How were Cosimo and Cosimo related? In January "The Quail", now 68, was acquitted and released after 26 years in prison.
The murdered Cosimo Ernesto Commisso, born 1984, may not be related at all to Cosimo Commisso of Italy, alias
u quagghia, born 1950.
The two, if related, could only be related through Ernesto's father's side of the family, as Ernesto's mother's maiden name is
Parr (we can infer from the wording of a number of obituaries of Commissos that Ernesto's parents were divorced a number of years ago). Claudio Commisso -- Ernesto's father -- is a first cousin to brothers Cosimo, Remo, and Michael of the GTA Siderno Group.
Ernesto's paternal grandfather, Ernesto Commisso (d. 2010), was brother to the mother of the three Commisso brothers, Emilia Commisso (her maiden name was also
Commisso). The
Operazione Bene Comune-Recupero reports indicate that Remo Commisso is a cousin to
u quagghia but does not indicate the degree of cousinhood. None of Emilia Commisso's siblings are named
Francesco, which is the name of
u quagghia's father, so this means that Claudio Commisso and first cousins Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are not first cousins to
u quagghia via siblings Ernesto and Emila respectively. (Other degrees of cousinhood are certainly possible.)
So there are a number of other possibilities that would establish that Claudio Commisso and/or first cousins Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are first cousins to
u quagghia:
1. Claudio Commisso could be related to
u quagghia via his mother, Teresa Commisso (I don't know her maiden name).
2. Cosimo, Remo, and Michael are related to
u quagghia via the brothers' murdered father, Girolamo (killed in the late 1940s).
Again, other degrees of cousinhood are certainly possible.
