The Milanese house of Fabrizio Corona was searched by the carabinieri as part of an investigation for receiving stolen goods against a carabiniere and a politician from Mazara del Vallo who allegedly tried to sell confidential material to the "king of paparazzi" and a journalist on the capture of the boss Matteo Messina Money illegally acquired from the computer system of the Arma.
The military Luigi Pirollo and the municipal councilor of Mazara del Vallo Giorgio Randazzo have already been arrested, who allegedly contacted Corona offering him the scoop in exchange for money.
The investigation was born following the interceptions ordered against Corona who, after the capture of Messina Denaro, came into possession of a series of audio chats between the boss and some patients he met in the clinic during chemotherapy when, still wanted , used the identity of the surveyor Andrea Bonafede.
In one of the intercepted conversations, which dates back to 2 May, Corona referred to a "crazy scoop" in the possession of a city councilor, later identified as Randazzo, thanks to unspecified carabinieri who had searched the hideouts of the mafia boss and who wanted to sell the material. In the following days, Corona continued to express his intention to resell the material that the councilor would have procured for him. On May 25, Moreno Pisto (director of the online newspaper Mow), Randazzo and Corona met. On that occasion, the Mow journalist, with a ruse, secretly managed to make copies of the files shown to him and offered by the politician. Having viewed them and realizing the delicacy of the material, he turned to a colleague who advised him to speak to the police. Pisto then went to Mobile in Palermo and told the whole story. Based on his testimony, the investigators began to investigate and discovered, through computer investigations, that the documents copied by the journalist without the councilor's knowledge had been stolen and that the perpetrator of the theft was Pirollo who had left traces of his "entry " in the system and that he was one of the only two officers who had accessed the Campobello Station server (the other carabiniere was found to be extraneous to the facts).
