Roberto Saviano is probably the best known journalist in Italy and Europe for the fight against the mafia.
After the death of the boss of Cosa Nostra, Matteo Messina Denaro, Saviano in an article for "Corriere della Sera" has analyzed the wealth of the boss of Cosa Nostra, for the daughter of Messina Denaro, Lorenza.
Saviano writes that Messina's daughter Denaro agreed to take his last name only to get the money, otherwise she had no other option. But much of the money collected by the mafia boss, according to the journalist, may be in Albania, where investigations have often tracked him.
Where and how they were invested... no one knows this!
"It was talked about for a long time, a few days after his death, Lorenza became Messina Denaro.. She took his father's surname. And how is it possible, after all the insults, after you have compared your father with the worst possible words ...?
Well, there is no noble reason, no reason other than what always exists, what moves every man and every woman, what moves almost every human being: Money!
Prosecutors will never be able to identify all of Matteo Messina Denaro's money.
It is always a segment that remains to be discovered, especially in relation to material assets in Italy, but foreign accounts, his money possibly in Albania - an area where investigations have often traced him -, money in fiscal havens; they can never be achieved. Well, who will that money go to? Only for heirs recognized by the boss himself.
Inheritance in Cosa Nostra does not conform to the law, the inheritance of an honorable man is not divided, not fixed, but goes to whoever he says. And above all, it cannot go to any child who does not have the father's surname. Cosa Nostra only gives out money for one Messina Denaro. Here the mystery is explained. Lorenza, taking her father's surname, takes the title to manage the capital. Get the money...," he writes, among other things.
