Police filmed a meeting in Palermo between Tommaso Inzerillo and Totò Catalano, acting boss of Bonanno family in the early '80s. On August 9th 2018 the investigators followed a car left from Ciminna with two men, one of them was Catalano, who went to Palermo in order to meet Inzerillo.

Can you post the article that says that?

Strax where are you seeing that?

Here is the article: https://www.quotidianocontribuenti.com/ ... -crollato/

It was my mistake, conflict was with Salvatore Badalamenti, he is Vito's nephew.Cali was offended because he was excluded from some construction jobs in NY.

After reading this article again, a question...

Was Calis Circus Fruits all his? Or was it in partnership, with one or more of the Inzerillo/ Gambinos?
The fruit I believe came from Sicily and Calabria... they seem really tied into Sicoly...

Greco-Lo Piccolo, art relatives with a desire for mafia

"The rules of Cosa Nostra? Guarded in Corleone"

"This is a kid, though, that is, he looks like he has an old man inside, but he's a boy." So the newly repentant Francesco Colletti , a 49-year-old former head of the Villabate, describes to the public prosecutors the rise of Leandro Greco at the top of the Ciaculli mandate. His collaboration with justice, together with that of Filippo Bisconti , former boss of Belmonte Mezzagno, could create a real earthquake within the mafia consortium of Palermo. It is also thanks to their statements that the role of the two art relatives ended up in handcuffs was more delineated in the operation of yesterday that took development from "Cupola 2.0". In fact, besides Greco, Calogero Lo Piccolo was arrested, a "guarantee" for the mafia organization of San Lorenzo-Tommaso Natale and neighboring families, as well as Giovanni Sirchia, Giuseppe Serio, Erasmo Lo Bello, Pietro Lo Sicco and Carmelo Cacocciola . Judged by the magistrates on 21 December 2018, Colletti confirmed the existence of a reorganization project of the Provincial Commission, promoted by the Greek who called himself "Michele", probably in honor of his grandfather, known as the "Pope" who for years was He was at the very top of the Commission until his arrest in 1986.
"Michele Greco tells me that we have ..., we have to make an appointment, then he let me know and in this appointment the chief leaders of Palermo had to participate,- he told the prosecutors - he is a kid even if he has an old man inside ... He does not speak badly, and the brain has it ... I always thought he had made up his mind that he had to be the head of this commission " .



It is very probable that young Greco had the right "friendships" within other families. His brother, Emilio Nicolò , had married the daughter of Gregorio Di Giovanni , the mafia boss of Porta Nuova and another member of the provincial commission of Cosa Nostra.
Then there were opportunities. In 2013, Giovanni Di Giacomo , speaking in jail with his brother Giuseppe who would soon be assassinated, made a reference to the young Greco also commenting on the possible rise of Ciaculli compared to Brancaccio because in the historic mandate of the Graviano referent Pietro Tagliaviahe was controlled by law enforcement. What is certain is that given the weight that Brancaccio has had within Cosa Nostra in the years of the massacres, and not only that, it seems difficult to believe at least that there has not been a "well-being" by historians capimafia, currently held in 41 bis .

The rules of Cosa Nostra
The former boss of Villabate, who in the interceptions recorded while talking with his driver had already unveiled to the investigators the meeting, he then described all the outlines of that meeting with the leaders of the families of Palermo. There were almost all of them. It was this Seventh Mineo , the Pagliarelli family and already arrested last December, and even Gregorio Di Giovanni .
" Michele Grecohe often spoke, saying that we must do serious things, we must organize ourselves so that only we who meet and gather will have to know things - said Colletti -. These were the main rules if someone does something without the authorization of his boss can be put out. "
A list of rules that would be" documented "to Corleone: " We must respect the ancient rules - he added - and apparently these rules someone guards them and I think it is Corleone. I believe that these rules are kept in Corleone. " So it is not so far from the past this new mafia 2.0 that focuses on young offspring to rebuild their foundations and carry out new business."What do you keep in mind? What is something written?" , asked the pm. And Colletti replied: "Yes, yes, yes, I repeat I'm new to certain situations, but I tell you that in that appointment the Bisconti ( Filippo Bisconti , boss of Misilmeri ed ) told him to the Greek (Capomafia di Ciaculli ed ): 'You can not say this has to participate and this does not have to participate, do not talk about rules because the rules, the written ones, must be kept and the rules are dated, I do not know how many hundreds of years'. I do not know who has it, but there are also written these rules and in any case that Bisconti knows " .

