This is yet another episode of " pizza connection ", with the difference, now more and more constant, that it is a Calabrian and not a Sicilian pizzeria. The relationships with the Cosa Nostra families in New York, however, always remain standing. According to Sco Gigliotti moves authoritatively thanks to his proximity to Anthony Federici , considered "underboss" close to the historic Genovese family, owner of another well-known Italian-American restaurant, the "Park Side Restaurant", a few steps from Gigliotti's pizzeria. Investigators suspect that Gigliotti and his men also played a role in the trafficking of 3 tons of cocaine seized in Rotterdamlast November. Perhaps the largest cargo ever seized in the history of fighting narcotics trafficking. Certainly, according to the indictment, his restaurant was the cover to accommodate shoulder straps and traffickers both on the New York-Costa Rica route - for which he is attributed two kidnappings for a total of 60 kilos - and on the Calabrian one. And it is in Costa Rica - the investigators say - Gigliotti personally conducts relations with the top representatives of the Costa Rican narco traffic. In Calabria, however, his network could count on the brothers Francesco and Carmine Violi - arrested yesterday - linked to the Alvaro di Sinopoli clan.
But how does Gigliotti - as a complete stranger to the investigators - get to play this leading role? In reality, its history shows that there is no void in narco-traffic, because its definitive rise stems from the decline of an old debtor, Giulio Schirripa, arrested in the Solar investigation. Schirripa was also the owner of a restaurant in New York, but in 2008 he is hunted by half the world, as he is behind with payments to the Mexican cartel . The narcos look for him day and night, he postpones payments, and they threaten another big shot, his friend Christopher Castellano . Meanwhile he is intercepted and stalked by the FBI.
And if that wasn't enough, there is a certain “ Gregorio di Corona ” who is looking for him because he wants his money back: according to investigators, Uncle Gregory is already in charge. But Schirripa was soon arrested. Castellano - owner of the night club Kristal, son of big Joe, famous boss of Cosa Nostra - will be killed because he is suspected of collaborating with the FBI.
