Ten years ago, he wandered in the streets of Corleone with the car full of bags. Inside there were clothes, food, sheets of paper, pizzini: the correspondence and the necessities of life, of which he had need Bernardo Provenzano. And according to his nephew, Carmelo Gariffo – in the code used in the pizzini indicated only with a number: 123 – who, in 2006, the investigators were able to find the accountant of cosa nostra, a fugitive for 43 years and then stopped in a farmhouse to the mountain of the Horses in his village of Corleone. Ten years after Gariffo has finished serving his sentence for having favoured the evasion of the important uncle, but in prison, returns to us with the accusation of having attempted to reorganize the mafia clan in the city, in the province of Palermo.
The name of the grandson of the nation’s economy is in fact in the top of the list of 12 people arrested from the last operation, anti-mafia prosecutor in Palermo. The gip Fabrizio clothes, textiles and clothing has signed the order for pre-trial detention requested by the prosecutor added Leonardo Agueci and substitutes Sergio Demontis, Caterina Malagoli, Gaspar Hospital. This is the fourth tranche of the investigation, the the Great Step, which in the past years, see the police monitor every movement of the cosa nostra by the parties of Corleone, Palazzo Adriano, Chiusa Sclafani. And now the arrests are finished in 12: in addition to the nephew of Provenzano, Bernardo Saporito, Francesco Scianni, Leoluca The Ox (which is a child of the Rosary, elder boss of corleone already involved in the previous investigations), Peter Vaccaro, Vincent Coscino and Vito Biagio Filippello (both workers of the Forest). Already in prison, are, instead, Antonino Di Marco, Vincenzo Pellitteri and Peter Masaracchia, the two Francis Geraci (grandson and son of an old boss). Investigators have also imposed the measure of probation for two landowners who had asked the clan to murder a relative for a question of inheritance. The price of a murder from the parts of Corleone, in the year 2016? the three thousand euros. "We want someone that takes responsibility and then: “you by paying you say, you want to the fact this talks, exit three thousand euro, and closed here…", is in fact the board that Masaracchia me to one of the clients, while the bugs of the police record everything.
on the Gariffo, however, that the military focus their attention. Arrested in 2006, the grandson of Provenzano was free for three years: the investigators in the identify, all the while speaking with Marco, a municipal employee in the meantime become the regent of the clan, and stopped in the past few months. "Just one, there is no need of percent, but this does not mean that things we must do and we must try to see how to resolve the situation," says Gariffo, intercepted, referring to the extortion. A rome in the carpet that holds up for decades in a system conspiracy, but this time it is broken: it is thanks to the complaints of some of the entrepreneurs are harassed by the cosa nostra, in fact, that the investigators were able to snare the nephew of Provenzano. There are eight small artisans of Chiusa Sclafani, Palazzo Adriano and Corleone, for the first time, have decided to collaborate with the judiciary: in these parts a real event. "A great help in the course of investigation, has come from the social network formed by the Addiopizzo that along with the police is spending to the growth of this network that has allowed us to collect the collaboration of several entrepreneurs who have admitted to have paid the pizzo," he said in the press conference, Giuseppe De Riggi, provincial commander of the carabinieri of Palermo. "The Big task to step 4, he explained, always the military – the emergence of some of the distinguishing elements that emphasize localism mafia, and the attempt of generational change, but always focusing on the surnames of noble. The territory is the strength of this organization is the system and that claims to control everything, from the smallest of contracts to inheritance disputes. A localism to defend like a fortress besieged, and that shows some element of disruptive".
And indeed, according to the dossier of the acts of the council of Ministers, which a few weeks ago, he ordered the dissolution of the Town, Corleone cosa nostra was able to get my hands on some sectors of the administrative life of local. As for example, the company that was to collect taxes, but that she was careful to do it when to pay, were to be the relatives and the families of the capo mafias night.
The last episode of the inquiry a Large Step has also documented the economic emergency facing the clan of Corleone: Gariffo, and others, for example, had urgent need of money. And, in fact, talking about an “extortion” to the detriment of the entrepreneur, said: "We have to try. We must try to many reasons. A because they are cleared completely. And then I think there is a need for it, I’m not the only one to have the need, but there are very, starting with my uncle, and my uncle, certain things, not if it deserves". And uncle of course, is Binnu Provenzano, the accountant of cosa nostra, who died in July last year.
