A river of dirty money travels between New York and Palermo. Inside credit cards. "I gave it to the little ones", said a mafioso who had just landed at the Falcone and Borsellino airport on a flight from the States. At the checks he had shown only the American Express, the other cards were well hidden in the backpack of his children. "What do they have to understand", the boss laughed while he talked to his father who had come to get him. What was the money for?
The latest investigation by the Carabinieri of the Investigative team coordinated by the Palermo prosecutor's office, which yesterday led to 10 arrests in Torretta, confirms the strong link between the American and Sicilian Cosa Nostra. "The picture of a single organization emerges", says General Arturo Guarino, the provincial commander of the Arma. The investigation confirms above all that overseas bosses are looking for investment channels in Sicily. Where now they are back strong. Torretta, which is part of the district of Passo di Rigano, that of the Inzerillo , is no longer the "losers" clan. After the death of Totò Riina , the boss of the bosses, Cosa Nostra has returned to the old masters of the past.

On 27 September three years ago, a member of the Gambino clan arrived at Falcone e Borsellino. This is Ernest Grillo , he is 65 years old. He was welcomed with full honors by Natale Puglisi , an entrepreneur considered organic to the Torretta clan, and was arrested last night. Grillo was accompanied to the beautiful villa of Fondo Anfossi, in Mondello, which had been rented for him. Villa with swimming pool. In the bedroom, he found a gift: 5 grams of cocaine. But this wasn't a pleasure trip, there had to be new business at stake. On 2 October, Puglisi accompanied Grillo to Baucina, probably to meet Enzo Varisco, a drug kingpin that Judge Falcone had already investigated in the 1980s, was convicted in the United States, today he runs a restaurant. The next day, Ernest Grillo went to Torretta to meet Raffaele Di Maggio , considered the new head of the family. The police investigation also brought two of his close collaborators to prison: Ignazio Antonino Mannino and Calogero Badalamenti . On October 4th, Ernest Gallo returned to the States.
A few months later, in April 2019, another Gambino family emissary flew to Sicily, to Favara. We know this from another investigation, conducted by the Ros. He was looking for a large company in crisis. To fill with money. And then make it fail, "a fraudulent thing", he explained to the Sicilians. In order to make millions of euros disappear. A maxi recycling operation. "The money comes from Singapore", said the agrigentini mafia who discussed the proposal after the meeting. "They leave us 20 percent." More business in Sicily. From New York to Palermo they moved as if they were a single clan, this emerges from the investigation coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Salvo De Luca , by the substitutes Amelia Luise and Giovanni Antoci .

The Puglisi brothers spoke of a mysterious man who was to be punished in the USA. There it was not possible. The ceremony was held in Torretta. Here is another emblematic story: the day he was killed in New York Frank Cali, the head of the Gambino family - it was March 13, 2019 - investigators recorded a lot of fibrillation live in Sicily. "This picciutteddu went crazy for the Torrettesi", said the bosses. Once, he was also intercepted on the phone with the Sicilian mafia. Only after a few hours, the godparents calmed down: there was no traitor in the family, Frankie Boy, as he was nicknamed, had been killed by a fool. The confirmation came from a trip to America made by Natale Puglisi's son, Baldassare. On his return, he reported to his father the interview he had with Ernest Grillo, and did not suspect that the car was intercepted: "he said:" Tell your father that everything is fine "". The successor of Frank Calì was already there: the young man named Silvester Davì, officially only the owner of an ice cream shop in New York. "Silvestro has climbed the step ... he is in charge now ... he tells us all what they must do and what they must not do".
This transatlantic clan thing. Someone explain how Davi is Calis successor. I believe he's head of " Sicilian ops in NY", not of the actual Gambino family. Many disagree. Make it make sense.....