Greek lopiccolo

Divisions
At that meeting on May 29, it was also decided that further meetings would be held later ( "We had to do a meeting every two months, a month and a month, not first of all to get to know each other") also because they lacked prominent figures like the same Bisconti who with an excuse (he said he had been afraid of being followed) did not show up. Yesterday, the prosecutors highlighted the fact adding that Bisconti himself, who in recent weeks has begun to collaborate with justice, said he "fear" the Commission. Not only. There were two different currents of thought about how it should have been set. Does this mean that there was a rift in the criminal organization? Probably the further investigations will be able to clarify these aspects but in the meantime it is striking that the two subjects who were in disagreement with Greco (Bisconti and Colletti) decided to "skip the ditch". But what was the plan of the young scion of Ciaculli?
Greco would have tried to assert the hegemony of the Palermo clans to the detriment of the families of the countries trying to impose a palermocentric vision, also creating the role of the "supervisor" of the province mandates. An attitude that not even the boss Gregorio Di Giovanni , who also became a relative of the nephew of the "Pope", could have justified. Was this enough to generate a contrast? After all the same Bisconti, according to Colletti, was the "representative" of the province ( "the Bisconti told me that whatever I needed I had to talk to him about the province ... It was known that we had to talk with the Bisconti because he was dealing with the mandates of the countries "). This could mean that there was something else. And it is the same Colletti to confirm the data: "The Greek tells me, first all the praise, you're a good person, blah, blah, blah, tells me that in the next appointment in September I did not have to participate, do not take it, it's not something to you. What is the comparison? If you're telling me that I do not have to participate, you first harassed me to fix up the family (referring to the Villabate clan)that we absolutely did not want. The explanation that gives me is that, since the Bisconti had to bring the representatives of the countries, we could not hold meetings ten people, twenty people, fifteen people, I do not know how they were, this ..., the number I do not know, but he tells me: we can not, that is, there are no conditions, so we have all of us arrested. " That proposal, however, was not welcomed by Colletti also because Greco, in proposing the problem, also proposed the solution:"Let's make sure that, since you're from a country, you make yourself represent or be decided by someone in this group, you make you represent, when the meetings end, the person who represented your address will tell you the situations I was disappointed and it was obvious, I did not like it because it seemed like something against me ... I said but what's going on? There's something wrong " .



The return of Lo Piccolo
Unlike Greco, Calogero Lo Piccolo was not at the first experience in Cosa Nostra. He had already been convicted of mafia and returned to freedom in April 2018 after serving his sentence. Investigators have been monitoring it for some time and investigations have shown that, despite the long absence, it had not lost its role in the mandate.

Extortion: in Mondello the monopoly on the supply of fish
The investigation, in addition to confirming the dynamics of the new Commission, has revealed some extortion and the attempt of one of the arrested to establish itself as the sole fish dealer in the restaurants of Mondello, seaside resort of Palermo , and Sferracavallo. Thus it emerged that Giuseppe Serio, one of the arrested, was imposed on other merchants promoting the interests of the company officially registered to a relative.
"You ... in Mondello you can not sell seafood, here you do not have to sell seafood, go where you need to go and inform yourself", he told another dealer, and to the latter's question on what he should have Doing "to live" Serio replied: "I've been in jail, and now I'm here." The investigators, meanwhile, thanks to interceptions, recorded everything.
But the business of the Lo Piccolo family went even further. Cacocciola and Lo Sicco, entrepreneurs in the construction sector, would have dealt with the extortion. According to the prosecution they would provide preliminary information on the construction sites and companies in the earth-moving sector that operated between Isola delle Femmine and Capaci. Surveys also found that the percentage to be paid to the cosca would have been three percent. But there is also something else. The Chief Prosecutor Lo Voi and the Deputy De Luca have said that the new investigations will turn their gaze also "outside of Cosa Nostra". The earthquake triggered by the statements of Colletti and Bisconti could lead to new jolts.

