00:00:28Today we open with a news with good wishes because you think that on April 26, 62
00:00:39a piece of shit Matteo Messina was born, money obviously has not yet been insured
00:00:49fathers from her for 28 years the boss of Cosa Nostra Matteo Messina denaro is a ghost
00:00:58Matteo Messina is wanted worldwide
00:01:01No one in the police force, the prosecutor's office, the secret services, knows what the face of Rina and Provenzano's heir looks like today.
00:01:09they only work on a hypothesis, a computer-generated identikit
00:01:14Matteo Messina is a moneylender precisely because he has a clear command of Cosa Nostra.
00:01:20to reach his goal he did not stop in front of the wall
00:01:25it is a system of power that resists hundreds of arrests
00:01:30accomplices
00:01:31colluding
00:01:33and relatives
00:01:34Like it or not, anyone who has a friend or relative arrested for mafia
00:01:38a period of hiding cemented in a territory that venerates him as a saint
00:01:49if they didn't take it it's the state's fault that it can't do it, not because of silence because they shouldn't use this
00:01:55language towards citizens
00:01:59by Matteo Messina Denaro who today at 59 years old only exists as a myth
00:02:04I met him one evening when he came to my place on my terrace bar
00:02:07he lived the good life, he spent money, he had luxury cars
00:02:12that of a fascinating person who, from being a fugitive, even became a father
00:02:18he was handsome and terrible, in short he also had a lot of women
00:02:22free yet guilty with not one but dozens of life sentences
00:02:27Matteo is a butcher Matteo is a bloodthirsty
00:02:30and from a distance the rapaciousness begins to shoot at me
00:02:33author of the most famous and terrible mafia massacres in Italy
00:02:38not even the ideas of this borsalino should remain
00:02:42this wants to ruin us all
00:02:45He killed business rivals but also men, women and children
00:02:50who were completely unrelated to the mafia, innocent victims that many have forgotten
00:02:56it was last night a bloody night that bomb totally changed my life
00:03:06Matteo Messina Denaro is a boss who combines ancient and modern
00:03:11who left his blood behind and focused everything on entrepreneurship
00:03:16These people don't work and they still get by because they obviously bring the money back to their homes.
00:03:22but who protects Matteo Messina Denaro, known as Uncle or Diabolic?
00:03:29Matteo Messina's money should be feared throughout Italy because it represents an institutional scandal.
00:03:45It is in the province of Trapani which has grown with public procurement and tourism
00:03:50that the national anti-mafia prosecutor places the center of power of Matteo Messina Money
00:04:07It is natural for me not to deal with the mafia, having chosen to be a journalist in the province of Trapani where I live.
00:04:16I am fortunate to work in this land from a purely professional point of view.
00:04:22to have alongside us this great, important and terrible phenomenon that is the mafia
00:04:28and in particular Matteo Messina Denaro
00:04:37in our province matteo messina denaro was the guarantor of the renewal of a pact
00:04:44not only with entrepreneurs but in my opinion also with a large part of the bourgeoisie of this territory
00:04:51and that's one of the reasons why his fugitive status holds up.
00:04:54few follow the entrepreneurial path to get to Messina money
00:04:59instead maybe one of the things that should be done
00:05:11when I say drills people have difficulty
00:05:15but when they come to this city, nobody wants to leave anymore
00:05:19this is a beautiful city
00:05:22this is drills it can't be painted in a different way
00:05:37an entrepreneur, unfortunately being Sicilian, and having a minimum of success
00:05:43and this entrepreneurial bi-mafia is made
00:05:47but it's not like that
00:05:50there is a lot of talk about racketeering
00:05:52I challenge anyone to find a dealer
00:05:56an entrepreneur who paid one lira
00:05:58in Trapani for the racket
00:06:02but I'm not the one saying it
00:06:03the pundits said it
00:06:04the investigations have proven it
00:06:06that all the most important works
00:06:08in Trapani
00:06:09they did the northern enterprise
00:06:12with all the races rigged
00:06:13point
00:06:15you still believe in the mafia
00:06:17to the anti-racket etc.
00:06:18these are ridiculous things
00:06:21Matteo Mr. Money
00:06:22it doesn't exist in Trapani
00:06:24nobody knows it
00:06:29I used the Trapani area
00:06:32in the land of many
00:06:33together with Matteo Mr. Money
00:06:39the people of Trapani were, let's say, rewarded in some way by Riina
00:06:45through participation in procurement interests
00:06:49something that didn't happen before
00:07:00In my opinion, the mafia moves to make small gains
00:07:05It's not that he moves for ideals
00:07:11From 1984 to 1987 I was the manager of the Castelvetrano police station
00:07:28we were trying to understand how the economic aspect was moving
00:07:34which is difficult because at least at that time she was the mafioso
00:07:39take on the role of an entrepreneur
00:07:42I don't know about the Partanna mafia war
00:07:44one had an olive cooperative
00:07:49another was the owner of a concrete plant and so on
00:07:52that is, the father of Messina money Matteo
00:07:55he had land, he was a farmer
00:07:59Matteo Messina's father is Don Ciccio Messina
00:08:02the farmer is written in his identity card
00:08:05like Matteo Messina money we would call campiere
00:08:07the foreman is the person who acts as an intermediary
00:08:10between the peasants and the powerful baron who is the owner of the faith
00:08:16in this case the barons are those of the Trapani Dalì family
00:08:20which also has large plots in Castelvetrano
00:08:25the most famous member of the Dalí family is Antonio Dalí
00:08:30who was also undersecretary in the Berlusconi government
00:08:37Dalí claims to be a victim of Messina money scam
00:08:39that is, in the sense that he had it there and had to suffer its criminal strategies
00:08:44rather than being complacent or having been favored by it
00:08:51Messina money Francesco was authoritative
00:08:54let's say we also paid attention to the son by dragging him along
00:09:01I met Matteo Messina in 1988
00:09:06and there had been a murder in Castelvetrano and he was called among the others
00:09:14so he was a little resentful
00:09:20in 1992, on September 14th, something unthinkable happened
00:09:26I am the victim, this is the term, of an attack, by a fierce group of mafiosi
00:09:37In Mazzara del Vallo, Commissioner Rino Germana was ambushed.
