Mafia, blitz with 11 arrests in Palermo: roles, tasks and the new godfather of Noce's mandamento revealed

Salvatore Alfano had become the new godfather, a role ratified by the older boss, Settimo Mineo, who had presided over the first summit of the new cupola after Riina's death. A kiss on the mouth in the main square of the neighborhood had in fact sanctioned the investiture by the Mafia boss.

Wiretaps that helped shed light on the dynamics within families, leading to the police's anti-mafia operation this morning. Eleven arrests: nine people ended up in prison and two ended up under house arrest.

Among the 11 arrested there is the same Alfano, 64 years old, believed to be the new boss of Noce. Settimo Mineo - the boss who had tried to rebuild the new Cupola after Totò Riina's death often visited him in the family dealership, in Piazza Principe di Camporeale. A clear sign of respect.

The investigation of the mobile team shows that the mandate of Noce aimed at a strict control of the territory, with extortion on the ground and even with the management of the rides; in recent times the bosses had also launched into the real estate brokerage sector.
