"We have to fill Italy with smoke and everyone has to buy from us,” Andera Deiana, the international drug broker and friend of Camorra and 'Ndrangheta bosses, dreamed big and yesterday ended up in the investigation of the Milan DDA which led to 31 precautionary measures.
He and his friend Vincent Amato, exponent of the Coluccia clan of Galatina have been on the run since yesterday. They escaped the blitz. From the 900 pages of the order of the investigating judge Carlo Ottone De Marchi signed at the request of the prosecutors Silvia Bonardi and Cecilia Vassena, the strong friendship with Raffaele Imperiale from Castellammare di Stabia, one of the most important drug traffickers in the world in recent years, is clearly evident.
And it is no coincidence that thanks to Imperiale he would also have managed to get to Milan huge loads, such as “617 kilos of hashish from Spain”. He was linked not only by a common passion for art (Imperiale was the instigator of the theft of the two Van Gogh stolen from the museum of Amsterdam and then be found in the parents' villa on the outskirts of Castellammare di Stabia ) but an ancient friendship.
In fact, Deiana had helped Imperiale during his long period as a fugitive. “We lived in the same house. In Kiev the war had been over for three years, it was dangerous, we were armed and had bodyguards”, he writes in a chat in which he says he accompanied Imperiale to the private jet that will then take him to Dubai. With his old friend he would also have managed to get to Milan large loads, such as 617 kilos of hashish from Spain, but imagining that it will grow even further: “Next 1.000 in Rome.”
