Of the two-year massacre 1992-1994, despite numerous investigations have reconstructed a large part of the historical and legal truth, we still don't know everything. In fact, there are still unknowns about the external principals and the co-interests that have moved behind Cosa Nostra and that have used the latter as a tool with which to bring the country to its knees. Furthermore, there are still shadows, doubts and questions about the presence and role of some female figures behind the massacres. Women who, in all likelihood, did not belong to mafia organizations, but who, despite this, played a role within a subversive project such as the massacres. "External" women who represent an anomaly in the history of the mafia. Yet, over time,
And this was the focus of the conference organized by "Dark Side - Secret History of Italy" last Friday 26 May in Vasanello, in the province of Viterbo, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the massacres "of the continent" in Rome, Florence and Milan. A conference - broadcast yesterday on their YouTube channel - in which the magistrate Gianfranco Donadio , the journalist Massimiliano Giannantoni and the criminologist Federico Carbone gave a cross-section on the "women of the massacres".
“ In those years there was no mafia attack on the state - said Donadio -. Cosa Nostra in the 90s did not have a terrorist strategy. If anything, it was suggested to them or even imposed, taking advantage of the bill that the mafia had to settle with some subjects like Falcone ”. “ In the research work I did with Federico Carbone, we realized that there were more than one women – said Giannantoni - . We were looking for the woman who left her DNA on a pair of latex gloves a few meters from the Capaci crater; we were looking for the woman seen in via Fauro before the explosion (site of the attack against Maurizio Costanzo on May 14th '93, ed .); we were looking for the woman in via dei Georgofili and the one seen in via Palestro. And we realized that there had been one line of inquiry involving several. And there were even military women reporting to SISMI who were Gladio trainers. And it is precisely from the world of Gladio that many of these women come ”. “ Gladio, it should be remembered, is a creature of NATO - recalled Federico Carbone - . And as such it places the interests of other countries within our own affairs. This becomes a very uncomfortable topic to deal with ”. And hence the presence and effectiveness within the attacks of " external structures which in some way may have favored with their work” the implementation of the massacre strategy.
As for the use of women in this project, “ it is an element that distances us from the operations of Cosa Nostra - continued the criminologist - . It's not part of the modus operandi. Placing the presence of a woman in those scenarios demonstrates the employment of external entities ”.
Thirty years later, on these facts, it is necessary to light a light and continue to investigate because the presence of women behind the massacres is frequent, just as the role of structures such as Gladio is more than evident and that, finally, 1993 is a year beyond singular way.

Fugitive son-in-law of a Porta Nuova boss arrested: he was hiding in a shop in Noce
Giovanni Priolo, a 43-year-old offender who has been on the run for 5 months, is married to the daughter of a prominent member of the mafia district. The carabinieri found him with a beard and long hair, in a relative's room. He had been sentenced to 6 years in prison for a robbery
He tried to change his appearance, letting his beard and hair grow, forging his identity documents and hiding in a relative's shop in La Noce. But it still didn't help, at least until now, because after five months on the run he was arrested. The carabinieri of the Monreale company, under the direction of the Termini Imerese prosecutor's office, had been looking for him since last January 3. After an articulated investigative activity, the circle was closed around him and his safety net.

Son-in-law of a prominent Mafioso yet he has to commit robberies for a living? Cosa Nostra must be on really hard times.

Blow to the Messina Denaro network, the arrests of 5 Trapani bosses confirmed
JUNE 22, 2023 - 8:08 PM
of editorial staff

The investigation started in 2017, when the Palermo DDA was working on the capture of the Cosa Nostra super-fugitive

