In Reggio Calabria Davide Bilardi of the Tegano gang repents
(ANSA) - REGGIO CALABRIA, SEPTEMBER 16 - There is a new 'ndrangheta informer in Reggio Calabria. It is Davide Bilardi, 49 years old, believed to be close to the Tegano gang and arrested for mafia association in October 2023 as part of the "Atto quarto" investigation, coordinated by the Reggio Calabria District Anti-Mafia Directorate.
The news emerged today in the bunker courtroom during the "Garden" trial where the Prosecutor's Office filed the first interrogation reports of the new collaborator who speaks of a plan to attack the boss Cosimo Borghetto.
Once among the most loyal followers of the boss Paolo Schimizzi, the nephew of Giovanni Tegano who disappeared about fifteen years ago for lupara bianca, Bilardi "played - according to the magistrates - roles of communicator of messages in the relationships with the other articulations of 'ndrangheta, also in function of the collection of extortion proceeds, and was in charge of the management of business interests". In particular, in the investigation documents Davide Bilardi is defined as "the man of connection between the mafia families of Archi and the Libri clan".
With the prosecutors of the DDA, Bilardi spoke about his relationship with the leaders of the Cannavò gang Totò Libri and Edoardo Mangiola, also defendants in the "Atto quarto" trial.
Both had clashed with the boss Cosimo Borghetto. The latter, "once released from prison, declared that he did not recognize - as stated in the reports - Filippo Chirico's top role and claimed the role of head of the entire Libri gang and no longer just the Borghetto-Zindato gang.
Edoardo Mangiola, who was very close to Filippo Chirico, was so upset that together with Totò Libri they had planned to kill Cosimo Borghetto. On two occasions they attempted to kill him, one in the Saracinello area and the other near a butcher's shop near the headquarters of the Regional Council". (ANSA).