00:09:41killers shoot and wound Commissioner Germana
00:09:50In December 1993 it was discovered that Messina denaro Matteo was probably the driver
00:09:58on his right was Leo Luca Bagarella and behind him was Graviano Giuseppe
00:10:06the order to kill me was given by Doctor Riina
00:10:13The attack on policeman Rino Germana opens a new season for Matteo Messina denaro
00:10:19that of the armed wing at the service of Doctor Riina
00:10:22from that moment on, the young Matteo becomes the protégé of the boss of bosses of Corleone
00:10:28his most trusted soldier
00:10:32Messina denaro was actually one of the closest advisors
00:10:37young people closer to Riina so much so that he was part of the so-called super thing
00:10:44Have you ever heard of a group called Superthing?
00:10:51yes in a meeting against Torriina in that period they talked about what they had to do
00:10:58or they had already made the super power of attorney and he as I think as a joke
00:11:03he said we do the super thing
00:11:06Who was this group made up of?
00:11:08what I'm talking about was me, Matteo and Graviano
00:11:14Are they both gravitating?
00:11:16Yes
00:11:16then Philip and Joseph
00:11:32I have been guilty of several crimes
00:11:36homocide
00:11:40extortion
00:11:43international drug trafficking
00:11:50and many other things
00:11:53I am Vincenzo Calcara
00:11:56that I started to collaborate with justice
00:12:02at the end of 1991 with Dr. Paolo Borsellino
00:12:18Matteo Messina Denaro
00:12:20when he was a kid other girls wanted to beat him up I defended him
00:12:27I went to Matteo's house with Matteo himself and Ruzzuciccio Francesco Messina Denaro
00:12:34he heals my wounds he gives me a nice little gift from that moment on he tells me you be careful
00:12:41my son
00:12:41but he was a 16-17 year old boy
00:12:49After ten years I saw Matteo
00:12:53he hugged me
00:12:56Enzo tells me
00:12:58and I haven't forgotten it
00:13:02and when I was little what did you do for me
00:13:08I see him as a big adult
00:13:12a charisma
00:13:14I can see right away that he has charisma but I automatically think that his father gave him a great education
00:13:24As a young man, Matteo Messina Denaro moved around Castelvetrano, Mazzara, in other words, the cities in the southern part of the province of Trapani.
00:13:31we can say as master
00:13:35and it was beautiful
00:13:37he was handsome and terrible, in short he also had a lot of women
00:13:42once he was at a restaurant, he was with a girl
00:13:47a guy compliments the girl, a guy who worked at the restaurant
00:13:50he tells him how beautiful your eyes are and they burn his car that same evening
00:13:55another time a traffic policeman gives him a ticket and they burn down his house
00:14:02and then there was Messina Denaro
00:14:04the chronicles of the time tell us
00:14:11I am an anarchist, a free person
00:14:14I was practicing odontology in 1984
00:14:16and I tried to give a cultural contribution to our country
00:14:22so much so that international jazz concerts were organised in my club
00:14:27and this is my business
00:14:43I hadn't had any contact with Matteo until 1989-90
00:14:48I met him one evening when he came to my place on my terrace bar
00:14:51and from there this knowledge started
00:14:59we talked about Sicily, about Sicily in books, about free Sicily
00:15:04because he felt Sicily as a homeland
00:15:09for him, figures like the bandit Giuliano were positive figures
00:15:15For Giuliano, the enterprising king of the scrub, his modest native house was not enough
00:15:20the bandit in his caves cultivated very different dreams of prey
00:15:26even Giuliano's bandit was one of many for seven years in the mountains
00:15:32because he distributed to the people and the people in a certain sense supported him
00:15:37but Giuliano, where is Giuliano?
00:15:43Matthew Messina from Naro
00:15:44Matteo Messina from Naro, unlike the others, with the undersigned
00:15:46he lived a parallel life as a friend, as a simple person
00:15:53he wasn't afraid of confrontation but because we never talked
00:15:57neither about the mafia nor about anything else
00:16:011989, the year Giuseppe Fontana and Matteo Messina di Naro became friends
00:16:06it's an important year
00:16:07Don Ciccio di Naro is convicted of mafia and goes into hiding.
00:16:12and Matteo, who is 27 years old, receives his first complaint for mafia
00:16:18but he has no intention of burying his head in the sand
00:16:22and away from his father's eyes he becomes even more bold and ruthless
00:16:29We still don't know today how much murder Matteo Messina di Naro committed.
00:16:36I must have counted between varants and fifty
00:16:39I can say that of all the people I've killed
00:16:42if I could save one, just one
00:16:46I would save Nicola Gonzales
00:16:53One of the things Messina di Naro did with his friends
00:16:56I used to go often to Paradise Beach Hotel in Serinonte
00:16:58which was a destination for tourists from all over Europe
00:17:00and the deputy director of that hotel is Nicola Gonzales
00:17:05one day he arrives, he heads towards the swimming pool
00:17:08Messina di Naro has a cross-eyed eye
00:17:10and maybe this cross-eyed eye actually allows him to see
00:17:13not in the pool, but in the tourists who were there
00:17:15but the girl who works at the concierge
00:17:20Gonzales will be in love with this girl
00:17:24and told him no because she had become what we might call
00:17:27she's the boss's doll
00:17:28and in this way he writes his own death sentence
00:17:42Matteo Messina from Naro in a timely manner
00:17:46he calls Totorrina, asks for permission to commit this murder
00:17:49I think that Totorrina who gave the ok for all the murders
00:17:52would never have allowed
00:17:54if the request had come from another boss
00:17:58because it's the only murder in which a boss
00:18:01he has a love rival killed by other mafiosi
00:18:08the fact that Irrina says yes to him
00:18:10it is the demonstration that from that moment on
00:18:13the criminal caliber of Matteo Messina from Naro
00:18:15has made a qualitative leap
00:18:18From that moment on he is truly a boss who can do anything
00:18:21where they were they already said all the consequences
00:18:24from certain vicinity
00:18:25between politicians and mafiosi
00:18:28Totorrina said
00:18:29we are bringing this cleaning to a conclusion
00:18:33Matteo took us to find some
00:18:35in high school you don't make pistons and rifles
00:18:38but why?