The definitive arrests have taken place for five Trapani bosses who were part of Matteo Messina Denaro 's network, after the Cassation confirmed the precautionary measures that had already affected the mafia with a decision of the Court of Review of Palermo. Today 22 June, the carabinieri del Ros notified the precautionary custody for Felice Milazzo, head of the clan, Erasmo Milazzo and Salvatore Lipari, who are under house arrest, Mariano Lipari and Salvatore Lipari who are already in prison. The investigation known as "Operation Elima" started in 2017 under the guidance of the Palermo DDA prosecutor, already engaged in investigations for the capture of Messina Denaro, then arrested by the Ros on 16 January. The investigation had hit the family of Cosa Nostra di Poggioreale - Salaparuta with accusations of participation in a mafia association. The investigators had confirmed with the investigations the role and activities of the mafia family which is part of the district of Castelvetrano, in close relations with the families of the provinces of Trapani and Palermo. As the investigation revealed, it is a highly dangerous criminal group, above all due to the large quantity of weapons they had available and which were seized. Other searches are still underway in the province of Trapani.

They dismantle a network that tried to strengthen Cosa Nostra led by a 23-year-old

Rome, June 27 (EFE).- The Italian authorities today dismantled a network of 33 subjects who were trying to strengthen the Sicilian mafia Cosa Nostra and which was led by Vincenzo Sorrentino, 23 years old and invested as "substitute" boss by his father, currently in the jail.

Finally, of the 33 people implicated in this case, 25 were subjected to precautionary detention, one to house arrest and the other seven have been prohibited from managing businesses until the trial is held, according to a statement from the Finance Guard (fiscal police). .

The operation ordered by the Palermo Prosecutor's Office (south) and baptized "Villaggio di famiglia" (family town) was carried out tonight by 220 police officers in the peripheral neighborhood of Santa Rosalia in the Sicilian capital, the stronghold of this clan of the Cosa Nostra.

The members of the network are accused of crimes such as belonging to a mafia association, with the aggravation of illegal possession of weapons, as well as drug trafficking and fraudulent movement of capital to "benefit" Cosa Nostra, according to a note.

Investigators have reconstructed the "consolidated and comprehensive criminal dynamics" of the Sorrentino family, which controls the eastern area of ??Palermo and is part of the Pagliarelli clan, one of the most loyal to Cosa Nostra and also one of the most hermetic.

The capo, Salvino Sorrentino, is currently imprisoned in the Roman prison of Rebibbia for his crimes but, nevertheless, "he has managed to retain his leadership by maintaining direct and indirect contacts with his henchmen" from his cell.

Specifically, the Palermo prosecutors detail, without giving names of those arrested, the boss's son, identified by the press as Vincenzo Sorrentino, 23, "was invested with a role as a substitute for the father to protect mafia interests."

The heir, one of the new pupils of Cosa Nostra, was in charge of ensuring that the clan continued to infiltrate the social, economic and criminal fabric of Palermo with the help of another "young partner" who acted as the "operative arm" of the father and son. .

The evidence collected suggests that both "had managed to maintain control of the territory, constantly reaffirming their role and fighting the attempts of other mafia exponents to limit" their primacy.

It has even emerged that the boss could issue orders from prison to "numerous partners", "reinforcing their identity", through "video calls", a benefit introduced during the pandemic to avoid personal visits and that is still in force.

The investigation has shown that the clan from the Santa Rosalía neighborhood "strongly" conditioned the economic fabric of their area of ??interest. Control was, in fact, almost total.

The clan supervised the sale of bread, even imposing its price, authorized the opening of shops, conditioned real estate operations, dominated the construction sector, and exercised a monopoly on street vendors in the city's cemeteries.

Their power was such that they even carried out "management forms of public order" acting as judges to "resolve lawsuits and problems between private parties."

The gangsters of Santa Rosalía also maintained relations with the region of Calabria (south), where the 'Ndrangheta, one of the most powerful and bloodthirsty mafias in the world, operates. Specifically, the Calabrian drug traffickers were paid 700,000 euros to receive cocaine and "supply the streets of Palermo and Trapani."

