Matteo Messina Denaro

Post by OcSleeper »

Dutch police have arrested a man they believe to possibly be Matteo Messina Denaro, Sicilian Mafia Boss who has been on the run since 1993.

On twitter Anna Sergi just shared this article, which states the man arrest was not Matteo Messina Denaro. From my translation of the article it seems like they're just going off of what the man's lawyer has said.

The lawyer said that is not Messina Denaro but Mark L. from Liverpool.
The lawyer was arrested years ago for a drug ring involving sicilian and calabrian families.

So based on that, what are your thoughts on it being MMD?

Could you link an article about that? From what I can find is this Leon Van Kleef was followed by police in another investigation in 2020. But I have no idea if it's even the same person or just another lawyer with the same name.

His father was never caught , he died from heart attack while on the run. Well Provenzano was caught after 43 years.

The article doesn't state any specific information, only that the lawyer says it 's not Matteo Messina Denaro but some Englishman in a case of mistaken identity and that they took a dna sample to verify it. Then there us some general information on matteo denaro.
I dunno but i'd be surprised if they arrested the wrong guy....

According to informants he was for some time in Calabria sheltered by 'Ndrangheta. Corruption in Sicily & Calabria, good connections and his influence is keeping him safe so far.
