'Ndrangheta Killer Bellantoni Among Europe's Most Wanted: He's Been a Fugitive Since 1971
The updated list on the Enfast “EU Most Wanted” website. The 80-year-old Calabrian, known as Mburia, is believed to be an affiliate of the Piromalli clan
ROME Giovanni Motisi, Domenico Bellantoni, Vincenzo Parisi and Renato Cinquegranella . There are four Italians included in the list of the 5 7 most wanted by the European police forces as responsible for murder . “They have blood on their hands” is written on the EU Most Wanted website of Enfast, the European network of fugitive active search teams, a service active in the search for fugitives supported by Europol: on the homepage, mug shots, names and an invitation to citizens to contact the authorities promptly if they recognize someone.
Among our fellow countrymen, the best-known name is that of Giovanni Motisi from Palermo , 66 years old on January 1, missing since 1998. Known by the nickname 'u pacchiuni, the fat one, a leading figure of Cosa Nostra, after the capture of Matteo Messina Denaro he is considered by many to be the new head of the organization. Toto' Riina's trusted killer , according to the statements of a repentant, accused of murder and massacre, has a life sentence to serve. In 1999, during the search of his villa in Palermo, a thick correspondence between him and his wife came to light, notes delivered by trusted "postmen" together with clothes and gifts. And it is from the same year that he appeared for the last time in Sicily, at his daughter's birthday party: in the photos found several years later, the walls covered with white sheets stand out so as not to be recognized as the place. Since then, nothing more or almost nothing enough to fuel the suspicion - recurrent in large fugitives - that Motisi may be dead. The other hypothesis is that he sought, and found, refuge in France. To facilitate the search, the Police released a new identikit in April, the result of the reworking of the physiognomy of the face with the "Age progression" system.
Domenico Bellantoni, 80, known as Mburia, also sentenced to life imprisonment, is a 'ndrangheta killer, affiliated with the Piromalli clan from Reggio, who has been a fugitive since 1971. Europol describes him as "a dangerous and potentially armed individual". His CV includes, among other things, the attempted murder by gunshots of Rocco Malvaso and the murder of Francesco Tocco. Taking advantage of his criminal profile, he is also said to have induced a minor to prostitute herself in Rosarno.
Vincenzo Parisi, 75, also has a life sentence to serve, linked to the "Foggia mafia", known for its ruthlessness: with two accomplices, he lured Filippo Russo and Franco Cavazzuti into a trap and killed them "for trivial reasons" with shots from a .38 caliber pistol. According to Europol, to avoid detection and arrest he used a stolen and falsified identity card.
Renato Cinquegranella, a 75-year-old Neapolitan, has practically disappeared since 2002.Wanted for mafia-style criminal association, complicity in murder, extortion and other charges, he was originally linked to the “Nuova famiglia”, historic rivals of Raffaele Cutolo’s Nuova Camorra Organizzata: an old grainy black and white photo of him remains in the archives, with advanced baldness, glasses, a black moustache and a gaze fixed on the lens. A face like many others, yet his name appears in the judicial chronicles of two of the crimes that most shook Naples: the murder of Giacomo Frattini, alias Bambulella, a soldier of the NCO, tortured, killed and dismembered in January 1982, and the massacre of the head of the Mobile Antonio Ammaturo and his driver, Pasquale Paola, “signed” in July of the same year by the Red Brigades. An episode that confirmed the existence of a “wicked pact” between the terrorists and the area bosses of the Camorra in central Naples. Since December 2018, searches have been launched internationally, but so far without results. The Court of Cassation confirmed his life sentence in May 2014. (AGI)