In the operation, which required the deployment of 220 police officers, six companies worth 5,000 million euros have been requisitioned, from the catering, food, transport and construction sectors, as well as 7 kilos of cocaine. EFE

Palermo VIP drug pusher arrested
Former regional assembly speaker Miccichè among alleged clients

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 29 - A preliminary investigations judge in Palermo on Thursday ordered precautionary measures to be taken against six people suspected of supplying drugs to VIPs in the Sicilian capital.
One of the suspects is restaurant manager Mario Di Ferro, who is charged with procuring cocaine for a select clientèle including the former president of the Sicilian Regional Assembly Gianfranco Miccichè, who, however, is not under investigation.
Di Ferro was placed under house arrest.
Miccichè, a former lawmaker and government minister with centre-right Forza Italia, is alleged to have picked up cocaine in his official blue car, complete with flashing lights, according to case documents.
Miccichè said he was "sorry" for Di Ferro, who he described as a "dear friend".
"I used to go to his parties, which were always great fun, attended by lots of people and where I never saw any drugs," said the politician, also "categorically rule(ing) out driving around with a flashing light on".
"I consider it much more important in my life to have been honest, never to have hurt anyone, never to have stolen a penny," he said, adding that "everyone has made mistakes in life" but that "the important thing is to have a clear conscience, and I do". (ANSA).

The war with Riina, prison and contacts re-established with Inzerillo for EU funds: the return of Micalizzi
From the papers of the ordinance that led to 11 arrests, the figure of the son-in-law of Rosario Riccobono emerges, a boss killed by the Corleonesi in the 1980s. Returned free in 2015, after more than 20 years of detention, he would have once again established himself as head of the Partanna Mondello family

Historic man of honor of the Partanna Mondello mafia family, after more than 20 years spent in prison, returned free in 2015, he had regained the top position in his reference territory. At least this is what can be deduced about Michele Micalizzi, 73, a prominent figure in the order of the investigating judge Fabio Pilato which today led to the arrest of 11 people by the carabinieri as part of the "Metus" operation

Michele Micalizzi has been indicated by numerous pentiti as affiliated with the mafia family of Partanna Mondello and considered to be the protagonist of the massive heroin import business from Thailand through the supplier Koh Bak Kin.

Returned to freedom on August 12, 2015, Micalizzi, after having lived for a period in Florence, would have managed to climb positions in the clan before reaching the top. The ordinance refers to a conversation that took place between Micalizzi, his son Giuseppe and the boss of Passo di Rigano Tommaso Inzerillo, in December 2017, in an apartment in via Mogadishu, which would have been used for the summits. Although they were certain that someone was intercepting them, during the conversation, Micalizzi did not mind talking about a project to try to get non-repayable funding from the European Union.

Italy: Police seize record 5 tons of cocaine near Sicily

https://www.dw.com/en/italy-police-...y/a-66308319?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-rdf


Largest cocaine seizure in Italy.

Strax, I think Cosa Nostra and perhaps La Stidda are moving deeper into the cocaine trade. What do you think?

The investigation launched by the Sicilian DDA identified the members "of a stable and permanent associative structure dedicated to drug trafficking". This "fluid" association that holds Calabrians and Palermitans together would be equipped with "encrypted users attributable to a single server of Dutch origin, called "fast.m2m", not yet penetrated. A new challenge for investigators: after the coup achieved with the decryption of the "Sky Ecc" servers, the mafias have found a new secure system for communicating.

My question is, who has the money to order 5 tons of coke? I'm betting several groups put a lot of money into that.

It's not just the money , 'Ndrangheta broker Roberto Pannunzi is said to be one of few people from Europe who can order 3+ tons of cocaine, he was arrested in Colombia. I guess 'Ndrangheta is behind this seizure with some groups from Sicilian mafia.

Exactly what I was thinking, Ndrangheta and Cosa Nostra invested in this.

