Arrows and references on pages hint at coded messages. Passages taken from Book of Revelation. Provenzano continues to copy passages in his cell.

ROME – Bernardo Provenzano’s Bible has been flown to America.FBI specialists will now attempt to decipher the hidden meanings – if there are any – in the underlinings, notes and dozens of tiny scraps of paper that Cosa Nostra’s Godfather inserted into the religious texts that he read, reread and copied in the Montagna dei Cavalli hideout where he was arrested, a stone’s throw from Corleone. It was a habit he probably maintained when he was hiding elsewhere during his more than forty years on the run.

The world’s most famous police office, which is already in close contact with the Italian police central operations service (SCO) regarding Mafia investigations in Sicily and the United States, has a special section at Quantico, Virginia, that analyses and breaks secret criminal codes.Known as the Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit, it is a deciphering office set up to support investigations by analysing messages written in the codes used by street gangs, organised crime, domestic and international terrorists, and foreign secret services.Or at least try to, although it does seem that the unit has made contributions in the past to investigations in America: now it will try with Provenzano.
