"It can be assumed that Raffaele Cutolo's presence could strengthen the criminal groups that still refer to the NCO, groups in which Cutolo has fully retained his charisma," the judges wrote. They immediately continued: "Despite his age and his continued imprisonment, he represents a 'symbol' for all those criminal groups" that continue to invoke his name.
