CATANIA - Sicario, torturer, drug dealer. Dario Caruana, regretting the last hour, has always adapted to what his mafia bosses asked him. The former boss of the Santapaola-Ercolano clan has been filling pages and pages of reports since September, revealing the secrets of a piece of the Cosa Nostra story. The monthly S, currently on newsstands and online, publishes exclusive revelations that could get several bosses and killers into trouble.

It is Alessandro Strano, for years the boss of Monte Po and then migrated to the Cappello-Bonaccorsi, the one that over 25 years ago began his mafia career. But his 'godfather' has blue blood. It is Nino 'u pazzu' Santapaola, brother of Nitto, who lets him officially enter the Catano family of Cosa nostra. "I committed all the typical crimes of organized crime: robbery, extortion, drug trafficking, usury and murder", explains Caruana. And he tells, starting from tormented adolescence. "I started to kidnap as a minor - reveals the repentant to pm Rocco Liguori - in 1994 I met Alessandro Strano at the Bicocca juvenile prison, while a few years later, in 1999, I met Franco Di Venuto, intended 'u ghiacciaru', affiliate to the Santapaola clan, who introduced me to Antonino Santapaola intended 'nino u pazzu'. Nino Santapaola, whom we called Uncle Nino, joined me with Alessandro Strano, who at that time was the regent of the Santapaola family in Monte Po. In 1999 there was a blitz against the Santapaola clan and they were all arrested, including Alessandro Strano who made a brief inaction ". Everyone is in jail, Dario Caruana tries to understand what he has to do. And this is where there is 'mafia imprinting': Caruana enters the ranks of the Mirabili.

"So I spoke again with Nino Santapaola - he says - who joined me with Giuseppe Mirabile who I already knew as a boy because we lived in the same neighborhood as the Capuchins. I can therefore say that I joined the Santapaola clan in 1999. With Giuseppe Mirabile, until 2002, we consummated OMISSIS extortions ". Caruana reveals the map of the lace, but it is covered by an investigative secret. Still prison for the santapaoliano. "Then I was arrested in 2002 and once released, in November of that year, I found Alfio and Giuseppe Mirabile who had become the regents of the Santapaola clan and I returned to their side. At the time the group was numerous and was formed by me, Alfio and Giuseppe Mirabile, by Ciccio Mirabile, father of Giuseppe OMISSIS ”. The organization chart of that era is also top secret. Perhaps there are 'sensitive' names on an investigative level.
