«Cruise»
Claudio Modeo, Giuseppe Cesario e Cosimo Di Pierro,
L'operazione «Cruise», risalente al 18 luglio del 2001, ha sgominato il clan di Claudio Modeo, il più piccolo dei fratelli della nota famiglia, già condannato all'ergastolo nell'ambito del processo «Ellesponto» Secondo gli investigatori, i traffici illeciti avevano avuto una certa recrudescenza nel periodo tra la fine del '99 e l'autunno 2000, in cui i tre boss erano detenuti a Taranto. Ma l'intervento deciso di Claudio Modeo, che minacciava rappresaglie, avrebbe ristabilito le gerarchie. Calogero Bonsignore e Gaetano Diodato agivano da portaordini e mantenevano i contatti con i referenti napoletani e brindisini. L'avv. Salvatore Maggio ieri ha parlato in difesa di Armando Antonante, Cataldo Sambito, Anna Cellamare e Cataldo Tortella.
