    STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi Andrea Zolea WikiMafia – Libera Enciclopedia sulle Mafie www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea La mafia dura da decenni: un motivo ci deve essere. Non si può andare contro i missili con arco e frecce: in queste vicende certe intemperanze si pagano duramente. Con il terrorismo, con il consenso sociale, potevi permettertele: con la mafia non è così. Nella società c’è un consenso distorto. Altro che bubbone in un tessuto sociale sano. Il tessuto non è affatto sano. Noi estirperemo Michele Greco, poi arriverà il secondo, poi il terzo, poi il quarto. Giovanni Falcone 1 www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea PREMESSA Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di offrire uno sguardo d’insieme sulle articolazioni strutturali delle organizzazioni mafiose denominate Cosa nostra e ‘ndrangheta . La prima sezione, curata da Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi, si concentra sull’analisi di Cosa nostra. La seconda sezione, che sposta il focus sulla ‘ndrangheta, è curata da Andrea Zolea. Come si potrà notare, le due sezioni non sono state realizzate secondo uno stesso modello, ma analizzano le due organizzazioni con un approccio differente. Ad esempio, la parte su Cosa nostra avrà un orientamento maggiormente diacronico, diversamente da quella sulla ‘ndrangheta, basata su un approccio sincronico. Il presente testo ha infatti l’obiettivo di offrire due proposte di analisi differenti che riescano a mettere in luce le analogie e le differenze delle strutture delle due organizzazioni mafiose.

Á Sikiley notar mafían heitið Cosa Nostra sem merkir „okkar mál“. Sikileyska mafían hefur haft ítök í efnahag og stjórnmálum eyjarinnar í hundruði ára en hún hefur einnig haslað sér völl á meginlandi Ítalíu og erlendis. Í lok 19. aldar var mikil kreppa á Ítalíu og fluttust margir íbúar Sikileyjar til Bandaríkjanna í leit að betra lífi og í kjölfarið mynduðust þar mafíuklíkur. Mafía er skipulögð glæpastarfsemi og stunda meðlimir hennar meðal annars fjárkúgun, peningaþvætti og eiturlyfja- og vopnasmygl. Á 10. áratug síðustu aldar náði baráttan gegn mafíunni hápunkti og voru dómararnir Giovanni Falcone og Paolo Borsellino þar fremstir í flokki. Giovanni og Borsellino helguðu lífi sínu baráttunni gegn mafíunni og urði þeir heimsfrægir fyrir harðfylgni sína gegn henni. Baráttan skilaði töluverðum árangri en nokkrir af helstu mafíuforingjum Sikileyjar voru handsamaðir. Tilgangur þessarar rigerðar er að greina frá megin einkennum sikileysku mafíunnar, sögu hennar og vinnubrögðum. Í fyrri hluta ritgerðarinnar er greint frá uppruna mafíunnar og þróun hennar í tímanna rás. Einnig er fjallað um hugtakið mafía og merkingu þess.

Copenhagen Business School, July 2008 Advisor: Susanne Gram Larsen By Ditte Roslyng Tastesen © Ditte Roslyng Tastesen 2008 Acknowledgements When first starting this project in Sicily, I experienced many obstacles, and doubted that I would succeed in completing this project. However, later in the process I was met with the kindness, which Sicilians are known for. Therefore, I would like to thank all of my interview people – they will be named later in the thesis – for taking their time and sharing so honestly their experiences and knowledge with me. Without them, this thesis would not have been possible. Particularly, I would like to thank Salvatore Costantino from University of Palermo for his guidance during my stay in Palermo. I would like to extend my thank you to other people that have crossed my way in Sicily, their openness and willingness to share have been of great use for a complete picture of the situation in Sicily. I would also like to thank Thomas Harder for his guidance in the beginning of the research process, and especially in connection with the mafia. Finally, I would like to thank Susanne Gram Larsen for guiding and encouraging me throughout the process. Her professionalism, knowledge and personal support have been invaluable and have helped me produce a project that I am proud of.

The result of such stereotyping is the belief strongly imbedded in the public's mind that Italian Americans are criminally inclined. In a poll of American adults, conducted by the Princeton-based Response Analysis, Inc. several years ago, 74% said they believed most Italian Americans have some association with organized crime. This perception is at odds with the facts: • The U. S. Department of Justice estimates that 5,000 people of all races and ethnic backgrounds are in organized crime today. Even if all 5,000 were Italian American, that would constitute .0025 or one- quarter of one percent of today's 16 million Italian Americans, the nation's fifth largest ethnic group.* *In the U.S.

    EDIZIONI DELLA BATTAGLIA Gioacchino Nania San Giuseppe e la mafia Nascita e sviluppo del fenomeno nell’area dello Jato Introduzione di Marcelle Padovani 1 Attraverso documenti, in massima parte inediti, questo lavoro ricostruisce, in maniera sistemati ca, nascita e sviluppo del fenomento mafioso nell'area dello Jato a partire dall'abolizione dei diritti feudali, nel 1812, sino ai tempi moderni con particolare riferimento a San Giuseppe Jato e San Cipirello. Due comuni, in unica realtà urbana, ubicati a lle spalle di Palermo in posizione baricentrica rispetto al circolo formato da Monreale, Piana degli Albanesi, Corleone, Alcamo, Partinico, Montelepre. Comuni noti per i Brusca, Di Maggio, Siino, Salamone e per la base operativa insediatavi, negli ultimi d ecenni, da Salvatore Riina. Comuni che, con motivazioni diverse, si rilevano nelle biografie non solo di Calvi, Insalaco, Salvo, Sindona ma anche di Marco Minghetti, Benito Mussolini, V.E. Orlando o dei parlamentari Rocco Balsano, Alfredo Cucco, Lanza di Trabia, Giovanni Lo Monte, Francesco Termini, Nicolò Zito. Sono i comuni di Portella della Ginestra e dell' "ideologo" della banda Giuliano, Pasquale Sciortino. Comuni di luminari, professori, professionisti e di straordinari arricchimenti attraverso mediat ori, assicuratori, industrie conserviere e portuali, mulini e pastifici . Nel 1927 l'on. Rocco Balsano dichiarava dinanzi al giudice Triolo: " Se un comune vi era in Sicilia dove la maffia era onnipotente era proprio quello di San Giuseppe Jato ". Erano gli anni del ducino on. Alfredo Cucco, plenipotenziario del fascismo in Sicilia, legato alla mafia dei comuni jatini attraverso il suo compare d'anello Santo Termini, Sindaco di San Giuseppe Jato.
