Mafia, the super bosses break the low profile rule and parade in front of Klaus Davi’s cameras. The Affairs interview with the columnist
Nino Imerti called Ferocious Dwarf, Pino Piromalli called Facciazza, Vincenzo Pesce called Sciorta, Tommaso Inzerillo of the ‘Scappati’ of Palermo, the alleged killer Giuseppe Curciarello as well as the Foggia. Salvatore Manzela called Samson. They capitulate like forts conquered one after another the super bosses of the Cosa Nostra and the ‘Ndrangheta and the Sacra Corona, yielding to the questions of Klaus Davi, who interviewed several. The last of these is Giuseppe Piromalli called Facciazza, head of the Piromalli clan. The columnist talks about it with Affaritaliani.it.
Klaus, what’s the secret? Until now it was said that the ‘Ndrangheta wanted to keep a low profile.
True, but only partially. Already Joe Marrazzo several years ago managed to obtain statements from various crime bosses from Campania and also from Calabria.
Yes, but they were other times. And you serialized it …
There are no secrets. I introduce myself and ask questions. Whoever wants to answer.
Are you upsetting a cliché that has also been fueled by the state for years?
They were referring to “pre-Klaus Davi” journalism. I’m not saying this out of presumption, because I’m nobody. I don’t consider myself talented. I simply told the families “I am here to tell you, not to judge you”. My motto is now well known: I am not a rabbi, I am not a priest, I am not a judge. I’m just a reporter and not that good.
And what about the Mafia families?
Some laughed at me, others looked curiously, still others said “let’s talk about it”.
When you introduce yourself to them, some treat you almost as if you were their family member …
I became friends with some bosses’ sons. I have been in close correspondence with many of them.
I mean, you exchange text messages with mammasantissima …
We wrote to Francesco Pelle, known as Ciccio Pakistan, for two years. I gave the news of his escape from Milan, do not forget that. We met with Girolamo Mommino Piromalli for 3 years. We have seen and heard each other for a long time with Giuseppe Pesce, Sciorta’s son. They are just a few. We also felt with Emanuele Mancuso for years, before his repentance.
Fear?
At first yes, but after a while I don’t think about it.
Is it true that a Mafia boss had you “kidnapped” in Reggio to meet you?
Not exactly. We have arranged with one of his affiliates to meet. He wanted to know me. We made an appointment in front of the Reggio Calabria station. I followed them and we met in an abandoned house on the outskirts. His affiliate left us completely alone.
Risky…
Yes, but I wanted to know him. He is a boss with a very particular story … The curiosity was mutual. He was thrilling. I asked him for an interview. He took his time. But he said ‘I wanted to meet her’. It may have been said: but who is this crazy Swiss who goes around here.