The new Cosa Nostra after Messina Denaro: new pacts with the 'Ndrangheta to return as a protagonist in the world of narcos
The drug dealing squares delegated for years to Central African groups are returning to the bosses

GIUSEPPE LEGATO

How is the Cosa Nostra orphaned by its king? The prosecutor of Palermo Maurizio Delucia pauses to then open the book of the new Sicilian mafia, the one that already before – and even more so after – the arrest of the last mass murderer Matteo Messina Denaro, had ended up being subordinate to the neighboring (geographically ) Calabrian 'Ndrangheta. And who is now dealing with a re-start strategy with all the most dangerous protagonists of the season of attack on the state - or in any case of the so-called military wing - in prison or in the cemetery. "Before becoming militarily strong again, an impoverished organization must become economically rich again," said the head of the Palermo prosecutors in front of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission. Here's the point is this. From 1992 onwards the leaders ended up in prison, a continuous action «as it had never been in the past». And this made sense (and weight) in the tortuous path of the real fight against crime because it "ended up undermining the sense of impunity on the one hand and creating a vulnerability in mafia thinking declined on the perception of the convenience for the younger generations to join – said the prosecutor of Palermo in a recent hearing before the parliamentary anti-mafia commission – to criminal structures of this type». There is therefore a mafia that wants and must relaunch itself on trajectories of discontinuity at least with the recent past. And this made sense (and weight) in the tortuous path of the real fight against crime because it "ended up undermining the sense of impunity on the one hand and creating a vulnerability in mafia thought declined on the perception of the convenience for the younger generations to join – said the prosecutor of Palermo in a recent hearing before the parliamentary anti-mafia commission – to criminal structures of this type». There is therefore a mafia that wants and must relaunch itself on trajectories of discontinuity at least with the recent past. And this made sense (and weight) in the tortuous path of the real fight against crime because it "ended up undermining the sense of impunity on the one hand and creating a vulnerability in mafia thinking declined on the perception of the convenience for the younger generations to join – said the prosecutor of Palermo in a recent hearing before the parliamentary anti-mafia commission – to criminal structures of this type». There is therefore a mafia that wants and must relaunch itself on trajectories of discontinuity at least with the recent past.

In the first days of last June the merchant vessel Plutus, flying the flag of Palau, had set sail from the port of Santo Domingo. First stop in the intermediate ports of Trinidad and Tobago. On 7 July you docked for a few hours in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria, Spain) to then pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and head towards Sicily. Close to the Italian coasts, more than one investigator notes that the cargo ship makes several changes of course with respect to the route reported to the maritime authorities. Strange. And then someone turned off the tracking system. It is in those situations that the fishing boat "Ferdinando di Aragona", departing from the Calabrian coast, approaches the ship. The order arrives peremptorily from the Palermo DDA and Gico's financiers intervene. About fifteen people are transhipping 5, 3 tons of pure cocaine from one boat to another. Arrests and maxi-seizure, the second largest in Italy after the 5.5 tons of white gold intercepted in 1995 in Borgaro Torinese. As then, even today there is also the 'Ndrangheta behind such an impressive load. In this segment "we have very recent investigations - says Delucia - which prove how Cosa Nostra is re-establishing and reopening relations with the Calabrian gangs and which certify how the importation is agreed with them". Again: "Even if the 'ndrine have in fact a monopoly on cocaine trafficking, it is equally evident that a brand such as Cosa Nostra does not abandon itself". A deal for everyone. Nostalgia for the glories (and methods) of the past also emerges in a renewed control of drug dealing squares until recently delegated to criminal organizations of North African origin. Territory control does not go out of fashion. The recent arrests in the Zen/2 district prove it. Between via Agesia in Syracuse and via Fausto Coppi, a 24-hour super market. The carabinieri of the Compagnia di San Lorenzo arrested 17 people, many Italians in an investigation conducted between October 2021 and February 2022. Lavish earnings (300,000 euros per month) and requests from all over the province

