The devastating accusation of mafia association falls on a double agent who, with the "passepartout" of being the parliamentary assistant of a deputy unaware of everything, passed from the corridors of Montecitorio to the prisons to meet as messenger boss and do them favors leaving themselves go to contemptible comments even on Falcone and Borsellino. It will be a surprise for many to discover the double life of Antonello Nicosia, 48, rooted in Sciacca, in the province of Agrigento, host of a TV program, "Half an hour of air", director of the International Observatory of Human Rights , member of the National Committee of Italian Radicals and volcanic collaborator of Pina Occhionero, the forty-year-old deputy elected in Molise, recently transited by Liberi and Uguali to the Renzian formation of Italia dei Valori. And at the Leopolda in Florence he had appeared two weeks ago with Nicosia as well, now in jail with four other boss supporters for the heavy indictments of the Palermo anti-mafia prosecution. Everything revolves around a tangle of relationships that would lead to the basin of the super boss fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro from the same Nicosia defined "our prime minister".
The Radicals
Rita Bernardini, member of the General Council of the Radical Party: «I didn't like how it worked when I was secretary of the Italian Radicals and he was a member of the movement. Then the relationship broke off when he joined the national committee of the Italian Radicals and I joined the Radical Party. We had had some differences about how prison visits should be done "
Offenses to Falcone and Borsellino
There are many immoderate passages captured by the bugs with surprising recordings screened by the prosecutor Franco Lo Voi with the added Paolo Guido and with the substitutes Francesca Dessì and Geri Ferrara. Bugs installed by the financiers of Gico and the police of the Ros. The most unpleasant is a conversation made in the car. Nicosia, talking to a lawyer, complains about the name of the Palermo airport named after the judges Falcone and Borsellino: "But because we have to explain who I am, sorry, because we always have to mix the same mer …". Then he infers derisory on the massacres of 1992. Adding that one should not even remember the magistrate victim of a "work accident" in Capaci: "But then that there was not even magistrate when he was killed, Falcone. He already had a political office. " And to name the airport he proposed not to choose two magistrates, but Luigi Pirandello or Leonardo Sciascia. A way to erase the fatal past of an island where to store the memory of the massacres wanted by Cosa Nostra. But it was not only a dull opinion, sometimes echoed in Sicily, because Nicosia, according to the accusation, would have been organic to the Messina Denaro clans. Especially near the 61-year-old boss Accursio Dimino, considered the new head of the Sciacca mafia family after being sentenced to 17 years in prison by the historic leader Salvatore Di Ganci in the Montagna survey.
The caution of the messenger
Dimino was released three years ago after serving a sentence of 9 years and 4 months for the mafia imposed on him in 2008 following the operation "Scacco Matto". Then he had chosen to sink, as is now the habit of the bosses. But continuing to search underground channels of communication with the super-fugitive already reached in 1996 with a dense network of pizzini. An invitation to caution emerges in the same words of Nicosia when he reproaches one of his interlocutors: "You must not speak to matula (a vanvera, ed)". Proud of himself, of his function as messenger facilitated by the role of parliamentary collaborator: "When you enter with a deputy, it is not like when you enter with the Radicals. They close the door … ». The same that the magistrates closed at the dawn of a black Monday, however, behind his back.
«Money from Messina Money»
In the cell he will be able to read the file in which the investigators accuse him even of having also brigade with the bosses "waiting for a huge financing of Messina Denaro for the realization of an undefined project". A project "relating to the prison sector", reads the provision. With Nicosia decided to claim those funds "not considering sufficient the thanks that he claimed to have received from the same wanted". Reconstructed the so-called "inspections" of Nicosia in prisons: on 21 December 2018 in Sciacca, the day after in Trapani and in Agrigento, on 1 February 2019 in Tolmezzo, as the prosecutors write: "Moreover, with the passage of time it even reached plan further dangerous initiatives always planning to exploit, for this purpose, the relationship with Mr Occhionero ».
Against the 41 bis
Also according to the indictment, the suspect in time, would have tried to favor some prisoners, including Filippo Guttadauro, the brother-in-law of Messina Denaro, currently interned in Tolmezzo with a regime of hard prison, the so-called «41 bis». In the first episode of his television program "Half an hour of air", Nicosia interviewed a lawyer speaking of "an alleged anti-constitutional nature of the procedure for applying security measures, the so-called" white life sentences "", with particular regard to that regime imposed after the great massacres.
Occhionero: «Collaboration interrupted for some time»
Giuseppina Occhionero, the parliamentary whose assistant Nicosia was, has meanwhile commented on the incident: "I thank the judiciary and the police for the extraordinary work against the mafia. What is read in the interceptions is shameful and very serious. The collaboration with me, which lasted only four months, was born by virtue of his curriculum, in which he pretended to be a university professor as well as a scholar of the rights of prisoners. As soon as I was able to realize that his curriculum and his stories did not correspond to reality – he explains – I interrupted the collaboration. The visits in prison, moreover, are part of the parliamentary work to guarantee the rights of both prisoners and those who work there ».
