There is a common thread that unites Sicily to Lombardy and that passes through Milan, up to Partanna. This thread of close relationships woven by the Trapani mafia reaches as far as Venezuela and is what Matteo Messina Denaro built during his hiding place with the help of unsuspected entrepreneurs, lawyers and professionals.
These routes that unite northern Italy with Sicily and Latin America are administered by the super fugitive who boasts a management of unsuspected activities ranging from the drug business and drug trafficking to livestock breeding and money laundering. behind great works and events such as Expo.
Let's start with the latter. As shown by the investigations of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, the affairs of the gangs took place in the shadow of Expo thanks to a key man, Giuseppe Nastasi who, together with his father Calogero, is one of the drivers of the contracts piloted with respect to the construction of the Expo pavilions. Through their company Nolostand, numerous pavilions have been set up linked to countries such as France, Qatar or sponsors such as the well-knownPoretti Brewery .
It is a river of money that did not pass through company accounts but left directly from Milan, through trucks that carried suitcases, bags and boats that hid avalanches of money ready to be transported to Sicily, Liechtenstein or the countries of Eastern Europe. . These are figures that often travel by plane and that amount to 300/400 thousand euros in cash. A business led by Giuseppe Nastasi who, as shown by the wiretapping related to the Expo investigation, is a strong and tough man. A man who has a real boss attitude in his criminal behavior.
The investigations carried out by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office shed light on very important facts and helped to clarify the picture that emerged from the Year Zero investigation conducted by the Trapani police. This investigation led to the arrest of the brothers-in-law of Matteo Messina Denaro , Gaspare Como and Rosario Allegra and of characters such as Nicola Accardo , the Partannese who appears to be the link between the boss Messina Denaro and his Venezuelan and Milanese affairs.
The entrepreneur Nastasi, as shown by the wiretapping acquired in the Year Zero survey , has a deep respect for Nicola Accardoand proves to know the dynamics of the Partanna clan well. It is Accardo himself who commands the Partanna clan, as can be deduced from the interceptions of Nastasi, from which also emerges an encounter that the same would have had in Milan, probably with Matteo Messina Denaro or with his alter ego Nicola Accardo . A meeting went very well and took place after the signing of important contracts linked to Expo that would have brought a lot of money to be directed to Sicily.
But let's understand more closely who Nicola Accardo is . This is the key man to whom the superboss Messina Denaro has conferred the appointment of undisputed leader and his alter ego in his business and in the relationships to be held, especially after the arrest of Patrizia Messina Denaro, which took place in 2013.
After years of inaction in Venezuela to escape a mafia investigation in 1982, Accardo was able to interact with one of the reference families of the South American dome, linked to Messina Denaro, and thus began to make his way for the qualities that were recognized by the super fugitive within his companies and business. Businesses ranging from drug trafficking to businesses to a printing press of false documents, useful for guaranteeing the inaction of those who went from Sicily to Venezuela.
In '96 Accardo took care of getting the pizzini direct to Messina Denaro and to his personal doctor Vincenzo Pandolfo, cousin of Accardo himself, known as the good doctor, who formed himself after a long hiding and was found mysteriously dead in the prison of Caserta in 2010.
In those little pizzas found, Accardo it is indicated with the code "W". It was he who wrote to Matteo Messina Denaro , calling him by the code name "Manuele", and to his doctor Pandolfo, inviting him to spend his hiding in Venezuela where he had to take care of one of the Messina Denaro breeding companies that it wasn't going well. The deal was followed by Antonino Augello and Gaspare Bianco , both representatives of the Trapani mafia in Venezuela.
In those pizzini there was also talk of Franco Safina, found dead in 2002 in Venezuela in a strange car accident. The man had returned to the South American country after a path of collaboration with justice undertaken during the prison in Italy. From the pizzini it appears that Messina Denaro himself took care of Safina's release, because he would have had to carry out important favors on behalf of some people from Palermo.
