9237030484?profile=originalOrganized crime at its most organized. That’s what Sicilian Cosa Nostra achieved by organizing all the families on the island in what are called ‘mandamenti’. Gangsters Inc.’s Angelo Carmelo Gallitto explains that “a 'mandamento' is formed by three or more neighboring crime families and it's led by a 'capomandamento', who is a member of the Provincial Commission. The 'capomandamento' is the boss of a crime family and he is usually elected by the other bosses of the area who are represented by him on the Provincial Commission.”

He continues: “But in time the rules changed. According to turncoat Tommaso Buscetta, in the past even a simple soldier could be elected as 'capomandamento', in order to not create rivalry between the family bosses. When Totò Riina became the boss of bosses, the 'capimandamento' were chosen directly by him. Some 'mandamenti' were removed or put under the supervision of others.”

For more on the various mandamenti that control organized crime in Sicily’s major province read Angelo Carmelo Gallitto’s “Cosa Nostra Families and Reputed Current Bosses of the Palermo Province.”

One of the most powerful mandamenti is the Porta Nuova mandamento, located in the center of Palermo. It is formed by the Porta Nuova, Palermo Centro, and Borgo Vecchio families.

Puparo decided to delve into Porta Nuova’s violent history and give a rundown of all the details, names, murder scenes, winners and losers of this mandamento. Any feedback, comments, suggestions, and/or corrections are, as always, appreciated.

London based former Altofonte boss Francesco Di Carlo arrested
30 May 1985 Francesco Di Carlo (44) gets arrested in London with some of his men. During the controlled delivery of 58 kilos of heroin to Montreal in 1985 - the RCMP and British Customs were aware of the traffic and closely watched the transactions - one of the traffickers, Filippo Vaccarello, and an unidentified person, were observed entering the office of Mr Alfonso Gagliano before the heroin arrived. After leaving the office Vaccarello proceeded with a tour of notorious bars well-known as selling points for heroin. This time the clan was caught red-handed when British Customs & Excise and the Canadian RCMP seized a shipment of 58 kilos of heroin in Montreal in June 1985, it was hidden in furniture. The heroin came from Bangkok and was send via India to England to be send further to the Caruana brothers in Montreal. The 58 kilo seizure and its money trail are reconstructed in Sentenzo Caruana+Cuffaro, and Sentenza Beddia+12. Principal suspects were co-mafioso Francesco Di Carlo of the Altofonte clan, who was arrested in the UK, and Gerlando Caruana in Montreal. The subsequent inquiry disclosed that there had been more shipments. Besides heroin, loads of hashish were smuggled in as well. Both Caruanas managed to leave England before they could be arrested. Sergeant Marc Bourque of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was appointed to investigate the financial aspects after the seizure of 58 kilo of heroin in 1985. One of the persons under arrest was Gerlando Caruana. When Bourque wanted to look into Caruana's bank accounts, an employee said he would not find much there, but he should look at the accounts of Gerlando's brother, Alfonso Caruana. What Bourque found there would keep him busy for the next five years. He code-named his investigation Operation Pilgrim. In one bank alone Bourque traced nearly 16 million U.S. dollars laundered through accounts of Alfonso Caruana. Thirty-six million U.S. dollars ended up in Swiss bank-accounts which were used to pay the Sicilian heroin suppliers. The dollars the clan transported to Canada were enough to supply the Montreal money-exchange market with its weekly requisite of U.S. cash. Bourque could trace some US$ 50 million laundered by the clan through 4 Canadian banks from 1978 until 1984. When Bourque presented his case to the Justice Department he was told that it would be discarded: it was deemed too expensive and too intricate. His pioneering investigation never reached a Canadian court. Aldo Tucci, the director of the City & District branch, was completely integrated in the clan's system. He set up front store companies and neglected his work for the bank. Eventually Tucci was fired.
