patient investigation by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of the Lombard capital gave the names to principals and executors of a dozen murders that bloodied the city in the 1980s. Faide and settling of accounts for stories of drugs, money, kidnappings that flowed into the enormous power that the Corleonese mafia exercised in the suburbs and in the economic and political heart of the city.

The president of Argentina, Mauricio Macri, was investigated with his father, the late Franco Macri, and the rest of the family, by the famous Italian judge who investigated in depth the Cosa Nostra (Sicilian criminal secret society), Giovanni Falcone. The magistrate arrived in Argentina to conduct research on the powerful business family in 1992 and died shortly after, killed by the mafia.

PALERMO
From the dome to the kid's head
New Mafia, the army of 64

mafia arrests, mafia carabinieri blitz, mafia dome, mafia suspects list, new palermo dome investigation, boss palermo meetings, palermo mafia, new mafia palermo, Chronicle
Settimo Mineo's arrest

The Palermo Public Prosecutor has notified the notice of the conclusion of the investigation


PALERMO - The suspects are 64. What will soon arrive in front of the judge for the preliminary hearing will be the trial of the new Palermo mafia.

The notice of the conclusion of the investigation was born from the blitz of the carabinieri last December, called "Cupola 2.0", which stopped the new provincial commission of Cosa Nostra. Following the bosses the carabinieri traced the map of the mafia .

The mafia bosses gathered in May 2018 in a Boccadifalco building. Presiding over the Mafia assembly was Settimo Mineo, boss of Pagliarelli. At his side were Gregorio Di Giovanni of Porta Nuova, Francesco Colletti of Villabate, Leandro Greco of Ciaculli (he is the grandson of Michele Greco, the 'pope' of the old mafia), Giovanni Sirchia of Passo di Rigano, Calogero Lo Piccolo of Saint Lawrence. Filippo Bisconti di Belmonte Mezzagno was also part of the dome which, like Colletti, has chosen to collaborate with justice.

From the plots of the post-Riina commission to the choice of who should decorate the simulacrum in the days of the Good Friday procession, up to the kid's head placed in the house of a merchant who didn't want to pay the lace. The investigation by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit, coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Salvatore De Luca, and by substitutes Bruno Brucoli, Francesca Mazzocco and Dario Scaletta, is a cauldron that contains the strategies of the new mafia and the daily management of the territory. The silences of the traders ended up in it, but also the spontaneous rebellion of the building contractor Giuseppe Piraino who filmed the man who asked him for the lace .

In the new map of the Mafia to Pagliarelli , apart from that of Mineo, the figures of Salvatore Sorrentino (head of the mafia family of the Villaggio Santa Rosalia) and Filippo Annatelli (head of the Corso Calatafimi family) would stand out.

At Porta Nuova Gaetano Leto would have made his way to the Cap or, while in the other market, Ballarò, the strong man would be Massimo Mulè (the Public Prosecutor's Office continues to challenge him as the leader despite the accusation that it fell to Riesame and Mulè was released). Gaspare Rizzuto would hold the Porta Nuova family, while Salvatore Pispicia, a cousin of Gregorio Di Giovanni, would have the job of spokesman for the chief.

To the orders of Calogero Lo Piccolo would have responded Giuseppe Serio, Erasmo Lo Bello and Carmelo Cacocciola. The accused Sergio Macaluso and Domenico Mammi from Resuttana have accused themselves of being part of the new mafia.

Alongside Bisconti, Belmonte Mezzagno would have been Salvatore Sciarabba (who would have been in charge of the district) and Giovanni Salvatore Migliore, while Colletti in Villabate could count on the loyalty of Filippo Cusimano (his trusted driver), Francesco Caponetto (Villabate family) ), Vincenzo Sucato (Misilmeri family), Francesco Antonino Fumuso (Villabate), Stefano Polizzi (Bolognetta).

The army of men of honor would complete with names Salvatore Troia (Villabate). Notice of conclusion of the investigation also for Antonio Giovanni Maranto of San Mauro Castelverde.

Of extortion they answer Giusto Amodeo and Giusto Francesco Mangiapane of Misilmeri, Simone La Barbera of Mezzojuso, Pietro Lo Sicco of Capaci, Giusto Alaimo of Villabate, Giusto Giordano of Misilmeri. Salvatore Ferrante responds to threats: it was he, along with Troia, who placed a kid's head in the home of an entrepreneur from Trabia. Salvatore Ingenio and Francesco Gambino answered abetting because they would have denied having received extortion requests. Giovanna Comito and Umberto Maiorana are under investigation for fictitious heading of assets: they would have put themselves at the disposal of Salvatore Mirino, so that, through the intervention of Andrea Mirino, they would shield the property of a bakery in Via Carmelo Onorato.

