Giuseppe Calò

Giuseppe Calò (alias Pippo Calò , born the September 30th 1931 with Palermo) is a Italian Mafiosi. Called the “cash clerk of the Maffia” because it was heavily implied in the delinquency with White collar (in particular the Money laundering), he is also the person in charge of the Attentat of the train Naples-Milan in 1984.

Giuseppe Calò killed Pietro Scaletta in 1954 in order to avenge his/her father and became the same year member of honor of the family of Porta Nuova. It replaced the godfather Carlo Brandaleone with its death in 1962, and took share at the Provincial Commission of the Maffia as a Capomandamento with the beginning of the year 1970. Supporting the godfather of the godfathers Totò Riina at the time of the War of the Maffia to the beginning of the year 1980, it then became one of allied most important of the Corleone. At the end of the years 1970, right in the middle of the Years of lead, it went to Rome where it was supported by the local staff of the Cosa Nostra, like by the terrorists Néo-fascistes and of the members of the Banda della Magliana. Pippo Calò was also dependant of very near with several politicians, the freemasons, the members of the secret services, the bishops and the bankers. One suspected it of the murder of the journalist Carmine Pecorelli (killed on March 20th, 1979, perhaps because of a conflict with the president of the Council Giulio Andreotti), of the bankers Michele Sindona (March 22nd, 1985) and Roberto Calvi (June 18th, 1982), of the lawyer Giorgio Ambrosoli (June 12th, 1979), as well as magistrates Chinnici, Giovanni Falcone and Borsellino. In 1978 the Commission of Cosa Nostra would have asked him to contact the red Brigades in order to release the chief of the Christian Democrat Aldo Moro (removed whereas it negotiated a historical Compromis with the Communist party), but Giuseppe Calò would have answered that Andreotti was opposite there.
