Matteo Messina Denaro has gone viral on the web not only for the news concerning him, but because videos, photos and audio about his arrest have become memes, clips and cartoons that bounce on millions of cell phones especially of very young people who perhaps did not even know who is.
On Facebook and Instagram, in addition to dozens of profiles registered to the mafia boss with new photos of his face, also those with the name of the alias "Andrea Bonafede" but with Matteo's photo.
Immediately after the arrest, last Monday, the photograph of the Maddalena clinic was shot on mobile phones with Messina Denaro's feedback: one star out of 5 with the comment signed "negative experience. I will definitely not return".
Then the "Money and Gabbana" advertisement with the mafioso's clothing, sheepskin, sweater, shirt, hat and glasses and the relative prices.
Then the selfie depicting the boss with one of the surgeons who operated on him for liver metastases was conveyed, with the most varied titles.
The photo taken after or before
operation in May 2021 by the Maddalena doctor had been passed on after the arrest to some family members and colleagues who gradually spread it by sending it to the galaxy of the web.
The management of the clinic has called the doctor to order and is evaluating legal proceedings for those who use the photo or make "inappropriate" comments.
The world of Tik Tok is in a frenzy: memes and ironic clips are made with the videos of the arrest.
Above all, the one with the carabiniere's audio who asks immediately after the detention what's your name?
And the boss replies: I said it Matteo Messina Denaro, laugh it off, Matteo Messina Denaro.
The photographs of the former fugitive wanted for 30 years, edited with the "Sticker maker" app, are the basis of messages on wa.
With Wombo photography comes alive and with the backing tracks Messina Denaro becomes a singer with the most varied musical hits.
Furthermore, the audio of some of the women who shared a few moments with Matteo Messina Denaro while waiting to enter the Maddalena day hospital to undergo chemotherapy or in other wards runs on mobile phones, forwarded via Wa.
In a recording we hear a lady who in a chat says: "Girls you laugh at it but I went to have coffee with this. The girl who was with me in the therapy group is crying and is traumatized because the last message he sent it to her. A relationship had been established with this gentleman, he was too sensitive and loving, he had given everyone oil. He said he had this olive company. A person who, looking at it and remembering the sensitivity he had, is to be shocked. We all had therapy together we had coffee,
he made himself available for everything.
We understood that he was a character because he wore hats, glasses... I never gave him my phone number but with the other two friends they spoke via messages". Will it be true or false? Meanwhile, the Matteo Messina Denaro of the memes go crazy on social media.
