28 November 2019Time of tension yesterday morning in the Bonino Pulejo hospital in Messina where for a few hours it was thought that the fugitive boss Matteo Messina Denaro was also among the patients. Doubt has crept in among the experts.

There are too many coincidences: the age, the origin, the build, the human medical situation. After a consultation between them, some nurses took courage and advised the competent authorities. Immediately the public prosecutor sent the soldiers of the special nucleuses to take a sample of DNA from the man and to verify if it really was the headmaster. But it wasn't him.

Together with the alarm the emergency procedure started with the closing of the inputs and outputs. Armored entrances and exits and a helicopter to fly over the area. The hypothesis that it was Messina Denaro immediately appeared improbable, but nothing can be left to chance. And so the carabinieri of Ros, those of Messina and those of the Scientific Investigation Department intervened. On arrival, the carabinieri sought a hospitalized patient from Castelvetrano (Trapani), the town of origin of the Messina Denaro boss. A sample of the patient's DNA was immediately taken after being struck by a stroke and compared with the biological traces of the fugitive in possession of the investigators. It was a proper control, but unfortunately the patient admitted to the Neurolesi Center of Messina was not Matteo Messina Denaro.

The super wanted
Matteo Messina Denaro has been a fugitive for over 26 years, he ranks first in the list of wanted mobsters, he is hunted by the police, but it seems to continue to move quietly throughout Italy. After the last investigation on the supporters of the "red primula" of Castelvetrano that in an interception spoke of "Iddu" that would have been accompanied in Mercedes at the station of Trapani, there was then a repentant to reveal new details on the mystery of super fugitive from Cosa Nostra, what today is considered the head of the Sicilian mafia.

The collaborator of justice is Emanuele Merenda, of Sant'agelo di Brolo (Messina), a former collector of the Barcelona mafia lace and then a member with the same role as a mafia-type criminal organization in Veneto brought to light by an inquiry by the Public Prosecutor's Office Venice on the infiltration of the Casalese camorra in Eraclea, in the Venetian area. According to the Mafia repentant, Matteo Messina Denaro would have hidden for a while in the cellar of a country house in Veneto, a "yellow building" where he would have been a guest of Vincenzo Centineo, another Sicilian (originally from Gangi) finished also he in the inquiry on the Casalesi of Eraclea. The house would be in Campo di Pietra di Salgareda in the Treviso area.
