Matteo Messina Denaro's sister Rosalia was sentenced to 14 years in prison by Palermo's preliminary bearing judge for aggravated mafia association and receiving stolen property. According to the prosecution, the woman, who has been in prison since March 2022, helped her brother evade capture for years and managed on his behalf the mafia family's "cash box" and the network for transmitting "pizzini". And it was from a "pizzini", hidden in the leg of a chair at his sister's house, that the boss's capture came on January 16, 2023. For Matteo Messina Denaro's sister, Palermo DDA (Antimafia District Directorate) prosecutors had asked for a 20-year prison sentence.
