Re: 19 arrests between Usa and Sicily, Gambino-Inzerillo families
A copy of the above. Loose google translation.
In Palermo, it's three of a sultry night. In New York, on the other hand, nine o'clock that threatens rain. A message from WhatsApp runs from one side to the other, it is the signal that the boys of the mobile team and FBI colleagues were waiting for. Away, together. Among the streets of Passo di Rigano, Boccadifalco, Torretta and at the same time among the villas of Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Jersey. Because from Sicily to the United States the old mafia of the Inzerillo and the Gambinos is back to being strong. It is the mafia on which the head of Mobile Boris Giuliano had investigated in the 70s and then the judge Giovanni Falcone. Today, the latest investigation by the Palermo pool coordinated by prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi and the addition of Salvatore De Luca reveals a dramatic return to the past. Nineteen arrests were made in Palermo between the Inzerillo and the Gambinos, dozens of searches in the United States.
In handcuffs, an unexpected suspicion deemed "available" by the clan has also ended: the mayor of the town of Torretta, Salvatore Gambino, who is now accused of external competition in the Mafia association. The mobile team directed by Rodolfo Ruperti tries to drive back the past that wanted to be present again after the death of Totò Riina (which took place in 2017): the tyrant of Cosa nostra, in the early eighties, had them exterminated the Inzerillo, and those left alive had sent them into exile in the US. But for some time now, they had returned to recover Palermo. They have not gone unnoticed.
The Inzerillo and the Gambino were kept under control day and night by the organized crime section of the Mobile directed by Gianfranco Minissale. A complicated job, because the heirs of Totuccio Inzerillo and John Gambino are all the opposite of the Corleonesi of Riina and Provenzano: low profile, no fuss, just lots of business.
The area of Passo di Rigano had settled in their historic stronghold, the southern part of the city. The Gambinos, on the other hand, were farther on, beyond the mountain, in the nearby town of Torretta, already in the Eighties a piece of the Inzerillo "mandamento". In May, an investigation by the Republic told the power of the new "kings" of Palermo.

Mafia, the return of old families. There is a Palermo-New York axis
by SALVO PALAZZOLO
The terrible cousins
From the United States they had returned - expelled as undesirable - Francesco and Tommaso Inzerillo, u truttaturi and u muscuni, the brother and cousin of Totuccio, the "king" of international drug trafficking killed in 1981 by Riina. Their names were already in the ruling Spatola trial signed in 1980 by then investigating judge Giovanni Falcone just arrived from the Bankruptcy section. In that process Falcone became the number one enemy of the Mafia, developing his method: "We must follow the money", he repeated. And this path was followed by deputy prosecutors Amelia Luise and Roberto Tartaglia (now consultant to the anti-mafia commission), who started this investigation three years ago; requests for arrests (which led to a detention for 15 people and an order of 4 for the magistrate, including the mayor) also have the signatures of the prosecutors Francesco Gualtieri and Giuseppe Antoci.
It seems to re-read Falcone's cards, even though we are no longer in 1980. In handcuffs, Alessandro Mannino, the favorite nephew that Totuccio had had studied, ended up giving him an elegant wardrobe, because he was in charge of maintaining relations with the banks. In handcuffs Rosario Gambino, one of the drug traffickers that Falcone had followed in his continuous journeys between Palermo and the United States.
The new Dome
Then as today, the Inzerillo cousins looked after the financial aspect of the family. In recent times, in Palermo, they were even courted by a loyalist of Riina as Seventh Mine to be part of the new Dome. But they, once again, had wanted to remain in the shadows. Also because they did not trust the other mobsters: "As soon as they arrest them, they speak" (and, in fact, this is what happened with two mafia bosses). Francesco was in the family shop, the "Karton Plastik" in via Castellana 81, a wholesale of household products. Last December, after the blitz of the carabinieri that revealed Mineo's visits, we went to look for him. He said, "I don't know him. I don't know anything." He lied.
Giovanni Buscemi sat in the reconstituted provincial commission, he too was arrested tonight: in the eighties he was a killer, then he ended up in jail, but in recent months the life sentence had been commuted to him in 25 years, and he had been released from prison. The next day, the family promoted him for extraordinary merits, in many years of hard prison he never said a single word to a judge.
The investigation continues
It is the dawn of a new day on the city. The police have just removed the siege in via Castellana, the kingdom of the Inzerillo, a street that seems to come from a photo of the eighties. All around, there is a heavy silence. A senior walks fast and stops in front of the beautiful Madonnina of the Church of San Giuseppe. Via Castellana begins there, the gateway to Palermo's return to the past. Tonight, the guys from the Furniture firmly closed that door. But the ghosts of the past still linger in this city. It remains to discover the greatest secret of the Inzerillo, what they wanted to reveal Boris Giuliano and Giovanni Falcone: the millionaire treasure of international drug traffic accumulated in the seventies and eighties. That treasure, perhaps, is already rewriting the story of the new (old) mafia after the Riina era

Italian, U.S. police make arrests as Mafia clan looks to regroup
3 Min Read
PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - Italian and U.S. police have launched a coordinated crackdown against major crime families who were looking to rebuild their Mafia powerbase in Sicily, Italian investigators said on Wednesday.
More than 200 police, including officers from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have been carrying out 19 arrest warrants since dawn targeting the Inzerillo clan in Sicily’s capital Palermo and the New York-based Gambino family.
Sicily’s organised crime group, known as ‘Cosa Nostra’ (Our Thing), has been in a state of flux since the death of the feared boss of bosses Salvatore “Toto” Riina, who died in prison in 2017 after spending almost a quarter of century behind bars.
Riina launched a ferocious mafia war on the Mediterranean island in the 1980s, forcing the Inzerillo family into self-imposed exile in the United States as his own clan took over their territory in the Palermo suburbs.
The family has since looked to reclaim its old business, police said, helped by strong allies in New York.
“The investigation, dubbed ‘New Connection’, has registered the strong bond established between Cosa Nostra Palermo and U.S. organised crime, with particular reference to the powerful Gambino crime family of New York,” a police statement said.

The Gambino crime operation is one of the five historic Italian-American Mafia families in New York. Past charges against family operatives have included murder, loan sharking and illegal drug distribution.
The reported crime boss of the family, Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali, was gunned down in front of his Staten Island home in March. It was not clear if his murder had anything to do with tensions in Sicily.
Italian police said the suspects arrested on Wednesday faced a string of charges, including membership of the mafia, aggravated extortion, fraud and “unfair competition”.
Once all-powerful on Sicily, the Cosa Nostra has been squeezed over the past two decades, with many bosses put behind bars, many of its businesses sequestered and many locals ready to defy it.
Despite these setbacks, prosecutors have warned repeatedly that the group is looking to rebuild here.
The state’s fight against the Mafia got serious in 1992 after the group murdered two of Italy’s top magistrates, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, triggering national outrage and finally forcing complacent politicians to act.
Friday marks the 27th anniversary of Borsellino’s death.

Is this the same Tommy Gambino that’s made in the LA family?
