"You destroyed my family", the shocking testimony of the most wanted mafia boss in Italy before he died

Matteo Messina Denaro, aware that his days were numbered due to the incurable disease that struck him, did not rule out the possibility of speaking to the referees.
"I'm not interested, then in life never say never understand each other. I have never been absolute in the sense that because I say something it will always be the same, in my life I have changed my mind many times, but with strong foundations", said the mafia boss on July 7, 2023 to the deputy prosecutor of Palermo, Paolo Guido, who invited him to contribute "to the reconstruction of parts of the truth", according to Tgcom24.
"I'm not the type of person who destroys others"
"Let there be real fragments that are, so to speak... that give us the opportunity to say, "This is the truth", so prosecutor Guido invited Messina Denaro to speak, without ever inviting him. to repent but only to provide "historical" elements. "Part of the truth - adds the magistrate - that you will tell us and that will allow you to be even more calm, in terms of your history, to this garbage that surrounded you before and after and for a few days . ago This is our invitation to reflect…”. “I'm at the end of my life, but the thing is, I'm not that kind of person – and believe me it's the truth, I can't give a damn anymore – I'm not that kind of person. who comes to you and talking about murder, to destroy X, Y, it doesn't make sense in my way, explain?” he says in another passage of the interrogation.
"I'm a mobster and everyone loved me"
"I am, let's say in quotes, a mafia as you consider me, a bit of an anomaly, I have not made enemies of anyone in the territory, I mean my country, everyone loves me, this morning you thought you would find a Rambo, but instead of you didn't find anything." A more modest tone than usual, tired, pained and ready to admit only what he cannot really deny, this is how Matteo Messina Denaro answered the Palermo prosecutors who went to question him on July 7.
The godfather was already very ill and knew his days were numbered. He would die on September 25 in the L'Aquila hospital from colon cancer.
"The money? Mom always gave it to me"
"I have always been in what you consider the mafia as a guarantee for everyone, I have not stolen anything from anyone, I am talking about my environment, I have never tried to dominate, neither for power nor for money", he explains.
When the magistrates asked him where the money found in the house of his sister Rosalia, who was later arrested, came from, he replied: “I needed it to support myself. The money found on my sister certainly came from my mother because it was family. "Do you think I went out to commit robbery or to seek extortion?" he asked the magistrates. "I have never demanded extortion from anyone, I have never been involved in drug trafficking, I have never committed robbery. Money was available to my family, my mother always tried to keep it and give it to everyone, especially me."
"My family burned to the ground"
"I have a ruined family ... but in the end what was my fault? I may have personal faults: hang me, give me all the life sentences you want; but my family has paid for this kind of relationship with me. for a lifetime, that I get a sister or a brother...". Matteo Messina Denaro complained about the investigations against his family members to Palermo prosecutors, who went to question him in prison on July 7.
"I know only one thing - he adds - which, however, I am not accusing, that you have destroyed my family, you have razed it to the ground, there are systems that are wrong, never mind the beliefs, there are systems that they. don't go now I hear: destroyed houses…runaway or mobster? She... the law, the state destroyed her house, the furniture destroyed," he told the judges.
"I had friends everywhere, I lived the life of a free man"
"What kind of life have I lived in Palermo? Free like Campobello's because for better or worse you've explored Campobello's (the town where he spent most of his time hiding), but overall I've always been live that life, so the same . Similar". This is how Matteo Messina Denaro answered the Palermo prosecutors, who asked him on July 7 about the fugitive's status. The interrogation report was filed in the preliminary hearing against the girlfriend, Laura Bonafede. "My friendships don't start and end only in the world you consider mafia, it's not like that, my friendships were everywhere," he added.
The mafia boss also said he got tattoos in the center of the capital between 2006 and 2009 and had periodic treatment with a dentist. “I have never distinguished between the rich and the poor,” he continued, “of course if I had to hang out with a poor person, I didn't go there with Rolex as a form of education, but if I was in business my, people like me, I didn't have problems, that is, I didn't have that form of suffocation (editor's note boast), I didn't want to prove anything".
