Published: 10/12/2024
The episode of “PresaDiretta” airing tomorrow at 9:40 p.m. on Rai 3, entitled “The mafia of money”, will deal with organized crime and the intertwining of legal and illegal economies. Drugs and blood, encrypted phones and rivers of money, drug trafficking routes and luxury skyscrapers, even an island in front of Dubai, now seized by the Italian state. The international holding company of organized crime has many unexpected facets. From the Triple Frontera in South America to the financial markets, “PresaDiretta” tells the story of macro-mafias through the stories of two of the world's leading brokers, fugitives for decades and now in Italian prisons: Rocco Morabito, with his mysterious escape from Montevideo prison, and Raffaele Imperiale, with his incalculable wealth . And then the reconstruction of the Scampia feud, where Imperiale's rise to the highest levels of international crime began, his business in Holland and the mafia war that bloodied that country, the possession of two Van Gogh paintings and the exclusive images of the moment when investigators seized the two priceless masterpieces.
Anti-mafia prosecutors, Eureka and cryptophones
It will be a special episode, with the national anti-mafia prosecutor Giovanni Melillo , the public prosecutor at the Court of Naples Nicola Gratteri , the deputy prosecutor of Reggio Calabria Giuseppe Lombardo , the prefect Vittorio Rizzi , the director of the Criminal Police Raffaele Grassi. “Phantom secure”, “Encrochat”, “SkyEcc” are instead the names with which “Aspettando PresaDiretta” opens, in the first part of the evening, from 8:35 pm to around 9:25 pm. They were designed to protect the privacy of managers and VIPs, they have become the most technologically sophisticated communication tool for drug traffickers and mafiosi: they are crypto-cell phones, behind which there are unscrupulous entrepreneurs, the FBI, hackers, European investigators. The decryption of the messages that criminals from all over the planet have exchanged for years will allow hundreds of investigations to be started in the courts. Like “Eureka”, the largest operation ever carried out against the 'Ndrangheta in Europe, which started from the Reggio Calabria Prosecutor's Office and has come to involve seven other European countries, 108 people arrested in Italy alone