The old adage "sometimes they come back" does not apply only to business channels, but also to some families who emigrated to America during Salvatore Riina's bloody management of the Cosa Nostra. They fled to escape a slaughter or a death sentence issued as an edict by the most violent of the Corleonesi to annihilate the internal resistance to his ascent within the "Commission". And this is how now, far from the echo of the guns of that season, old faces reappear trying to recover the old power. However, the logarithm to reach it is always the same: money. And there is nothing better than drug trafficking to smooth out handicaps compared to those who have always stayed to do business in Sicily. Delucia says: «In Agrigento we are recording a return of the “Stidda” phenomenon born between the 1980s and 1990s which for a certain period had seemed to most to have been eradicated. However, we are aware of old (and new) subjects who come together to create an organization that in some way is in dialogue with the Palermo Cosa Nostra». But the Fascellas of Santa Maria del Gesù have also returned. And in recent months, the boss of Partanna Mondello Michele Micalizzi, 73, the son-in-law of the boss Rosario Riccobono, and Salvatore Marsalone, 69, have also ended up in handcuffs. , in the seventies one of the most trusted drug traffickers for the "prince" Stefano Bontade.

A fight that is fought with returns to (and from) the past, but also with the best modern technology in terms of communications. The Sicilian bosses buy encrypted mobile phones from the narcos of the 'Ndrangheta. Complicated software to "pick". Not always though. The Gico of the Guardia di Finanza managed to identify some encrypted telephone users located close to the A 20 Palermo-Messina motorway shortly before the 5-ton maxi-seizure. They were Dutch numbers connected to the fast.m2m server which allows you to exchange information through a network called: "Machine to Machine (M2M)". On this point, the prosecutor of Palermo was clear: «The wiretapping mechanism puts us behind the technological methods that the mafias use. We have - says Delucia - by now a series of important communications between mafiosi who transit on encrypted platforms and we are late. Some European police forces have managed to enter it, we still haven't ». And among the difficulties that dot the road of this struggle there is also «a decrease in pentiti both in terms of quality and quantity. This - says the head of the judicial office of Palermo - also depends on the current state of Cosa Nostra from the numerous arrests of the past.

I highly doubt that they're only making 300,000 a month, that's only 3.6 million a year. Unless they're rationing it out and only selling so much supply at a time.

300,000 a month is a lot of money if it comes only from one open air market, they always have multiple of those. On open air market its always low-quantities dealing , it doesn't include bigger sales they have with other groups.

The return to Palermo of the 'escaped'. As in the '70s they manage drug trafficking

After the death of Salvatore 'Totò' Riina in 2017, the "excommunication" against the old families fell and now, not only Micalizzi and Marsalone, are returning.

The traffickers of the past had re-proposed the 1970s "method" to the heads of mafia families, from Brancaccio to Porta Nuova to Tommaso Natale: everyone put up a share and then the two old bosses managed the investments

Micalizzi and Salvatore Marsalone continued to lead the good life: the first in his beautiful villa in Partanna Mondello (where he is under house arrest) and the second (now in prison) in his 400 square meter penthouse in Piazza Leoni.

Yes just one place don't forget they have market squares all over Palermo province.
It's used to be Nigerians running it, but now the Sicilians are back in control.

"After the capture of Matteo Messina Denaro, Cosa Nostra restarts from the 'Ndrangheta, and from relations with the Calabrian clans, in better financial health". This was stated by the Palermo prosecutor Maurizio De Lucia in a hearing before the parliamentary anti-mafia commission.

"We have very recent investigations – added De Lucia – which prove how the Sicilian mafia agrees on the importation of drugs with the 'ndrine".

"Other indications of this renewed link are in the contacts between encrypted users between the province of Palermo and the Locride area", concluded the prosecutor.

Camorra and mafia together in Antwerp
May 26, 2011

The public prosecutor in Antwerp has demanded 12 years in prison against Paolo Lumia, a 43-year-old Sicilian who is considered one of the key figures in the cocaine trade between the mafia, camorra and the Colombian drug cartels. Lumia set up a professional and sophisticated network in Antwerp to bring large consignments of cocaine to Europe by air transport.

The Lumia organization used the Antwerp diamond trade and the trade in children's toys as a cover.

