Matteo Messina Denaro bought the Giulietta, found yesterday by investigators in a garage, in January 2022. He went in person to a Palermo dealership, traded in a Fiat 500 and paid 10,000 euros in cash .
Both the purchase contract and the exchange are made out to an 87-year-old disabled woman, mother of Andrea Bonafede , the surveyor from Campobello who would have lent her identity to the boss at least since 2020, the date of the first surgery to which the mafia boss underwent subjected to the hospital of Campobello di Mazara.
In the meantime, the investigations into the network of supporters of the boss continue. The garage where the car was found belonged to the son of Giovanni Luppino, an agricultural entrepreneur with a criminal record arrested with him after taking him to the nursing home last Monday. His version (" He was introduced to me as Francesco, I had only seen him once months ago and on Sunday evening he asked me to accompany him, telling me that he needed to be treated for cancer ") is unlikely for the investigators.
Furthermore, among the pizzini seized from the farmer, one popped up with the words "Guide door seal on the driver's side of Giulietta 1.6 last series": a reminder of the purchase of a car part, coincidentally the same from Messina Denaro.
The investigators are also analyzing the copious documentation found in the first hideout of the boss discovered, that of vicolo San Vito, also in Campobello di Mazara, and the material seized in Luppino. These are notes, post-its, shopping lists (the godfather lived in luxury and even spent 7,000 euros a month), an agenda, telephone numbers, code names .
A long and difficult job that of the carabinieri del Ros from which the names of accomplices and abettors could emerge. It has not been confirmed, however, that elements proving the mafia boss's trips abroad were found in the house. The seized mobile phones are also being examined by the investigators: two from Messina Denaro and two from Luppino who, as the investigating judge noted in the order with which he ordered prison for the driver, kept the phones in airplane mode on the morning of the arrest .
Finally, in the library of the mafia boss's hideout, in addition to history and philosophy books, two biographies were found: one of Vladimir Putin, the other of the Hitlers .