Now all the suspects can present defensive memories or ask to be questioned. Then the prosecutor will ask for the trial to be adjourned and the decision will pass into the hands of the judge for the preliminary hearing who will decide whether or not to send them to trial.

New dome of the mafia, another mysterious boss at the summit in Palermo
08 September 2019
dome 2.0, mafia, Francesco Colletti, Palermo, Chronicle
The collaborator of Justice Francesco Colletti
Another mysterious boss appears at the summit on May 29th last year to rebuild the Cosa Nostra Provincial Commission . The collaborator of justice and former chief of the Villabate Francesco Colletti, who regretted himself a few days after his arrest in December with the operation of the Carabinieri Cupola 2.0, unveiled the name, although at the moment it was not disclosed.

From the statements not classified by the prosecutors of the DDA, coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Salvatore De Luca, as Sandra Figliuolo writes in the Giornale di Sicilia on newsstands , some clues emerge to identify him: according to Colletti he would have been the chief of staff of Passo di Rigano , the house in which happened the meeting (perhaps in Baida) would have been "his or someone close to him", is a boss who has been "for so long in prison".

During the Sicilian mafia’s peak who were the top bosses besides Riina and did they answer to him? I think someone like Michele Greco or Pippo Calo could have been making just as much money in partnership with Riina in the heroin trade.

You couldn't do a thing without Riina approval,everyone answered to Riina. Michele Greco was Riinas puppet.

Was it because people feared Riina’s brutality and henchmen or because he had so many connections and so much money? He had a monopoly on the heroin trade at one time so it is safe to say that Riina and Leggio both had millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions. Most of it taken by the government surely.

You either listened to Riina or you end up dissolved in acid. He appointed his puppets in all families,if he felt like he is not able to control you fully , you are dead.

But again everyone are blaming only Riina for murders of politicians/judges/state officials,he was just doing what he was told,just did the dirty work.Its same when 2012 Matteo Messina Denaro was ordered to kill Nino Di Matteo, police managed to arrest them and stop them, at the end they are just doing the dirty work.

because of his brutality, riina was probably the only true boss of bosses in mafia history, in the sense that he really commanded other bosses of the commission that they should have the same power although coordinated by a chairman

You either listened to Riina or you end up dissolved in acid. He appointed his puppets in all families,if he felt like he is not able to control you fully , you are dead.

But again everyone are blaming only Riina for murders of politicians/judges/state officials,he was just doing what he was told,just did the dirty work.Its same when 2012 Matteo Messina Denaro was ordered to kill Nino Di Matteo, police managed to arrest them and stop them, at the end they are just doing the dirty work.


How could people like Riina and Denaro ever be considered big and powerful bosses when they are really just doing the dirty work for more powerful people in their own country like you said? I think it would be hard for the Freemasons to take on the whole Sicilian mafia if they ever were at odds.

because of his brutality, riina was probably the only true boss of bosses in mafia history, in the sense that he really commanded other bosses of the commission that they should have the same power although coordinated by a chairman


Why is it that nobody could match him in brutality? I think it is because he was not heard of or seen while the Palermo bosses were more tangible to the public.

it's not like the freemasons go to the mafiosi and order them to do it, they just discuss and the mafia kills only if there is a convergence of interests and the freemasons return the favour... anyway it seems there is a super-cupola formed by both freemasons, secret services and mafia/ndrangheta/camorra/sacra corona bosses that rules the whole italy

There are a few witnesses that confirmed that , well back in 2012 and the whole Di Matteo situation, Matteo Messina Denaro just said to Palermo bosses "It must be done" and it had to be done with bomb in Rome or Palermo. According to informant order came from same people who ordered deaths of Falcone and Borsellino.

@Revis_Island: They need each other , freemasons/secret services need mafia to do dirty work for them , while mafia needs them for various other stuff.

where did you read it? i didn't know cosa nostra wanted to kill di matteo in 2012, anyway it would be very stupid to do it because the ones behind the previous slaughters (politicians/ freemasons/ secret services or whoever) did not eliminate 41 bis and other things riina wanted... and why the hell ask cosa nostra if ndrangheta is supposed to be the most powerful nowadays?
politicians/freemasons need the mafia also because it controls tons of votes, especially in the south

That is the same thing i wonder,why would they ask Sicilian mafia for that instead of 'Ndrangheta.

Vito Galatolo a pentito said order came directly from Matteo Messina Denaro , plan failed because police found out about it and arrested Palermo bosses, explosive were never found.

That makes more sense to me. Equal power but they both use each other for their respective strong suits.
