Rome - «I met Matteo Messina Denaro. I met him at the port of Palermo, then we had another appointment in Tuscany, where he is protected by men of the 'Ndrangheta. This is what a 45-year-old Tuscan would have revealed to L'Espresso: a subject - writes the weekly magazine that has published an anticipation of the story that will be published in the issue on Sunday - with some judicial misadventures and old friendships with Sicilians linked to Cosa nostra and Calabrese belonging to the clan of the 'ndrangheta. Friendships allowed him to get in touch with the men closest to the wanted number one. " The witness, says L'Espresso, "reveals meetings with Messina Denaro and the names of the people who assisted him. It also opens up new criminal scenarios in which the mafia is accused of murder and massacres. It turns out that the fugitive has obtained coverage also from exponents of the 'ndrangheta, the places in which he has lodged, and the territory he has attended. We learn of the increasingly precarious health conditions of the boss and the clinic in which he was treated. And it turns out that one of the fugitive's nephews is a magistrate serving in a prosecutor's office in Northern Italy. "
The revelations of the witness, according to the weekly, "are being examined by the magistrates of the District Anti-Mafia District Prosecutor of Florence, who has already found most of the statements, in some cases even with photographs documenting secret meetings with the entourage of Messina Denaro, delegating investigations at the Guardia di Finanza ".
