Palermo: construction company seized from Giuseppe Sansone, a loyalist of Riina

Seizure of assets for one million euros from the 62-year-old building contractor Giuseppe Sansone , a loyalist of Totò Riina , carried out by the state police, on a proposal from the prosecutor and the police commissioner of Palermo. The provision involved a construction company owned by a relative, located in Palermo, in the Uditore area, as well as various financial relationships in the name of Sansone and his family members.
The man, currently detained, a leading member of the Uditore mafia family, included in the mafia district of Passo di Rigano-Boccadifalco, was definitively convicted of mafia-type association. He was trusted by the boss Salvatore Riina for which he also made himself available during his fugitive as a driver.
Following the arrest of the Corleonese godfather, which took place in 1993, during the search carried out in the house where he had spent his last period on the run, handwritten notes were found with references also to other members of the Sansone family. His entrepreneurial influence exercised continuously from the 80s/90s up to today.
In particular, the seized company, set up in 2006 by Giuseppe Sansone and his spouse, was transferred to a relative in 2008, despite not having sufficient income to make the investment required to purchase the shares in the company.
