MILAN He allegedly hid an arsenal of weapons in his home in Taino in the province of Varese, including at least four pistols, including a machine gun, a rifle, two shotguns, two silencers and 1,330 cartridges of different calibers. For this, Giovanni Abilone, 44, was arrested last night by the Police. According to the maxi investigation “Hydra” by the Milanese DDA and the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit, he would be one of the “mafia exponents” linked to the “Castelvetrano district” of Matteo Messina Denaro, who died in 2023, and of the alleged affiliates of the alliance between three mafias, Cosa Nostra, Camorra and ' Ndrangheta . In Abilone's car, arrested red-handed in Milan, 37 grams of cocaine were also found, as well as another revolver with ammunition. The prosecutor on duty in Milan, Roberta Amadeo, has requested the validation of the arrest and precautionary detention in prison. In October 2023, the investigating judge had rejected 142 requests from the DDA for precautionary measures out of 153 in the “Hydra” investigation, ordering 11 arrests and rejecting the accusation of mafia association as a “consortium” of the three mafias, renamed by the prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti and the prosecutor Marcello Villa “Lombardy mafia system”. The Review Court then accepted the appeal of the Prosecutor, ordering precautionary detention in prison for about forty suspects. In recent days, the Court of Cassation, accepting the line of the prosecutors and the Review Court, is rejecting the appeals of the defense and the Carabinieri, after the various hearings underway until mid-February, are carrying out arrests for mafia association.