'This is not about the umpteenth club that has to get cocaine out of the containers in the port of Antwerp, these gentlemen play on a completely different level. This is a particularly professionally organized criminal network, of which Paolo Lumia is the spider in the web', is how public prosecutor Paul Van Tigchelt described the group of 17 people who stood trial on Wednesday morning before the 8C room of the Antwerp criminal court.

The Lumia dossier is indeed an atypical dossier for Antwerp.

To begin with, it is not about the import of cocaine via the port of Antwerp, which is nevertheless the most important transshipment point for cocaine in Europe. The organization around Paolo Lumia worked with air transport.

Justice prosecutes Lumia and co. for the import of two large consignments of cocaine, which were flown from Argentina to Zaventem airport. Between May 23 and 26, 2010, the Lumia group brought in about 255 kg. Although the detectives kept an eye on the gang, they were unable to intercept the batch of cocaine.

On June 15, 2010, a second shipment, containing 291 kg of cocaine, arrived. This batch could be confiscated by the federal police.

In the classic smuggling case, Belgian dock workers, Dutch drug boys, Moroccan smugglers or Albanian crooks often turn up. This case involves Sicilians (remarkable: three suspects come from the mafia village of Mazaro Del Vallo) and Colombians with a residential address in Barcelona.

They behaved like international businessmen and commuted permanently between Sicily, Spain, South America and Antwerp. The odd one out is Israeli Aharon Antoshvili, who was born as a Georgian, better known in the environment as Alex The Jew or Alex The Jeweler.

Antoshvili is said to have made a number of financial transactions for the Italians and Colombians, but Antoshvili strongly denies this. He insists that he has nothing to do with the drug traffic, but that he would have made some smaller diamond deals with the Italians.

The Italians also proceeded very systematically and invested considerably in the preparation of the drug traffic. The story is a textbook example of how modern organized crime works. 'Lumia and his right-hand man Enrico Bianco first set up a legal structure that was to serve as a cover for the drug trade,' says Paul Van Tigchelt.

'In 2009, the group takes over the import-export firm Tres Castillos, transforms the company into Global Things Impex and places a Belgian stooge as manager. That manager receives 1000 euros per month, but in reality the company is run in the background by a number of Lumia employees. Through Global Things Impex, the group also rented two warehouses and some storage space from Shurgard. The group also arranged houses for the members of the organization to stay.'

The organization then set up a legal import of play equipment and equipment for miniature golf courses. The goods were sent by an Argentinian company with Global Things Impex as destination. “Lumia already had plans to set up a second supply line at that time,” says Van Tigchelt. Lumia made frantic attempts to take over a company in Luxembourg, but the negotiations ultimately failed.' (…)

Several meetings in Palermo also with the regent of the Ciaculli-Brancaccio district Giuseppe Greco, known as "the senator".

