Cosa Nostra and Stidda investigation: four indictments December 29, 2023 The magistrate of the Palermo court, Ivana Vassallo , has decided on 4 indictments for as many suspects in the "Condor" operation which hit the Cosa Nostra and Stidda families and the acquittal of the 55-year-old Pasquale Alaimo di Favara, accused of having violated special surveillance, meeting some criminals including the Favarian brothers Giuseppe and Ignazio Sicilia , defendants in this trial. Alaimo was freed after serving 13 years in prison on charges of having been one of the main supporters of the former Cosa Nostra provincial head, Maurizio Di Gati . The lawyer Giuseppe Barba had highlighted that these were not violations of the measure but "sporadic meetings in public places without any prior agreement". On trial, however, are Salvatore Curto , 39 years old, from Canicattì; Salvatore Galvano , 52 years old, from Agrigento; Francesco Genova , 43 years old, from Palermo and Giovanni Cibaldi , 35 years old, from Licata. The hearing is scheduled to begin on March 11th before the judges of the first criminal section of Agrigento presided over by Alfonso Malato . Ten other defendants, however, requested summary judgment and the prosecutor of the Palermo DDA, Claudio Camilleri , requested their conviction.
