Greek, the destiny in the name
"U criaturi" which became the boss

He started with a surname that was famous in Cosa Nostra and he made a lot of it. Here's who the 'nephew' is.
PALERMO - Everyone is the creator of his own destiny. And Leandro Greco chose to draw on his destiny to build on his family's DNA.


"U criaturi (the little creature, the little boy)", as he called it
Giovanni Di Giacomo , a prisoner of the firing group of Pippo Calò , has traveled a lot along the way, starting from a surname that he recorded in the old Cosa Nostra. Leandro's grandfather is Michele Greco , the pope of the mafia, the undisputed lord of Ciaculli. In Ciaculli, at number 461 of the street of the same name, in the house that belonged to his grandfather lived his nephew who sank his roots in the past to become a protagonist in the present. There was also, according to the magistrates of the Anti-Mafia District Directorate and the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit, at the table of the new provincial commission, the one that met to establish the rules of the organization after Riina.

For most, but not for the carabinieri, the figure of Greco looked like a young man like many others. With a particularity: he did not give himself to do for a living, evidently his family assets were enough for him. In 2013 Giovanni Di Giacomo spoke in prison with his brother Giuseppe who was to be murdered shortly thereafter. He made a reference to the "grandson of the vavetto". And here is the ability of the carabinieri to immediately frame the character on the basis of the nickname of the uncle, Nunzio Milano , the "vavetto" that had a decisive weight in Porta Nuova in the mafia designed by Nino Rotolo , boss of Pagliarelli. Milan returned to prison in March 2014 when the carabinieri always stopped the possible mafia war after the Di Giacomo murder. Nunzio's sister was the wife of the 'dad'.

"They've moved him to Ciaculli ... I don't know his nephew," said Giuseppe Di Giacomo, referring to the shift of power from Brancaccio to Ciaculli. Then, his brother Giovanni suggested that he look for alliances with Greco who had assumed a leading role probably because Pietro Tagliavia of Corso dei Mille was controlled by the police. The life sentence killer had some doubts: "Do you think that if the spirugghua ... the Greek Greek one".

The young Leandro was only 24 years old which, four years after those interceptions, participated in the new dome of Cosa Nostra. The Greco have missed a generation in terms of mafia power, as Leandro's father, Giuseppe, has been talked about for his failed attempt to establish himself as a film director.

Since the interception of the Di Giacomo the carabinieri have not stopped concentrating on the figure of Leandro Greco. Symptomatic of his weight is the conversation with which an unidentified person informed him that there were "two friends of Brancaccio" who wanted to talk to him because "perhaps there is some problem here in Ciaculli". A problem that only he could solve. In the life of Greco the figure of Lorenzo Tinnirello appeared at some pointtoday 81 years old, arrested in the 'Ghiaccio' blitz. A few months ago a happy event has in fact strengthened the mafia axis that links Ciaculli to Porta Nuova. Leonardo's brother married the daughter of Gregorio Di Giovanni , Mafia leader of Porta Nuova and another member of the provincial commission of Cosa Nostra. A commission whose convocation would have been pushed by the young Greco.
