It closes a year that has seen important successes in the fight against the mafia with the arrest of Falsone and Messina. The report by the DIA, however, describes a province of Agrigento in check and still more a threat: the heavy infiltration of the Mafia in public procurement. Operation Family Castrofilippo it was just one example "Cosa Nostra Agrigento, though hard hit in recent years by major police operations resulted also from the statements of collaborators of justice, has managed to maintain a strong influence territory, confirming the location of the existing districts in the province of Agrigento mafia, who are in Porto Empedocles, of Casteltermini of Quisquina, Ravanusa, Sambuca di Sicilia, Sciacca and Ribera.
At present, various research results show that the provincial representative of the organization due to the Cosa Nostra mafia, until his recent arrest, he was the fugitive Joseph Falsone, who succeeded Maurizio Di Gati, actually associate justice. With the arrest of
Falsone, which took place in Marseille on June 25 as part of a collaboration between the Italian and French police, the subject of free higher caliber criminal, who, presumably, could assume the regency of the province Mafia Gerlandino Messina was the fugitive, but he was apprehended last Favara in November, after ten years of inaction.
appears significant capture of a foreign person of high caliber mafia, which Falsone, as that fact seemed to break the stereotype of behavior that "require" the presence in Sicily of the leaders who wished to retain fugitives real leadership.
were therefore achieved important results in the capture of others at large, following a comprehensive investigation on the fabric mafia, whose effects are even more profound disruption of associations, as was the case March 26, when the Police Department's Operation Agrigento and the Provincial Command of the operational heart of the Ecological Palermo, have implemented a preventive measure against Pino Gambino, considered to be the head of the Mafia family and head of Ravanusa district of Campobello di Licata. In the same context
investigating seven other people were arrested, all suspected loyalists of Joseph Falsone.
The operation, called "Apocalypse," which hit the Mafia organization operating in the territories of Campobello di Licata, Canicattì Ravanusa and, once again highlighted the undisputed top-down role in the province of Agrigento at the time covered by Giuseppe Falsone.
The findings of this investigation have the details of what our interest to Agrigento areas of large-scale distribution and disposal of waste and the relations of contiguity with the exponent mafia known local businessmen, been caused through the management of contracts relating primarily to the design, construction and operation of the landfill of Campobello di Licata, and the design and the construction of the store Eurospin of that place.
It is undisputed that the Falsone had a key role in site selection and operational management of that landfill, taking annually, with the connivance of entrepreneurs and public administrators, huge profits, even at the expense of environmental protection and health of citizens, as well come accertato nel corso delle attività investigative e degli accertamenti di caratteri ispettivo.
L’attiva compartecipazione di Giuseppe Falsone nella gestione della discarica di Campobello di Licata è stata confermata da una serie di approfondimenti su parte del materiale sequestrato in passato, in una abitazione dislocata nelle campagne fra Cianciana (AG) e Palazzo Adriano (PA) ed utilizzata come rifugio dal capomafia agrigentino prima del suo arresto. Infatti, tra le carte sequestrate, sono stati rinvenuti alcuni documenti contabili. riconducibili alla gestione finanziaria della discarica. Varie risultanze processuali hanno confermato, ancora una volta, che, tra le principali attività delle famiglie mafiose, occupa un posto di rilievo lace from the collection of entrepreneurs and traders.
These considerations illuminate a very wide spectrum of delittuosità mafia, which moves from classical predatory activities, leading to the direct management of commercial activities, especially in the areas of large food distribution, waste disposal, construction of buildings, the provision of concrete and aggregates.