00:18:39it's a massacre
00:18:40I said now I'm dying in the flames
00:18:44but there's plenty of time
00:18:50For 28 years, Matteo Messina from Naro has been a ghost for everyone.
00:18:55but how did Matteo Messina di Naro do it?
00:18:57a boss from the province of Trapani
00:18:59to climb the ranks of Cosa Nostra?
00:19:02To understand this, we need to go back to the 80s.
00:19:05years in which the Messina family of Naro
00:19:07he was the protagonist of two wars
00:19:10played alongside the Corleonesi, Rina and Provenzano
00:19:14the first to wipe out the old Palermo guard of Cosa Nostra
00:19:19and impose Corleonesi control over the Sicilian mafia
00:19:23the second against the State that had taken it into its head
00:19:27to try and bury Cosa Nostra
00:19:38The Cosa Nostra trial opens in a climate of great tension
00:19:42474 defendants
00:19:49The arrival of Tommaso Buscetta overturns the defendants' plans
00:19:54for the first time, simple membership in the mafia
00:19:57constitutes a crime in itself
00:20:05she made it clear that he had joined a certain association
00:20:09which she called, designated as Cosa Nostra
00:20:15Cosa Nostra was born with Buscetta
00:20:20it used to be called the mafia
00:20:23Buscetta introduces the term
00:20:34but I in the approach with collaborators of justice
00:20:40I already find fertile ground
00:20:43so it's at that point
00:20:47not to facilitate or encourage collaboration with the State
00:20:54but to manage it
00:20:58it was the time of the arrival of the Corrionesi
00:21:03the leaders were Totorina and Provenzano
00:21:12certainly one of the big characters of Cosa Nostra
00:21:17it was the family of Francesco Messina from Trapani
00:21:26from Trapani
00:21:27Attention
00:21:28from Trapani
00:21:32Trapani was undoubtedly a very important province
00:21:36very true to Salvatore Dino
00:21:44the history of Colonna is a history of rivalry within Cosa Nostra
00:21:47to eliminate the Palermo bourgeoisie
00:21:50the Palermo mafia and a bourgeois mafia
00:21:53and they instead wanted to demonstrate that the province
00:21:56the campaign also had something to say
00:21:59and he had something to say in a very violent way
00:22:03it was the advent of a new mafia
00:22:08which took the place
00:22:12of the old mafia
00:22:16that of goodness
00:22:18of the badalamenti
00:22:20by Masino Buscetta
00:22:21there is a position taken by the Corrionesi
00:22:24either with me or against me
00:22:27that is, the mafia war broke out
00:22:40it's a tragic settling of scores
00:22:43a settling of scores that has not been seen for many, many years now
00:22:59but the Corrionesi philosophy was to raise the bar towards the State
00:23:09Palermo seems to have fallen back into the climate of its fiery years
00:23:16Totò Rina came from the countryside
00:23:18but he had learned to talk to the higher echelons of politics
00:23:21Among his contacts was the Christian Democrat Vito Ciancimino
00:23:25man of connection with the Andriottian wing of Christian democracy
00:23:29and thanks to his acquaintances and knowledge
00:23:31Rina tried to influence the outcome of the maxi-trial
00:23:35but when he realized that everything had gone wrong
00:23:38planned the attack on the state
00:23:40and to do so he chose his best men
00:23:43among them was Matteo Messina Denari
00:23:49Good evening, for two hours the president of the Palermo Assize Court
00:23:53He is reading the verdict that closes the largest mafia trial ever held in Italy.
00:23:59but after the sentence
00:24:03Doctor Rina understood that the accounts had to be settled
00:24:13Doctor Rina explained the situation to us
00:24:18saying that we had to leave, that we had to go to Rome
00:24:22that we had to look for Falcone, we had to break Falcone's horns
00:24:26he tells us that in Rome we had a person
00:24:31a Calabrian who knew Matteo
00:24:36Scarano, a certain Scarano
00:24:39and so this gave us support in Rome
00:24:43we had to leave and there we had to look for the objectives
00:24:57Messina Denaro receives orders from Doctor Rina to go to Rome to shadow Falcone and bring this to an end
00:25:04vendetta
00:25:06one of the things that always made me think is that he traveled with Vincenzo Sinacori
00:25:11Mafia killer, now a repentant, his associate, Mazzara killer Vincenzo Sinacori
00:25:15However, I was very struck by Vincenzo Sinacori's story
00:25:19who declared that his fake identity card was Vincenzo Sinacore
00:25:23while Matteo Messina Denaro's was Matteo Messina
00:25:30we had to organize ourselves, first of all we had to prepare the weapons, the explosives
00:25:38the weapons, do those who made them available remember what weapons they were?
00:25:44we had the weapons, they were the calash, the piston, the rifle
00:25:48and Matteo also brought weapons
00:25:53these Roman holidays last a long time, they last at least three trips
00:25:59then when Messina Denaro returns for the last time to get Rina's final approval for this murder
00:26:06Rina instead decides to completely change strategy
00:26:13They had to die not only in Sicily, they had to die in a spectacular attack
00:26:18which the whole world should have been talking about
00:26:21because Rina needed, the need to show the world
00:26:24the firepower of Cosa Nostra
00:26:35We are on the Palermo-Trapani highway
00:26:41Here it is, this very seat that Judge Giovanni Falcone drove.