The repentant Francesco Onorato: ''Mariano Tullio Troia was also intimate with Dell'Utri''
Luca Grossi 05 August 2023
At the end of the 89's - 90's Mariano Tullio Troia (important mafioso convicted in 1995 and arrested in 1998 but then with a clean record, ed. ) " was also intimate with Dell'Utri, with Marcello Dell'Utri (then manager of Publitalia, ed .) Marcello Dell'Utri was sometimes even present where he lives, because they were born... who knew Marcello Dell'Utri as children... and also... he was a friend... he, then c 'it was another one that I... I can't think of, another politician who came...". This was reported by Francesco Onorato , Partanna Mondello's mafioso, self-confessed of many murders and collaborator with justice.
Onorato then said that more or less in the same period and in other situations he also saw Stefano Delle Chiaie , recognized in a photo shown to him by the Caltanissetta prosecutors but an illustrious stranger to him until the exam on 13 September 2022
. declarations of a collaborator of justice not yet verified and for which the judiciary will have to carry out the necessary checks.
Onorato was heard by the Caltanissetta prosecutors on 13 September 2022 as part of the investigation into the so-called "black track" in relation to the 1992 massacres which became public domain in May 2022, when the investigation was relaunched with an impulse act by the Management national anti-mafia campaign of 2021, also following the new investigations by the General Prosecutor of Palermo then directed by Roberto Scarpinato .
From the 536 pages of the precautionary custody order, with which the Gip of Caltanissetta Santi Bologna ordered the house arrest of Stefano Menicacci and Domenico Romeo, it emerges that the prosecutors, while continuing to investigate the possible "role of the founder of Avanguardia Nazionale ,Stefano Delle Chiaie (deceased on 2 September 2019), and possibly other subjects connected to the subversive right, in the planning and/or execution phase of the Capaci massacre", the prosecutors of Nissen do not consider the authors of the revelations about the alleged involvement of the said Delle Chiaie. In particular, they brand both the collaborator of justice (who died years ago) Alberto Lo Cicero and his partner Maria Romeo as unreliable on the point .
Onorato Francesco said he was "sure " of having met Delle Chiaie: " I have always met him here, in our district because I hardly went to other districts, especially after the collaboration with Masino Buscettawe no longer went anywhere " . things, even in speaking, the confidence, things, how we spoke: 'You know, chiddu ammazzo a one, that ammazza to the other' Then there are a bit...And so I'm talking about people I've seen in our mandate. And...surely I met him at Troia or...or even at...at Saro Riccobono , or sometimes with Biondino, because I've seen him not once, but many times" . " It could be from ...from Troia, it could be with Gambino, it could be sometimes from... to Sferracavallo with some of the Scalici, I think", declared the pentito to the magistrates also giving the dates, "'83, '84, in that period. Also in '89".
Subsequently, Onorato also spoke of Mariano Tullio Troia : "unlike other high-ranking mafiosi, just think of the Madonias of Resuttana, he did not have privileged relations with the right (both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary), but rather had transversal relationships with political exponents of every color, also belonging to the right (like Lo Porto)" reads the order of the Gip.
Mariano Tullio Troia , always according to Onorato, "was very intimate with a certain Volo, Fabio Volo , who in that period I don't know what happened, Salvatore Biondinohe tells me we have to catch Volo and we have to strangle him".
" I could ask Salvatore a few more questions, because there was a good relationship, because we had committed the Lima murder, " he said.
Onorato on this occasion did not recall to the Caltanissetta prosecutors the motive: according to what was declared in 2014 and then on 28 April 2015 in the courtroom in another trial, Salvatore Biondino would have asked him to kill Volo because he had been rude to Pierluigi Concutelli .
A singular fact: Riina's right-hand man had asked Onorato, the assassin, to eliminate a black extremist in order to punish him for having lacked respect for another more important black extremist. This situation deserves careful scrutiny and warrants an investigation into the presence of connections among members of the black organization.

Biondino and the secret services
Few collaborators of justice have commented on his mysterious figure. Salvatore Cancemi, head of the Porta Nuova district, had described him as a very important figure who had contacts at all levels, including institutions and secret services. A man of strategy, and at the same time a ferocious assassin. Honored, he recounted the episode that saw him protagonist in the death sentence of the young policeman Emanuele Piazza .
The latter collaborated in a confidential manner with the secret services in search of fugitives. Emanuele had managed to forge a good relationship of acquaintance with Onorato; in fact, they shared a passion for boxing and often stopped to have a chat. On one of these occasions, Biondino was passing by by chance and saw them. Later he called Onorato and said: "What are you doing? Do you hug with cops? How Biondino got to know Emanuele's super-confidential job remains a mystery . 1992 it turns out that Lo Cicero, in addition to Biondino and Mariano Tullio Troia , had spoken of Antonino Troia , cousin of Mariano (owner of the furniture factory of the same name located in Capaci via Vittorio Emanuele n. 127), and of the murder of Emanuele Piazza (believed by Lo Cicero to be an agent of the secret services). He was actually strangled in the basement of the Troy warehouse. And the Prosecutor of Palermo had no news of the Piazza murder until 1996, when the collaborator Giovanbattista Ferrante spoke first and then Onorato.
