Imperiale as well as Carbone will be careful in what they are going to tell the magistrates who they are going to imply and who not.
I am sure they won't tell a lot of stuff. Yeah most of the other evidence will come from the 100 million Sky chats, but that's a complicated investigation and several trials related to Sky are already difficult because judges can't always value that evidence. With all that crypto shit it's a new ball game.

he is not talking about the links with Taghi, Gacanin and Kinahan Not yet, Imperiale was in particular close with Rico the Chilean one of the most important members of the Super Cartel.

I read that some courts won't accept SKY as evidence. Yep there have been cases with Sky-ECC evidence in court dismissed, but in other cases courts found the evidence reliable. Operation Sky ECC is also delayed in Belgium due to 'unreadable CD-ROMs' and lack of proper computers.

The Taghi, Kinahan and Gacanin groups already have so much heat on them from law enforcement it'll be interesting to see how they're gonna recover from this.
Meanwhile there's still tons of cocaine passing through the Antwerp and Rotterdam ports so there must be lots and lots of other big players operating right now as we speak. Jos Leijdekkers is the big target here now closely tied to the Montenegrins. Yes, but he's on the run and has a lot of heat on him as well. Many people in his network also got busted or are on the run. Ridouan Taghi, Jos Leijdekkers, Said Razzouki, Mohamed Nyabi, Piet Costa, Henk Ebben, Piet Schneider, Martien Reuvers, Piet Wortel...are all names that got on the radar of law enforcement and are under the microscope to such an extent that I don't see them being involved in big time criminal dealings at the moment. There's other big fish out there currently operating that law enforcement still haven't been able to identify or still haven't been able to make a case against.

Raffaele Imperiale pentito, mentions the first names: “Money from drug dealing recycled into gold bars. Every month I spent 400 thousand euros” editorial board 8 December 2022 It's a raging river Raffaele Imperiale , by now the most famous ex narcos in the world, now repentant, has released the first statements as a collaborator of justice providing the first details on the earnings made in the world of drugs, the money spent to support the business and those for recycling. Four interrogations in the last two months, the first names of the partners and affiliates of the powerful globetrotting narcos appear.
He says he left his partner a cash of 18 million euros. And he says that he spent – ??for years – every month between 350,000 and 400,000 euros a month , money that was used «for the salaries of their members (the high-end ones pocketed up to 20,000 euros a month, [u]complete with thirteenth and fourteenth salaries )[/u], but also for the families of prisoners, for the insurance of cars and trucks to be used to transport cocaine and for the management of ordinary expenses.
Deal money in gold bullion «I invested in gold bars, I know that they sell foils in Naples. I got the ingots from a company, a foundry in the north near Venice». In this scenario, Imperiale brings up some partners, including Anastasio, Ursini and Genovese, claiming to have invested in an important shopping center (specializing in precious items) in Campania. A deal, that of the bullion, which would have produced revenues of twenty million a month ».
According to the account recorded in the minutes, Imperiale had long since decided not to deal directly with drugs. He worked on various platforms, thanks to encrypted circuits such as Sky ECC, an app used on smartphones for interception-proof conversations: «I had decided to deal only with economic flows» , he explained. I know words can be lost in translation but what's the bolded ,underlined part mean?someone getting extra? Bonus? With this and the recent Sicilian big boss capture, interesting times. Re informers: I'd be surprised if Italian oc is more ' rat' infested than other western white cultures. Or maybe the image is just that , an image