00:26:46and on the right his wife Francesca Morvillo
00:26:48she too is masterful
00:27:01Someone had placed a charge of TNT, a lot of TNT under that bridge.
00:27:08Being in Capaci in that abyss you understand many things
00:27:15that the attack was also Rina's idea but had an external direction
00:27:21and an attack of that size requires military preparation
00:27:28Hope never dies
00:27:31the one hundred thousand anti-mafia
00:27:34The death of friends, people we worked with for many years
00:27:40I'm a miracle worker, I really have to thank God
00:27:49After they killed Doctor Falcone I was scared
00:27:59In those times, that is, collaborating with justice was not so easy
00:28:05I mean, I, too, found it very, very difficult.
00:28:11to eradicate, that is, to accept within myself that I am a scoundrel
00:28:20Doctor Borsellino said, don't worry
00:28:22Don't worry, we'll do everything.
00:28:27and I started talking about the Castelvedrano family
00:28:33by Francesco Messina di Raro, of all men of honor
00:28:38of Freemasonry
00:28:40of these entities that go beyond Cosa Nostra
00:28:43and they are truly more dangerous than Cosa Nostra
00:28:50Have you ever recorded any indications that led to a planned attack?
00:28:56against Doctor Borsellino
00:28:57No, what I remember is that Matteo also said
00:29:01that Calcara had instructed him, Borsellino had built him properly
00:29:08Was this what Matteo Massigliano thought?
00:29:10Yes
00:29:10There are some repentant cowardly murderers who say
00:29:14that Paolo Borsellino trained and managed me
00:29:17Where there were already due consequences
00:29:20from certain connections between politicians and mafiosi
00:29:23which did not constitute a crime but still made the politician unreliable
00:29:29Paolo Borsellino investigated in all directions
00:29:35Paolo Borsellino investigated everything
00:29:37I didn't give him time
00:29:42Omega!
00:29:44Omega!
00:29:47Omega!
00:29:54Omega!
00:29:58Omega!
00:30:05Even more than the attack in Capace and Tutte di Vieta Melio has a direction, an even more external matrix
00:30:12and in fact the continuous cover-ups that have taken place demonstrate that we still don't have a clear idea of that massacre.
00:30:18a certain truth.
00:30:21Paolo Borsellino wrote some beautiful things in that red diary, there were beautiful things, beautiful secrets that c
00:30:28They were in that red diary, it disappeared and has yet to be found.
00:30:39In the name of the Italian people, the Court of Assisi of Tantanissetta condemns the defendant Matteo Messina Denaro with the
00:30:46life imprisonment and the payment of legal costs.
00:30:51Messina Denaro remains an important boss in the province of Trapani but has his own interests.
00:31:04Messina Denaro is not the new Totò Rina.
00:31:11This evening, a flash edition of our newscast to show you the face of Totò Rina.
00:31:20When Totò Rina was arrested it was a huge success for the police.
00:31:27And so he thought, well, the boss is finished, there will be a rout.
00:31:39But it wasn't like that.
00:31:44She says, I remember that when Matteo came, then it was decided to continue with the massacres, but in the north,
00:31:53where Cosa Nostra does not exist, where only the State can rebel.
00:31:57And ordinary citizens.
00:32:00I confirm.
00:32:02And there are meetings that tell the soldiers of Messina Denaro that are also indicative of what is what
00:32:10our.
00:32:11The idea is to raise the discount level because the harsh prison regime was established after 1992.
00:32:20In short, the state has sent the army to Sicily, we need to figure out what to do.
00:32:26Various proposals began to proliferate.
00:32:31There are those who proposed blowing up the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
00:32:36The second idea they have is to sprinkle syringes on slices of Aiz and the beaches of Rimini.
00:32:45The idea was to poison the snacks distributed in supermarkets.
00:32:54Then something changed.
00:32:57Listen, has Matteo Messina Denaro ever shown you any art books?
00:33:02Yes, he showed her a book of artwork, something like that once.
00:33:08Meggero the prisoner.
00:33:11So we're in '93?
00:33:12Yes.
00:33:13Before or after the massacres on the continent?
00:33:15Before or after the childhood massacres?
00:33:17No, first.
00:33:18They understood that attacking the artistic heritage could be more profitable.
00:33:29It's 1993.
00:33:30Cosa Nostra decides not to interrupt the strategy of terror against the State, guilty of having tried and weakened the
00:33:39Corleonesi clan.
00:33:40So Matteo Messina Denaro decides to take the bombs out of Sicily.
00:33:44The artistic heritage was the objective, there is no doubt, but those who paid the highest price were men,
00:33:52women and children who were completely unrelated to the mafia.
00:33:56Victims who are too often forgotten and whom we bring back to the center of history this evening.
00:34:14After a while, the focus shifted to things that seemed almost more important than people.
00:34:26I lived with my wife and son 20 meters from the explosion crater.
00:34:36That evening we had just gone to bed.
00:34:39Suddenly we heard a loud bang and then from a large window I glimpsed the Torre dei Pulci.
00:34:48An apocalyptic scenario.
00:34:51Unfortunately, the Torre dei Pulci has completely crumbled.
00:34:56It was evident that the bomb was placed inside one of the vehicles that were parked there.
00:35:03I saw the fire coming into the room, I stayed there and said now I'm dying in the
00:35:10flames.
00:35:14And I jumped onto the roofs, you know, of other houses.
00:35:19At a certain point a policeman told me, madam, you should jump because it's the only way to come.
00:35:27get out of there.
00:35:28And so I did.
00:35:31My room was in tatters and pieces of my bed were found on the office roof.
00:35:41I was brought back to reality by my mother's cries for help.
00:35:48The fire that had already lit and killed a boy was already reaching me.
00:35:59People had died, innocent people who had been sacrificed.
00:36:06The Nencioni family: parents, two children, and student Dario Capolicchio.