Safina ended up in prison first in Germany and then in Italy for drug trafficking he had dealt with between Spain, Germany and Italy, again on behalf of Messina Denaro. Once in prison, he began his path of collaboration and spoke precisely of the intertwining and presence of the Trapani cell in Venezuela and of the question of the chicken farming company linked to Matteo Messina Denaro .
Safina tells the public prosecutors how this company was bought in Venezuela by the super fugitive and the dense network of collusion present in the South American country, linked to money laundering that passes and takes place directly through Venezuelan banks such as Banco del Venezuela, Banco Capital or Banco Unione and through people who act as front names or intermediaries for money laundering. One of these is Rubino, a person that the clan uses for money trafficking that passes through the United States. In the case of the breeding company, Gaspare Bianco was used as a figurehead.
Safina explains that money laundering and laundering often takes place with very simple methods, especially if you are dealing with old-fashioned mafia like the Augellos, not accustomed to using technologies like computers. Augello was defined by Safina not from the brain up as the Fontana, more organized in having great accountants and in looking after institutional relations. It was precisely the Fontana who introduced Nicola Accardo to Safina.
Safina talks to the PM about Nicola Accardo's intense bond with Matteo Messina Denaro, describing Accardo as the closest person to Messina Denaro as Matteo's childhood friend. It was therefore Safina who first spoke of their bond which he became aware of directly when he was asked to take care of the construction of an alibi for an important man to be protected. This is Salvino Madonia , son of the district head of Resuttana di Palermo.
Safina reports that Augello was summoned directly by Leoluca Bagarella and Matteo Messina Denaroin the province of Agrigento to solve the case which also required the help of Safina himself, who had to take care of having his wife testify to cover Madonia, constructing an alibi. In this way he would have avoided the conviction for the murder of Natale Mondo and the massacre of the market in Viale Francia in Palermo. Augello reported that Bagarella and Messina Denaro were extremely close and hugged every minute during this meeting. As is clear from his testimony, Accardo had a certain moral caliber recognized within Cosa Nostra.
The latest recent Year Zero survey, coordinated by the Palermo Anti-Mafia District Prosecutor and led by the Trapani mobile team, redraws a precise map of Cosa Nostra Trapani led by its undisputed leader, Messina Denaro, boss of the Castelvetrano district.
.In Alcamo the district chief is Nino Melodia , who succeeded his brother Ignazio Melodia now in prison.
In Castellammare del Golfo, instead, 'don Ciccio Tempesta' alias Francesco Domingo , heir of 'don Tano Seduto' , Gaetano Badalamenti , commands .
An important man who will soon end his detention is Mariano Asaro , a man who frequented the gangs, near the lodges of deviant Freemasonry.
Other important men who are free today are the sons of Vincenzo Virga , Pietro and Francesco Virga . Don Ciccio Pace has remained in his cell since
In the panorama of the Trapani mafia it would seem that the affiliates of the Minore clan are back on good terms with Messina Denaro thanks to the mediation of Franco Orlando , recently released from prison. Orlando was private secretary of the deputy Bartolo Pellegrino .
As shown by some interceptions, it would seem one of the leaders of the Trapani mafia who in silence maintains relations with the Freemasons and the gangs.
Among those who will soon be free again there are also three members of the Messina Denaro family: Matteo's brother , Salvatore Messina Denaro , former director of one of the agencies of Banca Sicula, and his two brothers-in-law Filippo Guttadauro and Vincenzo Panicola . While his sister Patrizia Messina Denaro remains under arrest as well as his favorite nephew Francesco Messina Denaro .
The Messina Denaro family network boasts excellent arrests, while in the shadow of her inaction, the elderly mother, widow of the patriarch of Belice Don Ciccio, contemplates the photos of her son scattered in every room of the house. The power network of the super fugitive remains undisputed, but something begins to falter since men like Giuseppe Grigoli , former king of Despar supermarkets, have begun to tell some important background of Messina Denaro's power system.
