Hydra Investigation, the Review Court agrees with the Prosecutor's Office: "In Milan there is a consortium of mafias in a single association"

In Lombardy there is a new mafia system composed of top exponents of Cosa Nostra , 'ndrangheta and Roman Camorra. An authentic consortium that moves and has moved with the classic methods of a mafia association. A consortium whose size and presence had already been described by several informants who rooted it with its head in Milan and arms and legs throughout Italy . Not only to extort, but also and above all to infiltrate the Lombard economy through various sectors: from healthcare to construction, from logistics to politics. This was the ruling today by the Court of Appeal to which the Prosecutor's Office had appealed last October and renewed the request for precautionary custody in prison for 79 suspects - who now risk prison - after the investigating judge Tommaso Perna a year ago had rejected 142 requests for precautionary measures out of 153, rejecting the entire structure of the Hydra investigation built in three years of work by the prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti and the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit directed by Colonel Antonio Coppola on the "consortium" of the three mafias - Cosa Nostra, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta - renamed the "Lombardy mafia system".

The Milan Review Board considered it “widely demonstrated that the contested association made effective, concrete, current and perceptible use – even with violent or threatening methods – of the force of intimidation in the commission of crimes as well as in the acquisition of control and management of economic activities, which are precisely the areas of activity that, according to the regulatory parameter, typify the mafia nature of the group”. The outcome was communicated in a note by the president of the Milan court Fabio Roia: the association “participated (at various levels) by individuals of different mafia origins and with an operational scope is undoubtedly characterized in mafia terms” for the Review Board. In short, “it can be considered that individual individuals, even those belonging to the so-called historical mafias, have formed a mafia-style association that cannot be configured either as a confederation of mafias or as a 'supermafia', having transferred all the genetic traits of the associations to which they belong into the horizontal association”.

For chapter 1 of the ordinance, which concerns 56 individuals, therefore the Review Court has confirmed the mafia association at the moment for 13 individuals, among these the leaders of Cosa Nostra, ndrangheta and Roman Camorra, namely Giuseppe Fidanzati, Massimo Rosi and Gioacchino Amico. Chapter 1, the associative one, therefore concerns as investigated prominent figures such as the brothers Giuseppe and Stefano Fidanzati and also figures connected with the Trapani and Castelvetrano mafia in direct contact with Matteo Messina Denaro such as the boss Errante Paolo Parrino resident in Abbiategrasso. In addition to them representatives of the 'ndrangheta of Lonate Pozzolo , in addition to the Iamonte clanof Melito Porto Salvo and the Romeo Staccu of San Luca. Not to mention the Roman part represented by the Senese family coordinated by the boss Michele known as Pazzo , while it is his son Vincenzo who is investigated for mafia and belonging to the Consortium in the Milan investigation.
