Palermo clan’s money laundering at max level, 9 don’t comply with judge
Nine out of eleven people involved in the investigation of the Palermo District Anti-Mafia Directorate on a large money laundering scheme allegedly carried out by mafia members close to Matteo Messina Denaro have remained silent before the judge during the guarantee interrogation. The only ones who did not invoke their right to remain silent were Antonino Putaggio and Leonardo Palmeri, who gave their version of the facts to the prosecutors. The others, from Salvatore and Andrea Angelo, father and son, mafiosi from Salemi at the center of the operation, to the Palermo mafia boss Michele Micalizzi, chose to remain silent.
The investigation not only revealed the attempted money laundering by the suspects, but also uncovered the mafia’s plan to acquire 12 retail outlets of Coop Sicilia, to launder out-of-circulation lire on behalf of the ‘Ndrangheta, and to clean the money of Calogero John Luppino, the king of online illegal betting, another loyal associate of the former fugitive.
