Mafia Boss, five henchmen, and Freemasonry figures sentenced in Licata. Final sentences for the boss Occhipinti and five others. A pharmacist and an official cleared. And a new appeal process arranged for four other defendants.

[translated from Italian]

Six convictions become definitive, for another 4 defendants a second appeal process will be necessary. The Cassation sets another firm point after the "Halycon-Siege" operation which uncovered an intertwining between the mafia, politics and deviated Freemasonry. The blitz was triggered between July and August 2019.
The judges annulled the sentences against Lucio Lutri, originally from Mistretta, 64, a regional official and grand master of Freemasonry, and Angelo Lauria, 49, a pharmacist from Licata. Both had been sentenced on appeal to 8 years' imprisonment and have now been released from prison. Lutri is accused of external competition in a mafia association.
Sentences annulled (but only limited to the quantification of the sentence) also for Raimondo Sempervivo, 51, alleged right-hand man of the boss Angelo Occhipinti, 69, and for Giuseppe Puleri, 43, believed to be a member of the mafia family of Campobello di Licata: the penalty it will be recalculated taking into account generic extenuating circumstances.
Instead, 6 sentences become definitive: 20 years and 4 months for Angelo Occhipinti (in the photo), considered the new boss of Licata; 8 years to Vito Lauria, 53-year-old computer technician, Freemason, son of the boss Giovanni (alias «u prufissuri»); Angelo Graci; 35 years, 2 years and 6 months' imprisonment for aggravated personal aiding and abetting; 8 years and 10 months in prison for Giovanni Mugnos, a 56-year-old labourer, considered the "alter ego" of boss Giovanni Lauria; 2 years and 4 months, however, for the electrician Marco Massaro, 38, accused of aggravated aiding and abetting for having revealed to Mugnos the existence of bugging devices inside his car.
