Messina Denaro speaks about tattoos in Palermo: “They are for remembering”
Explain me the following article in brief:
Among the wild tigers”, “Ad augusta per angusta” and “VIII X MCML, XXXI”: these are the three tattoos that Matteo Messina Denaro had done in Palermo while he was on the run, and whose meanings he explained to his sister Rosalia. This emerges from the investigations of the Prosecutor’s Office of Palermo. The boss used a “C” to indicate the tattoos to the woman, as will emerge from a note later found by the carabinieri. “C” “Tattoo” she wrote to remember it. In a conversation intercepted by the investigators, Messina Denaro will clarify that “ad augusta per angusta”, done in 2012, meant “to glory through suffering”. “I did it for my daughter when she passed away,” he explained. “This (August 8, 1981) is an important date for me,” he adds, referring to the Roman numerals. “This – he explains referring to the inscription among the wild tigers – I did seven or eight years ago”. With the Palermo tattoo artist, Messina Denaro had used the false name of Vito Ferreri. And the boss also talks about the tattoos in one of the diaries seized after his arrest: “They are not to follow the trend, they are my experiences and they serve to not forget,” precisely.
