In 1999, Fazzalari was put on trial in absentia and received a life sentence for his role in the Taurianova feud. In January 2004, the Carabinieri found the hide-out of Fazzalari, an underground bunker under a farmhouse near Taurianova with a tunnel that ended in the woods. Fazzalari was not found, but his two assistants were arrested. In the "five star" bunker police found exquisite wines and champagne, as well as Cuban cigars.
