Dia highlights this in the report for the 1st quarter of 2023
Drug trafficking, corruption, the supremacy of the Rinzivillo family, the ramifications of the mafia in Emilia Romagna and Lazio, the damage, operations, seizures and confiscations. Once again, the report for the first half of 2023 of the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate x-rays the structuring of crime in the province of Caltanissetta. The focus on Gela remains alarming and the analysis reconfirms a disturbing trend. In the Nisseno territory Cosa Nostra and Stidda coexist, whose relations tend to remain peaceful since, over the years, they have managed to establish mutual coexistence agreements for the division of criminal affairs.
Cosa Nostra would continue to be divided into 4 districts and 18 families with a structure based on less rigid schemes than in the past for the distribution of the territorial competences of the mafia groups. On the southern side the districts of Riesi and Gela dominate. Within this last district, in addition to the Niscemi family, the local Cosa Nostra families of the Emmanuello and Rinzivillo still operate. Lastidda would continue to maintain its influence in the territories of Gela and Niscemi.
The key crimes of the gangs remain unchanged, with a marked propensity for drug trafficking. The demonstration, for the Dia, has its heart in the Hybris operation of 21 February 2023, with the Nissena and Agrigento State Police which dismantled a criminal association aimed at drug trafficking, having its logistics base in Licata and ramifications for the supply of the amazing in Gela and Catania. The investigative activities demonstrated a pact signed between a family from Licata and one from Gela, aimed at the marketing of cocaine and marijuana. Drug dealing is mostly left to foreigners, almost always of Nigerian, Tunisian and Gambian nationality. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning the involvement of foreign and Italian subjects in activities to facilitate illegal immigration. Not just drugs, crime also focuses on scams. Basis think of the “Fake cars” operation with the Caltanissetta State Police executing a custodial order against 8 subjects held responsible for a criminal association, fraud, receiving stolen goods, money laundering, false material, possession and manufacturing of false documents. Less blood and more corruption. The tendency of criminal organizations, which have abandoned the use of violent actions as in the past, writes Dia, would be to insinuate themselves into the socio-economic fabric of reference by “involving” representatives of the public administration through corruptive maneuvers, infiltrating mostly those productive sectors that manage the main flows of money through the awarding of public and private contracts, to extract illicit profits from them to be reused in legal channels. The sad record of damage was reconfirmed in Gela. There are still many, too many arson attacks which, according to the Dia, are attributable to extortion and private revenge, at the hands of criminals who unscrupulously target commercial businesses, service activities and even institutional entities. The state is there. On March 21, 2023, the State Police identified a criminal responsible for the fire that occurred on February 8, 2023, damaging 5 cars. Furthermore, the contrast strategy implemented with seizures and confiscations is effective: from that against an entrepreneur active in the mechanical and plant engineering sector considered “close” to the Emmanuello family of Gela to the definitive confiscation of movable and immovable assets, for a total value of approximately seven hundred and fifty million euros, towards an entrepreneur active in the trade and wind power plants sector considered “contiguous” to the Rinzivillo family of Gela.
