An accident during an excursion cost the life of Gaspare Allegra, 37, from Castelvetrano, nephew of the fugitive boss Matteo Messina Denaro.

The man died slipping into a gully yesterday afternoon in the Bocchetta di Prada area, between the towns of Mandello del Lario and Esino Lario (in the province of Lecco). The accident happened in front of his brother Francesco.

Allegra lived in Albairate, in the province of Milan. The intervention of the speleological rescue staff was of no avail. His father Rosario, husband of one of the boss's sisters, died of a brain aneurysm, while he was being held at 41 bis in the Terni prison.


The Greek police arrested the 63-year-old Mafia fugitive Mario Giulio Calderone near Larissa, Greece, at the top of the barcellonesi mafia family and included since 2016 in the list of dangerous fugitives drawn up by the Ministry of the Interior.

Calderone had been a fugitive for over ten years after a definitive conviction for mafia association for his belonging to a criminal clan historically linked to Cosa Nostra in Palermo and Catania and among the bloodiest and best organized militarily in the mafia scene of the Peloritan province.
