There's lots of posts here about the Mafia in the Sicilian provinces of Catania, Palermo, and Agrigento, but let's not forget things are jumping in Caltanisetta, Ragusa, and Syracuse. Here's one on the Nardo clan of Lentini in Syracuse:

$60 MILLION IN MAFIA ASSETS SEIZED IN OPERATION TARGETING MOB INFLUENCE IN CITRIS TRANSPORT
February 7th, 2020

Taking advantage of the collaboration of 6 of his own family members and front names, although detained since the 1990s for Mafia association, mobster Filadelfo Ruggeri continued to manage the clan's activities through 2 thriving companies in Lentini.

The Court of Catania - Prevention Measures Section ordered the seizure of assets deemed attributable to life prisoner Ruggeri, a leading exponent of the Nardo clan of Lentini, and able to maintain strong control of the territory despite being in prison since the 1990s. The provision, aimed at confiscation, was carried out today by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of the operational department of the provincial command of Syracuse.

The investigations, conducted through wiretapping, enhancement of statements by collaborators of justice and patrimonial investigations, have allowed police to shed light on the front men put in place by the clan to operate in the lucrative sector of road transport of agricultural products, in particular citrus fruits, hindering the traceability of legal entities operating with respect to the criminal organization.

The provision has fully implemented the investigative findings, which have shown how Ruggeri, with the collaboration of 6 of his family members and figureheads, although detained since the 1990s for Mafia association, murders and more, continued to manage the activities of the clan, in particular through 2 thriving companies in Lentini operating in the fruit and vegetable transport sector, Ruggeri Francesco and Ruggeri Trasporti Srl, registered in the name of his family - which in 2018 expressed an overall turnover amounting to about 25 million euros, employing more than 200 employees -, having, in fact, the huge assets of the indicated companies, consisting of 344 vehicles including tractors, isothermal trailers and vehicles, buildings (apartments,warehouses and land) and current accounts, for an estimated value of approximately 50 million euros.

By investigating the profiles of traceability of these companies in terms of decision-making, management and profits, the investigations clarified that they were instrumental to the illegal activities of the clan and, highlighting the evident disproportion of the declared / legal income of the subjects with the accumulated assets and with the investments made over time, they have made it possible to seize said assets, artificially registered in the name of compliant third parties.

The companies in question were found to operate with the typical Mafia methods and monopolized the lucrative market of road transport of fruit and vegetables, in particular of citrus fruits of eastern Sicily, thus guaranteeing huge revenues to the clan. The companies, at the moment, have been entrusted to an administrator who will manage them on behalf of the State pending a possible future confiscation of assets.

The investigations, therefore, have further accredited the ways in which the Mafia organization of reference continues to exercise its incisive power to infiltrate the economic fabric of the territory, assuming control of sectors that characterize it. A thin red thread that unites legitimate and illegal activities, following the profits of the companies that entered directly into the coffers of the clan.
