Excellent article. Does anyone believe a sister was made tho?

No, initiation rites of belonging are reserved for men, but some females end up operating almost at the level of the godfather. Rosalia's power was immense.

It's indeed the home where Matteo grew up.

That painting on the wall though LOL. The King is dead long live the King!

I believe Rosalia will be crucial in taking care of Denaro's huge heritage and maybe even the future of Trapani Cosa Nostra.

Rosalia Messina Denaro, the investigating judge of Palermo: ''A real mafia woman''
Joseph Cirillo July 31, 2024



Reasons filed for sentence that inflicted 14 years in prison on “Rosetta”, sister of Matteo Messina Denaro
“ Rosalia Messina Denaro is a 'mafia woman' not only and not so much because she was born, raised and lived in a mafia family, but because, with conscious and unquestioned adherence to the rules of the association, she has played with continuity and shrewdness, for a long period, an important role within the organization”. This was written in black and white by the preliminary investigations judge (GIP) of Palermo in the 14-year prison sentence, with abbreviated procedure, inflicted on 12 July on Rosalia Messina Denaro , sister of the massacre boss Matteo Messina Denaro . In fact, the judge established that the sister of the Cosa Nostra boss, who died on September 25, 2023 in the hospital of L'Aquila following a serious form of colon cancer, played a "full, effective and long-lasting" role within the mafia association, demonstrating full and unconditional adherence to the rules of Cosa Nostra, that is, a precise choice of criminal life based on the rejection of the State and its laws. The proof of her conscious and unconditional adherence to Cosa Nostra goes far beyond the blood tie. Rosalia Messina Denaro chose, in fact, to consciously and unquestioningly adhere to the rules of the mafia, playing important roles for a long time. She manifested her emblematic mentality through several notes, in which she expressed her considerations on the actions of the investigators, who in her opinion were persecutors of her brother.


The operational role within Cosa Nostra
The sister of the massacre boss, arrested by the Carabinieri of the ROS on March 3, 2023 on charges of mafia association, did not limit herself to transmitting the "pizzini", but was also a direct recipient of the instructions to be carried out. Tasks that were sometimes also carried out by the brothers Salvatore and Patrizia Messina Denaro - Rosalia is the eldest of Messina Denaro's four sisters -, by her husband Filippo Guttadauro , convicted of mafia association and currently detained under 41bis, and by her brothers-in-law. Coming to play a central role in the confidential communication system for her brother during the long years of his time as a fugitive. For this reason, according to the investigating judge, the woman was "an absolutely trusted collaborator". A true "protagonist of the tested and confidential system of conveying communications to and from the fugitive, not limiting herself to physically transmitting the notes, but being the direct recipient of the instructions to be carried out, even regarding requests to third parties". Furthermore, she allegedly carried out “a series of important economic transactions, incoming and outgoing, accompanied by acronyms, indications, detailed financial reporting that appear incompatible with an activity of reporting amounts legitimately acquired and used to cover personal and family expenses in the strict sense”. In truth, Rosalia Messina Denaro also had the task of managing the “reserved fund”, continuously fed, “to be used not only for her fugitive brother and to cover personal expenses, including luxury ones, but also for the distribution of money to third parties”.
