No mercy, no repentance, not even after 30 years. On the contrary, Matthew Messina Money he continued to mock the state and the victims of the attacks he himself is accused of having organized. On May 23, 2022, while driving around Palermo undisturbed, despite being at the top of the list of wanted fugitives, he complains about the traffic caused – according to him – by the “commemoration of this m …”. He defines them just like that, with these exact words. On that day, in fact, a series of events was taking place in the Sicilian capital to commemorate the killing of the anti-mafia magistrate John Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and the agents of the escort Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro. All died in the Capaci attack, when Cosa Nostra – to hit Falcone – blew up a piece of the A29 motorway with 500 kilos of TNT. In the first instance trial, Messina Denaro was sentenced to life imprisonment as the instigator of that massacre; the appeal process is now underway in Caltanissetta.
AUDIO SHOCK
Last May 23, as evidenced by a photo released by the Carabinieri del Ros, the boss was in a car, on the highway, channeled into a river of cars, when he sent an audio file via Whatsapp to a woman he met in the clinic in 2021 and which he has been attending for a year and a half. She doesn’t know that the man with whom she is sharing a difficult healing journey, and with whom she often vents about fears and uncertainties for the future, is one of the most powerful and ruthless leaders of Cosa Nostra. He seems familiar with this woman, so much so that he tells her of his mother’s last strange wish: on a sheet of paper he wrote that «when she is dead, at her funeral, she wants the musical band which must always play a single motif: the march by Radetzky, the kaiser march, the one they do in Vienna for New Year’s Eve, the final one. My mother was like that – explains Messina Denaro – whimsical, in her ways, maybe I took a little from her ». Then, before saying goodbye, a last curse against the commemorations for the Capaci massacre. «And I’m stuck here with all four flat tires, that is, in the sense, not punctured, on the asphalt, it doesn’t move, for the commemorations of this min… Holy shit. Here I broke my f… badly».
“I’M LIKE A STRAY”
On another occasion, the boss wrote to her friend: «Dear, I’ve had terrible moments in my life, even if you can’t see it. And I’m not talking about cancer. And so I know from experience that when you’re sick like you are now, you shouldn’t talk: because I know you don’t want to hear. But even if I want to keep quiet, to respect this moment of yours, I want to tell you one thing: and I speak only because I have already lived this moment of yours”. «I underwent a heavy operation, five hours and 40 minutes – says Messina Denaro – I was hoping it was all over, and instead they had to operate again. Another six hours and 30 minutes. Then the chemo. What do I mean? That after all this I’m here. There are still. Your path is similar to mine. We have to suffer but you will make it. Excuse me, but I don’t want your answers… I’ll be there when you hear from me». Then he plays the victim: «I feel abandoned, like a stray with a broken leg in the middle of a puddle on this Christmas night. For me, all of this is squalid (as he defines the hospital, ed), I need affection. But is it right to beg for affection?
Meanwhile, yesterday another chapter in the history of the mafia closed with the death of Francesco Geraci, a former collaborator of justice and childhood friend of Matteo Messina Denaro. Jeweller, he was known for having hidden the precious objects of Totò Riina in Castelvetrano: necklaces, earrings, crucifixes studded with diamonds, diamonds, sterling and gold ingots worth over 2 billion lire.
