Camorra, Ettore Bosti from prison sent messages with a highlighter to his wife

Ettore Bosti , a young Camorra boss, son of Patrizio Bosti, one of the founders of the Secondigliano Alliance, locked up under the 41 bis regime in the Cuneo prison, attempted to send orders to the outside using a cryptic communication system based on colored highlighters.

Intercepted telegram: Magistrates blocked the sending of a telegram to Bosti's wife, arousing suspicion by the extensive use of highlighters to highlight only specific phrases and words.

Cryptic code suspicion: According to the judges, this behavior represented a clear attempt to transmit cryptic messages to his coterie.

Boss's Denial: Bosti denied any criminal intent, claiming he regularly used highlighters and that there was no code involved. He also provided documentation to support his story.

Previously similar: A further letter received from the boss presented similar characteristics, strengthening the magistrates' suspicions.

Confirmation from the Supreme Court: The Supreme Court rejected Bosti 's appeal , confirming the order of the Cuneo surveillance magistrate and the Turin court.