00:36:14And he was in front of the window, I know he was studying because he had an exam the next day.
00:36:20The poor guy, after all, died in the flames.
00:36:25I thought more of a classic attack, a terrorist attack.
00:36:32Also because the climate was there.
00:36:37There had been Tangentopoli, so there was something that required a return to the status quo.
00:36:46Honestly, I didn't think it was the mafia.
00:37:05I had practically insisted, to the detriment of my work, on following the process.
00:37:12So I followed more than four hundred hearings.
00:37:15It's a new retirement strategy.
00:37:20And instead they were the organizers, they trusted him to organize the strategy.
00:37:30I think he came to see how to plant the bomb, where to plant it.
00:37:38Two months after the attack outside the Uffizi in Florence, more bombs explode.
00:37:44Two in Rome, one at San Giovanni in Laterano and another at San Giorgio in Velabro.
00:37:53A bomb also explodes in Milan in front of the PAC, the contemporary art pavilion.
00:37:59Matteo Messina Denaro once again aims to hit the artistic heritage of the country,
00:38:05but it destroys lives, innocent lives.
00:38:14I never wanted to tell this story before.
00:38:18I don't want to be there.
00:38:28On the evening of July 27th I was on patrol with my colleague Alessandro Ferrari.
00:38:35We were about to return to command.
00:38:38We're heading to the gym.
00:38:42We meet a couple and they tell us to go down there.
00:38:46Go down there, there's a car with smoke inside.
00:38:51Let's call the firefighters.
00:38:58I'm Nicola Perna, the brother-in-law of Carlo Lacatena, the deputy firefighter killed in the attack on Via Palestro.
00:39:07Carlo was a young man, 25 years old he was young.
00:39:14On July 27th he was involved in an outing for a car breakdown, but it was much more.
00:39:27The firefighters arrive, the six of them, they open the doors and Alessandro tells me
00:39:33Katia, come and see.
00:39:35Crazy.
00:39:37The trunk is full, full of TNT.
00:39:42And immediately the fireman goes away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, alerta, alerta.
00:39:48Car bomb, car bomb.
00:39:51We're waiting for the bomb squad.
00:39:53They realized there was explosives, they called the bomb squad.
00:39:57They secured the territory.
00:40:00They minimized the damage of the massacre.
00:40:03There was no time.
00:40:09I'm shocked. I feel like I'm at war.
00:40:13Hell.
00:40:14The PAC wall withstood the shock wave.
00:40:19It amplified the explosive's potential towards them.
00:40:38I discovered that my colleague was no longer there.
00:40:45Straight from my commander at the time.
00:40:50Carlo dies when a piece of metal hits his Vigefuoco helmet and cuts his jugular.
00:41:03I have always carried forward the memory of all the victims of Via Palestro.
00:41:08Stefano Picerno, Sergio Pasotto, Musafir, Alessandro Ferrari.
00:41:23No one was prepared for that night.
00:41:28I always give a bad example of a mirror that shattered in that moment in every way.
00:41:36little pieces.
00:41:39And slowly, piece by piece, I had to rebuild.
00:41:45If not, I would have stayed there.
00:41:52I was 32 years old at the time.
00:41:58I had to start from scratch.
00:42:00We didn't have psychologists, lawyers.
00:42:04no one who supported us in all the formalities that needed to be done.
00:42:09And in some cases, not even by the institutions.
00:42:14It wasn't easy.
00:42:16It is still not easy today.
00:42:21Matteo Messina Denaro, precisely because he has a clear command of Cosa Nostra,
00:42:27to achieve his goals he stopped at nothing.
00:42:31Especially in those years that were crazy years, where criminal fury was blind,
00:42:36in short, he knew no reason.
00:42:39Many children were killed, let's think of the massacre of Giorgofi when Matteo was little.
00:42:46Son of a mafia informer who needed to be punished.
00:42:50To the same pregnant teacher from Alcamo, Antonella Bonomo.
00:42:54who was strangled because she was the girlfriend of a rival mafioso.
00:43:01An unwanted but necessary victim of this war he was waging.
00:43:10Matteo Messina Denaro's war is a war for power.
00:43:14He wants to prove to Totò Riina that he is his worthy heir.
00:43:17And with the bombs he achieves the objective that the Corleonesi
00:43:21they had set themselves the strategy of terror.
00:43:24Open a negotiation with the State.
00:43:27Liability and judicial guilt after 28 years
00:43:30they are still under examination by the judiciary
00:43:33in what has been dubbed the State-Mafia negotiation trial.
00:43:4028 years, like the number of years Matteo Messina Denaro was on the run.
00:43:43who in 1993 wrote a letter to his beloved at the time.
00:43:48There is an arrest warrant out for me.
00:43:52my ordeal began at 31.
00:43:55Don't think about me anymore.
00:43:57This is how Matteo Messina Denaro disappears
00:44:00and is tied to the fate of the father,
00:44:03Don Ciccio Denaro.
00:44:06Palatitance.
00:44:10A coffin being escorted down a street in Castelvetrano, in the province of Trapani.
00:44:14Inside is a fully dressed corpse.
00:44:17Don Ciccio Messina Denaro.
00:44:19Francesco Messina Denaro dies as a fugitive
00:44:22and in the last years of his life he was a fugitive together with his son Matteo Messina Denaro.
00:44:27They've been together for five years.
00:44:29In these years of being on the run today we can say that they did a piece in Via Roma in Castelvetrano,
00:44:33we are right in the center.
00:44:37And among the places where they were there was also the rectory of a church.
00:44:41where, however, they were hosted a little.
00:44:48The whereabouts of Matteo Messina Denaro, the fugitive of fugitives, seems elusive.
00:44:56Since his fugitive status in 1993, Matteo Messina Denaro has been spotted all over the world.
00:45:02We know for certain that he was in Forte dei Marmi, probably in Barcelona for surgery,
00:45:07who was in Greece.
