Matteo Messina Denaro, the boss convicted for the massacres of ’92 and ’93, the kidnapping and murder of little Di Matteo, and the killing of prison officer Montalto, remains defiant while imprisoned. During interrogations with prosecutors in Palermo, he chose to respond in his own way, challenging those in front of him. The book “La cattura” written by Maurizio de Lucia and Salvo Palazzolo explores the current state of Messina Denaro and reflects on today’s mafia. Messina Denaro considered his infiltration into the world of contracts as strategic for his leadership, as it allowed him to engage in dialogue with politicians. The arrest of Messina Denaro was the result of a complex investigation that almost failed, with the breakthrough occurring in December with the discovery of a note at the home of his sister. The book delves into the untold details of this investigation. The fight against the mafia must continue, as Messina Denaro still holds many secrets that are essential to understanding the transition from the era of bombings to criminal business, an issue that cannot be underestimated, especially with the arrival of funds from the European Recovery Plan.
