Drug trafficker Pascal Molinelli from Corsica

Post by Dwalin2014 »

Have been currently reading articles and online excerpts from organized crime books I haven't bought yet, there is an interesting character often mentioned: Pascal Molinelli, a drug trafficker from Corsica, said to be the Lucky Luciano's right-hand man in drug trafficking since even before World War 2, who also worked with Sicilians including Tommaso Buscetta, Pietro Davi' and Rosario Mancino. Some articles in Italian, like this one

say he was wanted by USA, Italy and France, but none of them had his fingerprints and there was only one photo with him and several people among whom the general Thomazo who led the military take-over in Algiers. The article also lists these people as his business partners in crime:

Michel De Val (from Nice)
Salomone Gonzales (from Tangier)
Francesco Bonis (from S. Remo)
Elio Forni (from Marbella, Malaga in Spain)

However, it's not just this article, google gives you many results if you type his name, what interests me is what happened at the end? Was Molinelli ever captured, whacked, did he die a free man or isn't it known at all how and where did he end up?