00:45:09In a few cases, investigators were close, perhaps even close to capturing him.
00:45:14And in one of these cases, where they found a hot body, it was in Aspra.
00:45:18We are near Bagheria.
00:45:24The mafia boss has the territory that protects him.
00:45:27You can't think that a period of hiding will happen by itself.
00:45:32The last network of note-sending delivery men belonging to fugitive mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro has been dismantled.
00:45:39I have met many Messina Denaro users.
00:45:43From the boy who regrets, I still remember today when he smoked a pack of cigarettes with him,
00:45:49based on what he tells his friend, I would leave my wife to go to him.
00:45:54In this army there are also those ladies who I imagine cooking for Messina Denaro every day.
00:46:09Following today's arrests of her sister and favorite nephew,
00:46:13In Messina Denaro the ground is starting to slip away from under his feet.
00:46:20Patrizia Messina Denaro is the sister of Matteo Messina Denaro,
00:46:24which in my opinion has a more important role than what the judiciary has also told us,
00:46:30because according to my work, all the latest notes from Messina Denaro went through her.
00:46:37He accepted that the defendant, in addition to Castelvetrano, has frequent contacts with foreign countries.
00:46:49Matteo Messina Denaro's father was so powerful that many considered him a boss.
00:46:54as a sort of foreign minister of Cosa Nostra
00:46:57due to the historical ties that the Castelvetrano mafia family has with North African countries.
00:47:06Today we are used to considering North Africa as a place of escape,
00:47:11but in reality for the Sicilians it was a landing place.
00:47:16And it was a landing place where the interests of mafia families poured in.
00:47:20who used the North African markets for their business, essentially they were smugglers.
00:47:28This is one of the most interesting, in my opinion, yet least told, aspects of the history of the Sicilian Mafia.
00:47:33And it's especially interesting because it could also contain the answer to the question of where Messina Denaro is.
00:47:46Matteo Messina Denaro has been the candidate since 1993.
00:47:49The number one leader of Cosa Nostra is the godfather Matteo Messina Denaro.
00:47:55Falcone's arrival is always worth it, right? Follow the man.
00:47:58To find the mafia you have to follow the money.
00:48:01Wind farms, extortion, construction and usury.
00:48:04My father was an entrepreneur related to the Messina Denaro family.
00:48:09I'm an important person if Messina Denaro bothered to meet with me.
00:48:14This fugitive does not lose the ability to control the territory.
00:48:20What's the fear? The fear that Christians are being killed.
00:48:23They kill him.
00:48:27There are only hypotheses and one certainty regarding Matteo Messina Denaro's fugitive status.
00:48:33When he moves, he does it only for business.
00:48:37Protecting it is a gray area made up of entrepreneurs, professionals and politicians.
00:48:43There is a gray area that has always learned to become mafia.
00:48:48An entrepreneur who defrauds the State to get 4 million euros to build a factory and then abandon it is
00:48:55a scammer.
00:48:5720 entrepreneurs who do it with the same accountant, the same politician as a contact, becomes a criminal network for me.
00:49:04Matteo Messina Denaro leaves behind the season of massacres and becomes the director of financial plots that guarantee constant
00:49:13profits to the mafia.
00:49:16In my opinion, Matteo Messina Denaro had a fairly far-sighted and verticalizing business idea.
00:49:24If a man of power, of control allows one to do business, damn it, let a Matteo Messina Denaro come to Sicily and
00:49:33so Sicily finally does business.
00:49:36There are also notes from Matteo Messina Denaro, who deals with businesses.
00:49:41They were found in the hideout of Bernardo Provenzano, who was arrested after years on the run in 2006.
00:49:49Messina Denaro writes to Provenzano and reports on business dealings and extortion in the province of Trapani.
00:49:58Matteo Messina Denaro is the last of the Coronesi.
00:50:02The mafia will not end in Messina Denaro, that's clear, and this criminal season will certainly end,
00:50:08which is already partly over because the mafia has returned to being what it was before the Coronesi,
00:50:12there is a submerged and silent experience, little inclined to violence, let's say adverse, to visible violence.
00:50:20Matteo Messina Denaro, in short, is the boss who leads Cosa Nostra into the future, but not everyone has appreciated his
00:50:27modernity.
00:50:28Messina Denaro has other goals. Totorina complains precisely about this lack of dedication to the organization.
00:50:40The organization is its own product, not ours.
00:50:48Matteo Messina Denaro thinks too much about what he owns and for this reason Totorina had him excommunicated from prison.
00:50:55He spent a few years with me, he learned well, Rina said when intercepted in prison, but then he started to
00:51:01make light.
00:51:02The reference is to renewable energy, a profitable sector for Matteo Messina Denaro.
00:51:35It's not Matteo Messina Denaro who orchestrates this great deal, who puts it in charge, it's someone else.
00:51:46Which also makes use of the mafia perhaps out of respect for a criminal tradition, because it needs it out of necessity, but
00:51:54in short, maybe he would do this business even beyond the mafia.
00:51:59The reference is to Vito Nicastri.
00:52:05A severe blow to the boss and accomplice Matteo Messina Denaro, who influenced Sicilian contracts by controlling local companies.
00:52:12Among them was also a businessman from Alcamo, Vito Nicastri.
00:52:15At the head of a business empire in the wind energy sector, Nicastri is said to have piloted the sale of a 60-acre agricultural estate
00:52:23hectares.
00:52:23Part of the profit would have gone to Messina Denaro.
00:52:41The Trapani mafia in the wind power business is only involved in the extortion of land or the concrete base.
00:52:48to put the shovel.
00:52:53The system is like an assembly line, everyone has to do their part.
00:52:59Vito Nicastri is the wind farm expert, Cosa Nostra provides the land and public officials steer the tenders.
00:53:09So Vito Nicastri ends up under house arrest, but according to investigators he doesn't stop.
00:53:14In 2019, his alleged associate, Paolo Arata, emerged.
