Relazione Dia: ''Cosa nostra subdola e silente concentrata negli affari''

"Reorganization is attempted after Riina's death. Clashes are not ruled out"


Despite the continuous arrests (the last concerned last week the members belonging to the district of Passo di Rigano and the historic Inzerillo family), the seizure and confiscation of assets, the criminal organization called Cosa nostra is still pervasive and endowed with dynamism and offensive potential ".

This is the first consideration that, in the semi-annual report published last July 19, Dia's analysts are looking at the Sicilian mafia.

The investigators lined up all the information gathered during the second half of 2018 in which the operation Cupola 2.0, the one that on December 4, 2018 revealed the attempt to reorganize the Provincial Commission after the death of the Chief of Chiefs, Totò Riina, was certainly the most important success of the Police Forces.


According to Dia, the death of the Corleonese bossie has opened a "new transition phase, that of succession, however characterized by very delicate and problematic aspects, linked to the alignments, alliances between families and the new relations of force. , after years of internal review and constant search for balance, Cosa Nostra has really tried to finally give itself a definitive organization, not only substantial but also formal ".


Dia emphasizes how"it was argued that the mafia organization was, finally, measuring for some time with the return to Palermo of the so-called" escaped "or" American "and their descendants, or the losers of the mafia war won by the Corleonese " , able to " recover the ancient power also by relating to the Corleonese wing, as well as making use of historical relations with overseas bosses ".

The operation that took place last week, moreover, did nothing but confirm the involvement of the Inzerillo family, of the district of Passo di Rigano, in the dynamics of the Sicilian criminal organization.

Possible violent actions
Analysts observe how"even if the attempt to reconstitute the Dome was unsuccessful due to prompt enforcement, the investigative findings confirmed the associates' awareness of the fact that one of the strong points, perhaps the main one, of Cosa Nostra has always been to It is a structured organization, well rooted in the territory, unitary and top-down, with precise top roles, so it seems likely that the Palermo organization will continue to experience a phase of transition and remodulation, during which the most authoritative components will confront each other to confer a new structure and new garments, striving to pursue the creation of a top-down and unitary structure ".

Then they sound an alarm:"Precisely because of the failure of the attempt to reconstruct the Dome and thus continuing the critical elements described above (which the establishment of the coordinating body should have allowed to progressively overcome), it is not possible to exclude in an absolute way that the difficulties of the organization and the complex dynamics between the components that are part of it can lead to strong disagreements, even with acts of violence.

This possibility is also to be considered because of the fact that internal conflicts could be further exacerbated by the new collaborative relationships of affiliates, particularly authoritative, with justice " .

The business network: the drug above all
"The 'lace' - Dia's analysts know - not only represents a primary source of" sustenance ", but is also a fundamental means to control the territory". However, an increasingly strong return to drug trafficking is reported.

According to investigators, the interest of Sicilian organized crime towards the drug business remains high, as it is a huge capital multiplier. "In this illicit, international and transnational context, - they write -the important and unavoidable criminal synergies emerge, due to supply needs, with other Italian mafia organizations, as well as with foreign criminal organizations involved in the long chain of drug trafficking ".

The report acknowledges the existing relations Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta just to purposes of drug supply.


Speaking of the business of Cosa Nostra in the semi-annual report it is certified as"Today Cosa Nostra tries to avoid violent ostentation and sensational gestures, which would inevitably provoke social condemnation, in order to best pursue one's own affairs while at the same time maintaining a certain social consensus.

This new strategy, in relation to that stragista, is allowing, in fact, a subtle and silent penetration into the socio-economic-administrative fabric, favoring the collusive-corruptive tactic " .

"The illicit business agreements - the report continues -they are therefore the fruit of mutual convenience between the parties.

Corruption, based on a social fabric still available to compromise and which has its strengths in familism, in welfarism and in a widespread clientelism, is aimed at interfering with the functioning of the public administration, especially at the local level and mostly in those sectors where substantial economic resources pass, such as health, waste and the agro-food sector.

Considering that the Municipalities, even the small ones, can be important spending centers, with the Cosa Nostra corruption is able to condition bureaucracy and politics, in order to achieve its goals more effectively.

An economic-entrepreneurial sector at risk of corruption turned out to be that of maritime transport,, Dia continues.
"Historically - the law continues - the Sicilian mafia controls the construction, the production of bituminous and cement conglomerates, the earth movement, the mining activity and the agro-silvo-pastoral sector.

Alongside the aforementioned traditional areas, Cosa Nostra has also known to infiltrate large-scale food distribution, in the tourism-hotel sector, in the betting and online gaming sector, in the manufacturing industry, in the waste cycle, in real estate investments, also made through judicial auctions, in works connected with the construction of energy plants from renewable sources and in all those sectors that benefit from state and community public funding.


An important testimony of all this is the profiteering attributable to the well-known fugitive Messina Denaro or to the numerous companies considered by him to be related. The investigative activities have disrupted the considerable economic power due to the boss of Castelvetrano, together with the complex and articulated chain of figures that allow him to manage investments and recycling operations, always identifying new economic sectors in which to move.
