There is a passage in the latest arrest request for Matteo Messina Denaro’s accomplices which already tells the scenario of the investigations carried out by the Palermo prosecutor’s office. «The picture of connivance in favor of the fugitive, outside and inside the health facilities – writes the pool coordinated by the prosecutor Maurizio de Lucia – is taking on alarming dimensions and will require this office to carry out further investigations.” The thousand pizzini and three mobile phones found by the ROS carabinieri on the day of the arrest of the super fugitive are proving to be a real mine of information. This is demonstrated by the numerous arrests made within a year and a half in the circle of abettors, there are thirteen. Yesterday, with the latest blitz by the ROS, which led to prison a Sicilian architect who works in Lombardy, the investigation into the protection network of the boss who died on September 25th seems to have moved to a higher level. In which there is the shadow of others unsuspected: doctors, entrepreneurs and even unfaithful men of the institutions.
Messina Money, tests and hospitalizations in record time. So the boss skipped the waiting lists, the prosecutors: “Omerta among doctors and nurses”
«Messina Denaro is venerated and protected even after his death», the final considerations made by the prosecutor are dramatic Maurizio de Luciaby his addition Paolo Guido and by substitutes Gianluca DeLeo e Pierangelo Padua. Words that the investigating judge Alfredo Montalto he then reported in the latest precautionary custody order, they are a warning for politics and civil society not to lower their guard in the fight against the mafia.
To look into the mysteries of Messina Denaro, the prosecutor de Lucia also called into action the state police team that had been engaged in the search for the fugitive who was then arrested by the carabinieri. So, now, there are two working groups analyzing the large amount of documentation seized from the boss. On one side the ROS carabinieri; on the other, the policemen of the central operational service with colleagues from the mobile squads of Trapani and Palermo.
Therefore, the first area of investigation, that concerning complicit doctors. On Wednesday he was arrested Cosimo Leone, the radiologist at the Abele Ajello hospital in Mazara, on heavy charges of mafia association: he performed a CT scan on the fugitive in November 2020, after the discovery of the disease. From an agenda seized by the investigators it emerged that the exam had initially been set for November 20th, then it was brought forward to the 17th, then to the 10th. How did Messina Denaro skip the waiting list? Only thanks to Leone? We are looking for other accomplices in the hospital.

On November 5, the general practitioner Andrea Tumbarello (already arrested) had prescribed hospitalization in the surgery department, «even though officially – the magistrates write – only the following day would the surgeon Urso have visited the fugitive, who called himself Andrea Bonafede, and requested that type of prescription. Another anomaly on which investigations are underway.”
Then on December 9th, the oncological visit to the Sant’Antonino Abate hospital in Trapani, carried out by the head doctor Filippo Zerilli. Other visits appear to be at professional offices in Palermo, for issues not relating to the tumor. Did those doctors know or not that the patient was Messina Denaro?
Then, there is the magic circle of entrepreneurs, those who periodically supported the fugitive with sums of money. The so-called “ATM” entrepreneurs. One was nicknamed “the Parmesan”, another was “W”. And it doesn’t end here. In the Pizzini people also talk about cats. And, again, of Department, Cherry, Stazzunara, Raw, Complicated. There are many mysterious accomplices of Messina Denaro, he himself admitted it in his first interrogation in prison, before the magistrates who had arrested him: “It’s not in my culture to accuse, there are people who helped me.”
“Parmigiano”, which gave a lot of money to the fugitive, already appeared in some notes found in 1996. So, Rosalia Messina Money he wrote to his brother: “I’m sending you a bag of Parmesan, I don’t know what’s in it.” More recently, however, it was the godfather who wrote to “Fragolone”, his sister: «You have to meet with the Parmesan, only once though and ask him». The boss needed 40 thousand euros. He had received more money from W, this nickname was also in the pizzini of 1996, seized by the carabinieri in the province of Trapani, from a postman from Messina Denaro: “W isn’t there for now, he went to do a race in the North”. A sports competition or a tender? And is Parmesan a reference to someone who has a cheese business? Or to an entrepreneur originally from the province of Parma? The mysteries of Messina Denaro.
On May 24, 2022, suddenly, Messina Denaro sent another tip to her sister Rosalia: “Unfortunately everything was ruined, the railway is not viable, it’s full.” There were cameras along those streets. How did the boss know? Is there also an unsuspected mole hiding among the code names? It’s the biggest mystery.