00:53:25I'm Trocchia, I'm a journalist, how are you? Is everything okay?
00:53:29Why did he meet Nicastri, who was convicted of fraud and corruption?
00:53:33He would have been his front man.
00:53:35But it's very important, you're a professor, you're always so generous with advice, I saw your rally at the League.
00:53:40Why don't you tell us something?
00:53:42Leave it alone, it's just a word.
00:53:44He gave the money, he gave the money, he didn't give him the money.
00:53:47Why was he acting as Nicastri's front man?
00:53:50It is one of the relationships with Matteo Messina Denaro.
00:53:54Today Paolo Arata is still on trial.
00:53:57Vito Nicastri pleaded guilty to a conviction for fictitious ownership of assets.
00:54:01But there are accusations from collaborators of justice regarding the closeness between Matteo Messina Denaro and Vito Nicastri.
00:54:07One in particular is very close to the family of the super fugitive.
00:54:14Lorenzo Cimarosa.
00:54:24Lorenzo Cimarosa is an unusual figure because he is the first, so to speak, repentant member of the Messina Denaro family.
00:54:33Lorenzo Cimarosa is the first non-killer to repent.
00:54:41Cimarosa Lorenzo was born in Castelvetrano and 23,260.
00:54:46What was the approximate value of this Castelvetrano wind farm?
00:54:5230 poles made, therefore 6-7 million euros.
00:55:07I lived my entire adolescence as a sort of black sheep in a family that was unfortunately in a bind.
00:55:15in a system and there was only me who was looking and who was saying everything that shouldn't have been said for
00:55:22everyone.
00:55:31My father was first and foremost an entrepreneur.
00:55:33He worked in construction and before that he had a sand quarry.
00:55:39He took on contracts that were sent to my father by Messina Denaro.
00:55:45But then my father had to inflate the invoices because part of the money had to go into their hands.
00:55:53Listen, did you pay money, you as Cimarosa I mean?
00:56:00Yes, I had to give him 10 million euros for Matteo Messina Denaro.
00:56:06One of the contracts my father worked on was the construction of the paleolic generators that were built in the area
00:56:13around Castelvetrano.
00:56:16And clearly it was a contract that had come directly from the will of Messina Denaro.
00:56:25And my father told this to the magistrates.
00:56:31After choosing to collaborate with my father, a sort of watershed occurred in my life and in my
00:56:38my family's life.
00:56:43However, we did not want to accept the protection program and we remained at home, in our country.
00:56:56We have suffered isolation from so many people, if not from almost all of them.
00:57:02Many of these obviously because they didn't agree with my father's choices.
00:57:09Many others are simply afraid to approach us.
00:57:16I have never been able to enjoy sensitivity, an anti-mafia sensitivity.
00:57:24I work as a horse riding instructor and I have a facility where I live that is also a school.
00:57:30That is, I almost often have to beg to be able to work, to be able to do the job I'm good at.
00:57:37I'm waiting to see some change, some sign that will give me the strength to say ok, go on.
00:57:45okay we can move on, let's stay.
00:57:52I don't know if Lorenzo Gimarrosa is a genuine repentant or not, I certainly don't care about him or anything.
00:57:58nor of any other repentant person.
00:58:02I don't have a good opinion of repentants, I think.
00:58:12The business in the province of Trapani can be done very well, or rather it could have been done very well.
00:58:20In principle, it could have been done very well when the mafia was around.
00:58:25The company has been dead since the anti-mafia movement existed.
00:58:37If you go to Castelvetrano you will meet many people who tell you that the mafia brings jobs and the State doesn't.
00:58:43lever.
00:58:45This sentence is dictated by the anger of something that happens: companies confiscated by the mafia go bankrupt.
00:58:50And in Castelvetrano there is the striking house of Grigoli's 6 GDO group.
00:59:01Giuseppe Grigoli, a supermarket king with ties to Matteo Messina Denaro, the monopolist of the Despar brand, has been arrested.
00:59:11I don't have a shop in the province of Trapani, so they don't contact me.
00:59:16I start to have 10, 15, 20, 30 or 25 and when you start to be someone in the province of Trapani,
00:59:27People come here because they absolutely have to have something.
00:59:31What was it that Matteo Messina Denaro imposed on me in the beginning?
00:59:35He personally imposed jobs, money and the tasks I had to do on me.
00:59:55I worked at Gruppo 6 GDO in Castelvetrano, a Despar supermarket distribution platform in western Sicily.
01:00:14It happens that our owner was arrested and then the company went into receivership and from there the
01:00:25exorable decline of the company.
01:00:29We found ourselves laid off in 2013 when the company went bankrupt.
01:00:37At the time of the bankruptcy we had 190 employees and the supply chain employed 400 people.
01:00:47Our life has been turned upside down by this failure.
01:00:56I tell everyone that the real success of the State would have been to maintain jobs,
01:01:01not to make them lose just to besiege that first there was the mafioso and therefore we worked within the law
01:01:06and the State arrived and restored legality, and then the company went bankrupt.
01:01:10That's not quite right.
01:01:13Alessandro D'Angelo now manages one of the Despar stores confiscated from the entrepreneur Giuseppe Grigoli.
01:01:19Many others, however, remain closed.
01:01:25Our dream is to continue opening more stores.
01:01:31Because for two years now we have been asking the National Agency for Confiscated Assets for more sales points.
01:01:36to be able to open and put many more colleagues to work
01:01:42who unfortunately are still not working seven years after the bankruptcy.
01:01:49Why, faced with all this, didn't you knock on the door of a barracks?
01:01:55Anyone who goes to the barracks must know what happens next.
01:02:03And I know what happens next. I know.
01:02:07What's the fear? The fear that Christians are being killed.
01:02:10They kill him.
01:02:14This is fear.
01:02:17Matteo Messina Denaro's network includes entrepreneurs colluding for convenience or fear.
