Anti-mafia raid by the Carabinieri with six arrests in the Corleone area. The operation was triggered after some interceptions which clearly referred to the intention to strike the Minister of the Interior Angelino Alfano. A "revenge" on the proposed tightening of article 41-bis, the harsh prison regime used against mafia exponents.
The blitz dismantled the district of Corleone, once headed by Riina and Provenzano. THE you are arrested carried out today by the military of the Arma concern prominent exponents who in recent years have managed the affairs of the clan that commands in the Palermo area. But what further alerted the investigators was an interception in which the regents of the clan discussed the organization of a attack to kill Minister Alfano.
In the interception, the mafiosi of the Corleone clan hypothesized a attack on the minister comparing it to that of November 22, 1963, the day in which the American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy lost his life in Dallas. "He should end up like Kennedy", said the mafiosi arrested today during the blitz by the carabinieri in the wiretaps. Among them is also Rosario Lo Bue, already in prison in 2008, then acquitted and brother of one of the men who dealt with Bernardo Provenzano's fugitive.
In addition to the Alfano attack project, the Corleone clan was also working on organizing another murder after some people had turned to the mafia organization with the aim of collecting a large inheritance.
