Aufsehenerregende Verbrechen machten in den 90er Jahren eines schlagartig klar: die sizilianische Cosa Nostra hat sich in der Metropolregion Mannheim eingenistet. Aber wie aktiv ist die italienische Mafia heute noch in der Kurpfalz und was hat ein ungeklärter Doppelmord damit zu tun? Die Mafia ist in Baden-Württemberg. Das hat uns der SWR-Roadcast mit der "unglaublichen Geschichte des schwäbischen Pizzawirts Mario L." vor Augen geführt. Doch Mafia ist nicht gleich Mafia. Im Raum Stuttgart hat sich die Ndrangheta aus Kalabrien niedergelassen. Stefan Orner und Helena Piontek stellen sich die Frage: Spielt womöglich auch die berühmt-berüchtigte sizilianische Cosa Nostra in Baden-Württemberg eine Rolle? Spuren aus der Vergangenheit führen die Beiden in die zweitgrößte Stadt Baden-Württembergs: nach Mannheim. Sie finden heraus, dass sich dort nicht nur spektakuläre Festnahmen, blutige Morde und aufwendige Ermittlungen abgespielt hatten; sie erfahren auch, dass ein Teil der italienischen Community Mannheims aus einer bestimmten Kleinstadt auf Sizilien stammt: Palma di Montechiaro. Die Verbindung zwischen beiden Orten ist eng. So eng, dass Ermittler:innen irgendwann von der "Route des Todes" zwischen Mannheim und Palma sprechen, weil es in beiden Orten Morde gibt, deren Spuren jeweils in die andere Stadt führen. Gibt es diese Route immer noch? Wie aktiv ist die Cosa Nostra in Baden-Württemberg und wie sehen ihre Geschäfte aus? Was weiß man in Sizilien über "die deutsche Spur", die schon Star-Ermittler Paolo Borsellino und Giovanni Falcone kurz vor ihrer Ermordung nach Mannheim führte? Antworten gibt die zweite Staffel von MAFIA LAND. Die True Crime Doku MAFIA LAND ist ein Podcast des SWR. Alle Folgen gibt es in der ARD Audiothek (https://1.ard.de/mafia-land) und überall, wo es gute Podcasts gibt.