01:02:23Entrepreneurs working in large-scale retail, construction, and renewable energy.
01:02:28But there's another sector the mafia has its hands on: art.
01:02:34And in Castelvetrano one of the connoisseurs is Gianfranco Becchina.
01:02:51Together with my colleague Giovanni Tizian, we went to speak with entrepreneur Gianfranco Becchina.
01:03:12Investigators dispute the hands.
01:03:15Of course it's true. My distributor is a White House manufacturer.
01:03:24Investigators accuse Gianfranco Becchina of having set up, thanks to the support of Messina Denaro's family,
01:03:32an international traffic of archaeological finds which served not only to enrich us but probably also to enrich the
01:03:37Messina Denaro family.
01:03:42He has always professed his innocence, he has had his assets seized and he is leading this battle from Castelvetrano to have
01:03:53back his master.
01:03:56Becchina doesn't want to be filmed, but he tells us where the investigators' suspicions stem from.
01:04:04Listen to me, November 2017, they come here on the basis of a car that says I brought them money for
01:04:13the mafia.
01:04:13None of this is true. What is this?
01:04:16It's the supermarket.
01:04:18Yes, because I brought him money for the mafia.
01:04:21The mafia wanted money from me, but I never gave it.
01:04:25Never given to me, they shot at my doors, they burned down my house, they stole everything from me.
01:04:31When?
01:04:32Yes, other you over the years.
01:04:35I reported these things.
01:04:37I reported everything.
01:04:39But did Grigoli come to her to ask for the money?
01:04:41He always sent someone, he sent an office.
01:04:45That is, Grigoli says that the gentleman gave me money for the mafia, she says that she should never give it to him.
01:04:55And it is in this confused picture, made of accusations and replies from accomplices of Matteo Messina Denaro, the alleged connivances,
01:05:02the difficult hunt for the Cosa Nostra super fugitive is underway.
01:05:10A hunt that increasingly revolves around entrepreneurship, even outside Sicily.
01:05:18Matteo Messina Denaro has a special relationship with Tuscany, the area where he lived during the years of the massacres and where
01:05:25he spent part of his time in hiding.
01:05:35I have been living in Tuscany, specifically in Via Reggio, since 1995, where I carry out entrepreneurial activities, representing some of its bankers.
01:05:44for which I recover insolvencies, probably from nautical leasing.
01:05:49I recover them on behalf of the banks, always on behalf of the banks, I resell them.
01:06:06The moment of saying I am Sicilian or I am of Sicilian origin, therefore par excellence, for those clichés, they pin on you
01:06:14to the mafia or who knows what kind of money they are managing, etc.
01:06:19But these are just clichés, after all.
01:06:22They have to prove it.
01:06:27Have you ever met Matteo Messina Denaro?
01:06:31No, I don't even know who he is, except through newspaper photos.
01:06:38There is a witness who says that in 2005, at the port of Palermo, she met her uncle Matteo Messina
01:06:46Money.
01:06:47There is a witness who has, you tell me this for the first time, I was unaware of this news.
01:06:52It would be important then, I am an important person, if Messina Denaro bothered to meet with me.
01:06:58I don't think I'm that important, I'm a tiny person, a tiny entrepreneur, wouldn't Messina Denaro be right?
01:07:05meet with me.
01:07:08The information that Giovanni Di Maria is unaware of is dated May 21, 2015.
01:07:12A witness says he had contact with a man suspected of having links with the Drangheta and the Sicilian mafia and that
01:07:20would favor the fugitive status of Matteo Messina Denaro.
01:07:23The witness says that between 2005 and 2006, at the port of Palermo, he saw the super fugitive of
01:07:30Cosa Nostra during the delivery of a briefcase full of money that Giovanni Di Maria was supposed to have given him.
01:07:39I periodically check to see if there are any investigations underway, and I'm just finding out about this information from you today.
01:07:48Given that Messina Denaro is accused of owning large amounts of money, real estate, etc., what reason is there?
01:07:56he would have had to go and draw from Gianni Di Maria of…
01:08:01Is it true or not?
01:08:02No, absolutely not.
01:08:04There is a section of the national anti-mafia that writes in reports, not in sentences, that she is a point of reference for
01:08:11a piece of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra here and also a piece of the Andrangheta.
01:08:16Is it true or not true?
01:08:17They're so far-fetched I can barely even think about them.
01:08:33But, have you seen a piece?
01:08:36But, am I a piece?
01:08:39There is your heat only in your Pugnate meadow and I feel everything comfortable.
01:08:46Dad, the portal, my device is asked.
01:08:52I wonder what's going on.
01:08:55And there they always put the whole name behind it.
01:08:58To do things we close, don't close us, eh.
01:09:04But will he stay?
01:09:06Probably, sooner or later.
01:09:09But in the meantime they keep quiet and make money.
01:09:14Those who are around us remain.
01:09:18Every now and then in our reality there is a need to create negative myths.
01:09:25You need to invent an enemy.
01:09:30An enemy to focus on.
01:09:38The story is more complex than it appears.
01:09:44And I don't know if it will ever be written.
01:09:50Matteo Messina Denaro.
01:09:54We told you about the entrepreneurial ritual that protects Matteo Messina Denaro.
01:09:59His criminal excision.
01:10:01The victims.
01:10:02But whether he is still free does not depend only on his relationships.
01:10:06Do you think he should turn himself in?
01:10:11I am of the opinion that the mafia has no power to direct.
01:10:17The mafia is a servitude.
01:10:20If Matteo Messina Denaro revealed that the massacres were orchestrated by other forces.
01:10:27He thinks that those in power have an interest in taking him alive.
01:10:34Matteo Messina Denaro is the keeper of secrets that could reveal the role of state officials in the season of massacres.
01:10:43That's what those who repent and those who know him well say.
01:10:47Matteo Messina Denaro could be more frightening in prison than on many sides.
01:11:21Golito Messina Money
01:11:27Thank you all.
