June 13, 2019 Rosario Allegra died, one of the brothers-in-law of the fugitive Messina Denaro, who had been in prison since April last year. He was confined in a 41 bis regime in Terni and for some weeks he had been hospitalized, since last May 22, in a reserved prognosis in the Umbrian hospital "Santa Maria", in the intensive care unit, after a brain aneurysm.He had been arrested as part of the "Annozero" blitz and in the last hearing of the ongoing trial before the Court of Marsala the judge had postponed the activities to the next 20 June precisely because of the absence of the defendant due to illness.
"I talked to him, by telephone from the prison of Castelvetrano, the day before admission - says the lawyer Giuseppe Ferro of the Marsala court - and nothing bode what would happen the next day".
Allegra, who would have turned 66 this October, was married to Giovanna Messina Denaro, one of the fugitives sisters who had been wanted since 1993. According to investigators, the man in recent years would lead the entire Mafia Mandamento of Castelvetrano, also coordinating the business of betting centers in the province of Trapani and in relations with other Sicilian families. "They must submit to what I tell them - he said, intercepted by investigators - when we decide we give them something. When we decide, though".
The fugitive godfather has two other brothers-in-law, Vincenzo Panicola, Patrizia's husband, and Gaspare Como, Bice's husband, both in jail for mafia association, under the 41 bis regime.
