Piera Maggio: «Messina Denaro tell me what happened to my daughter Denise Pipitone»

Piera Maggio is convinced of this: Matteo Messina Denaro must know what happened to his daughter Denise Pipitone, who disappeared from Mazara del Vallo on 1 September 2004. «I’m sure he knew what happened 18 years ago, not because he was involved in the rapture, but why not a leaf moved in our territory without him knowing», the woman explains to AdnKronos, who expects the former boss to be able to provide some useful details for a breakthrough in the investigation. «A girl not even 4 years old kidnapped is an anomalous fact for our territory. For months the province remained in the spotlight with great media attention and a deployment of law enforcement that must have given his men a lot of annoyance and to himself. Impossible for the man who controlled the territory not to find out what had happened. I know I’m asking for a miracle but I want to try.”

Denise Pipitone’s mother and her father, Pietro Pulizzi, appeal to the magistrates: «After all the checks and investigations of the case, ask him where our daughter is. If he answered this question, we could finally get to the truth.” They know that it will be difficult for their request to be granted, «but we know that he is a very sick person and he could do it as a gesture of redemption towards all the innocents killed, towards the little Giuseppe di Matteo sentenced to death and dissolved in acid. I know I’ll never get the chance to meet him, but I’m asking him to help us figure out where Denise is, find her.”

Even the lawyer Giacomo Frazzitta, civil lawyer for Piera Maggio, is of the same opinion as the woman: “When something happens in a territory that causes a great stir and it wasn’t Cosa Nostra,” he explained to the Rai2 program 2 pm«the mobsters immediately try to get information. As in the case of the disappearance of Stefano and Antonio Maiorana, even if in that case the mafiosi were told lies. We don’t think that Messina Denaro could have been involved in Denise’s disappearance, but if he commanded the mafia in the Trapani area for 30 years, then he could be aware of something ».
