The Boss of San Lorenzo, the “Muds” and the “Miserables”: All Sentenced
PALERMO – Giulio Caporrimo’s conviction has been confirmed. The San Lorenzo boss said of himself “I am Cosa Nostra” while he reserved offensive words for his other affiliates.
“Mud” and “wretched” he called them in his monologues. He spoke to himself in his exile in Florence where he had moved after finishing a sentence. He was banned from living in Palermo.
Once back in the city he would have tried to take back the place he had left. Things had changed. Caporrimo was against the plan to reconvene the Palermo Cosa Nostra dome that met in Baida in May 2018. He did not recognize the figure of Francesco Palumeri , chosen by Calogero Lo Piccolo to command his district.
Blitz Bivio and Bivio2 Caporrimo's name opens the list of defendants in the appeal trial arising from the Carabinieri operations called "Bivio" and "Bivio2" which targeted the families of Tommaso Natale, San Lorenzo, Partanna Mondello and Zen.
The Court presided over by Raffaele Malizia sentenced him to 14 years, two less than the first degree, recognizing the continuation of a previous sentence. In total he will have to serve 30 years. The acquittal of his son Francesco was confirmed.
The accused and the sentences These are the other sentences: Francesco Adelfio 11 years and 4 months (he had been sentenced to 14 years and 8 months), Giuseppe Cusimano 13 years (from 17 years and 4 months), Sebastiano Giordano 7 years and 4 months (from 9 years and 4 months), Vincenzo Taormina 5 years and 8 months (he had been sentenced to 12), Francesco L'Abbate 11 years and 8 months (one year less than the first degree), Vincenzo Billeci 6 years and 4 months (he had been sentenced to 10 years), Giuseppe Rizzuto 7 years (from 8 years and 8 months), Fabio Ventimiglia 4 years, one month and 10 days (from 6 years), Michele Zito 9 years and 4 months (from 10 years and 8 months), Andrea Mancuso 11 years, 2 months and 20 days (he had been sentenced to 13 years).
No discount, therefore sentences confirmed for Antonino Vitamia (18 years and 4 months), Francesco Palumeri (18 years), and Salvatore Fiorentino (8 years and 8 months).