Are any of these guys actually looking at serious time?

See, I'm my opinion, I see many parallels to the Caruanas and Rizzutos. It's like they use American mafia membership like a business license. They USE America to get money but their loyalty seems to be their own business interest. For the Sicilians its NY, the Calabrians its Toronto, Canada in general.

I could be wrong, but I think you guys can at least SEE where I've been coming from...

bert makes a good point.... What law was broken on the American side? By the Americans? It seems to be ALL Sicily....

You got Zito in Philly rigging elections in Sicily, so they can control the local food sector. That to me is an indication their business is tied into Sicily, they get liquidity in NY, and invest in Sicily. No way any wiseguys from Queens or Brooklyn eat off that.

I can SEE how this benefits the Inzerillos. The Sicilian clans with ties to NY always made the most money. They bearing this power to bear within the mafia.

I've BEEN baffled as to why the Gambinos keep getting involved. felice says Cali was scared to death if investigations. SO WHY DO THEY KEEP TRYING?

Where do the Inzerillos fit in, within the structure of the Gambinos? Why were they doing business with a Calabrian clan? Why did the Calabrians go through the NY, Gambinos... and not ANY of the Toronto clans?

Now, I know you guys say they arnt big in drugs, but what does that say about how connected to the networks they must be, to be sought out first by the entire Sicilian mafia in 2008, again by Calabrians 4-6 years later, then 5 years later, AGAIN we see the Gambinos deeply involved....

It really makes you wonder why Castellano didnt just back Antonio Inzerillo in the first fucking place......way back in 1980...

Cali’s power base was via his marriage to an Inzerillo and through her uncle (I think he was her uncle, maybe a cousin) John Gambino. Some of those Sicilians in New York I would assume are more concerned with NY and aren’t super concerned with Sicily, but the real heavy hitters who come from all of those mafia royalty families from Palermo still care about Sicily greatly.

They ran the Sicilian mafia for decades but lost control and had to flee to America. So to me they view retaking control over the Sicilian mafia as their birthright, part of their destiny. Real life Game of Thrones family destiny and bloodlines shit.

And since John Gambino and the Inzerillos are not only Cali’s powerbase but his family via marriage (or were since he passed), Cali was always going to support them in what they wanted. What’s he going to do, tell them no and lose all his support? Of course he’ll say yes, but try to only send orders through one or two guys to keep his name out of wiretaps and indictments.

Increasing their power back in Palermo only strengthens their power in New York. They wanted to control both sides of the Atlantic again like when Don Carlo ran everything and his cousins or relatives or whoever ran all of Sicily.

And yes, I know what you’re saying about drugs and I agree they were probably going to setup a new international pipeline (or already have), but to me it’s more about power. But then again drugs are what gave all of those Sicilians in the Gambinos enough power to take back control from the Gotti loyalists in the first place.

See the family thing works with the Sicilian mafia....

But when they started up with the Ursinos? Calabrians? It cant be explained away with " family obligations"...

You guys forget that Jackie D'Amico and Nick Corazzo helped John Gambino regain his Capo position and Cali came up under Jackie.

That’s not mutually exclusive. They want to take back Palermo and control over Sicily, but obviously the Sicilian mafia is much weaker than they were decades ago. So they’d need contacts internationally to strengthen their power and help rebuild their drug pipelines.

In addition to their relatives in America, and who better than the Calabrians to make allies with?
