04 June 2020Heavy blow to the historic mafia mandate of the Walnut, in Palermo, as reported by the Agi press agency this morning. The organization chart, the dynamics on the territory and the relationships with other important mafia groups in the city have been reconstructed. Eleven state police arrests in connection with the "Mastery" operation. About 100 men of the mobile team who, by delegation of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, have implemented the order for the application of the precautionary measure issued by the investigating magistrate for mafia association, external competition in mafia association, aggravated extortion, aggravated fraudulent transfer of values ​​and others offenses.

The investigations revealed an X-ray of the mafia mandate of the Walnut and the alarming picture of a town mafia organization always vital and ready to weave illicit relationships in order to achieve economic profit. In the geography of the mandates, that of the "Noce" has always been a strategic hub for the economic interests of Cosa Nostra.

Light has been shed on the delicate balance within the mandate, above all, between the families of Noce and Cruillas, recording a structured division of tasks, in the single family, with powers entrusted to trusted men, in relation to different fields of economic interest: contracts, land sales, online betting and extortion.   

And it has been ascertained - the AGI always writes - that exponents of the Walnut's mandate have had contact with counterparts of other mandate structures in a historical period, such as for Cosa Nostra that of 2018, in which, for the first time in decades , the provincial commission had returned to meet. In light of these contacts, it is plausible that exponents of this mandate were also involved in that important project, reserved only for the most authoritative mafia exponents, aimed at the reorganization of the Palermo Cosa Nostra.