delittuosità To better understand the overall subject of the Mafia in the province, the DIA has put together historical information SDI, on behalf of 48 subjects reported by local police offices, in the period between 1 June 2009 and May 31, 2010. It feels so that crimes Tool related to the criminal history of this population relate essentially to the circuit extortion, to robbery, criminal association, but also, significantly, the troubled freedom of the enchantments, the fraudulent transfer of values \u200b\u200band the crime of drug trafficking. In context, albeit marginal, faces wear. A
everything you connect the interests of the criminal organization to public contracts which, as noted, are a proven system of misappropriation of public funds, as reported by different survey activities, claiming that the local associations, under extortion, 2% of the total value of the tender awarded. The Mafia organization Agrigento, reflecting the impact of significant measures to prevent capital imposed on its members, is going through a serious period of difficulty because they are drawn from stocks of relief, having survived even the outcomes of previous criminal investigations.
paradigm is the story of two brothers, entrepreneurs in the oil sector, originating Racalmuto (AG), which incurred, February 23 and April 14, DIA, he experienced a seizure of assets worth a total of about 52 million € .
On 8 June, always the DIA in further investigation, scoring more operations to seize other assets related to family of purpose, which covered seven life insurance policies worth a total of € 230,000.00.
The brothers were arrested in 2007 as part of Operation Domino 2 ", and were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009, the Court of Assizes in Agrigento, for the murder of Marian Mancuso happened to Aragon (AG) in 1992 (sentence was upheld on appeal).
In the case, had been shown the value of criminal brothers, their close relations with the Mafia chiefs pro tempore of the province of Agrigento Fragapane Salvatore, Giuseppe Fanara and Maurizio Di Gati, to which these entrepreneurs turned to resolve disputes to their subsequent activities usurers, to go to get the violent suppression of Mancuso, who refused to return the money was borrowed. E 'was ascertained that the same Fragapane had invested money in illegality of what our activities initiated by the two proposals, thanks to the unconditional organization, were so successful at increasing personal wealth. The elements of knowledge drawn from sources of evidence in relation to the frequency and intensity of the relationship between the two brothers and members of prominent Mafia association, as well as their activism nell'usura, led to the finding that the large assets seized is the result of re-use of illicit funds acquired over the years on what our Agrigento in illegal activities or apparently legal.
part of the mafia penetration in the DIA procurement, hereinafter survey "Minoa", which resulted in the disruption of the Mafia family in Cattolica Eraclea and the Montallegro has completed the seizure of assets of shares and business of a company involved in the construction sector, caused by one of those arrested in November 2009 in the wake of the police operation.
With regard to damages, it should be noted that there still remains the consummation of acts of intimidation against the company "Daedalus Environment", which are realized with the burning of bins, resulting in considerable damage and loss. Similar damages were suffered by other companies who are interested in the disposing of waste.
The phenomenon of usury is one of the most recent criminal sectors of the economy, which sees the use of what our Agrigento. The weakness of Agrigento
companies, unable to withstand the crisis of the productive sectors, gives the fabric mafia capacity of accreditation, the money put into circulation the result of illegal activities and, eventually, to get hold of the companies, once captured all’interno dei percorsi usurari.
Infatti, il protrarsi della crisi economica ha accresciuto l’esposizione di piccole e medie imprese in crisi di liquidità a derive usuraie e predatorie, che vengono sempre più praticate dalla componente mafiosa.
L’aiuto dell’incidenza del fenomeno è significativo e si registrano, in particolare, casi nei comuni di Porto Empedocle, Agrigento e Canicattì.”
Tutto questo in attesa di capire quando e come possa essere assicurato alla giustizia Matteo Messina Denaro, l’ultimo superlatitante, consapevoli del fatto però che la criminalità organizzata, come un cancro, si è ramificata in diversi aspetti della vita pubblica isolana e nazionale and eradicate it or not does not depend on capturing one man but by genuine cultural revolution that would allow the company to shake off the mafia, or rather the mafias. As long as there are isolated instances of courage, rebellion, desire to change things and not a general awareness, until then will remain valid in the words of journalist Pippo Fava killed by the Mafia on January 5, 1984 in Catania because had discovered and wrote too: "Sometimes I have to explain who makes him do, I lose. So, you know how it ends. One time or another: half a million to a boy and all that awaits you in the house ... "is the half-million
They found that the boy whatever.
