The ROS carabinieri arrested the architect Massimo Gentile and the radiologist technician of the Mazara del Vallo hospital Cosimo Leone. The three allowed the boss to have a normal life for about ten years, providing him with identity.

Since the capture of the boss, which took place on 16 January 2023, 14 people accused of having helped the wanted mafia boss have ended up in handcuffs. Four have already been convicted. Even today, says the Palermo prosecutor's office, a total silence "envelops like a very thick fog"
