The Palermitans would be in contact with Matteo Messina Denaro via Leo Sutera, the historic mafia boss of Sambuca di Sicilia.
His arrest a few years ago created clashes and discontent in the Palermo prosecutor’s office. Some magistrates believed that following Sutera could lead to Matteo Messina Denaro. Sutera received the pizzini from the fugitive from Trapani, read them in the open countryside and finally destroyed them. According to other magistrates, however, the Sutera track would not have brought other results and so they decided to arrest him.
Sutera’s name is linked to the last season in which it is certain that the bosses of three provinces – Palermo, Trapani and Agrigento – acted for common interests. The confirmation came from the reconstruction of some summits. Matteo Messina Denaro, inspirer of the dialogue season, would have participated in the last.
