"The thought of death accompanies me everywhere. But, as Montaigne, It soon becomes second nature. Certain, you're on your toes, It is estimated, We observe, There is organized, you avoid repetitive behaviour, is getting away from the crowds and from any situation that cannot be kept under control. But it also buys a good dose of fatalism; at the bottom you die for many reasons, a car accident, a plane explodes in flight, an overdose, cancer and also for no particular reason».

Giovanni Falcone responds in this way to a question about the possibility of an attack against him. As always, in front of the cameras, the judge retains an attitude compounded, a smile politely, not exuding any emotion. Are the years of the maxi trial, difficult years for Giovanni Falcone. The landmark ruling, more than two thousand years in jail for the defendants and nineteen life sentences throughout the Sicilian Mafia Commission, instead of elevating heroes Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino isolated them even more. In 1988 the High Council of the judiciary States that will be Mahesh Mahesh and not Falcone, to replace Calvert. Giovanni is once again rejected, as was the case at the beginning of the eighties, After the death of Rocco Chinnici, He preferred Calvert. Meli the curtain falls on the experience of the pool and returns to the old unsuccessful mafia investigation methods. Borsellino publicly denounces the State of things, Conversely receives the meeting request from C.S. M. alongside Meli. The pool, Although limping, He was put back on feet. This is not helped break the isolation of man more danger for the mafia, for one who has devoted his life to fighting for the State. In 1989 the failed assassination attempt at Addaura represents the pinnacle of the sense of isolation around the figure of Falcone: not just part of the power of Attorney, the same colleagues and the State does not show solidarity with judge, but he is alleged to have procured alone, the attack. It's the beginning of the end, Falcone takes a job in Rome at the Ministry of Justice, Criminal Affairs section. Falcone in Rome are building a super proxy capable of channeling, centralize and optimize the investigations of the mafia. Unfortunately, however, the 23 may the mafia (or not only the mafia, but it was mafia – CIT. Paolo Borsellino, speech at the public library of Palermo, June 1992) He ended the life of John, Francesca, Rocco, Antonio, Vito.

The man who dreamed of defeating the mafia by applying the law died, because that dream I was making. So who cares that Falcone was sleeping only, on the floor, with a gun for fear of an attack at night, He received several warnings that threats, who said that to be credible we must be dead.

The reporter writes down the answers of Falcone, brief and concise, betrayed only by the movement of the mustache. One more question, the last "have you ever had a moment of discouragement, any questions about, the temptation to give up this fight?”

"No, never "Giovanni Falcone.

Salvatore Riina declares war

toto_riina1

 

And’ Sadly obvious that, during the centuries-old struggle between the State and the mafia now, COSA nostra has always won because her rival has never been able to look beyond their nose or, even more daunting, didn't want to do it: just like in these days of popular uprising against the television program Porta a Porta, guilty of having invited to study the third child of Salvatore Riina. Once again the old lion caged, for a quarter of a century, attracted attention to himself. Trying to get past the emotion of anger (justified) against the initiative of WaSP, It would be interesting to focus on why this book was written by Ragsdale jr. We make order. No one in the family Riina would have taken the initiative, let alone the responsibility, to write a book that refers to the head of Cosa nostra without the endorsement of the latter, Toto Riina. According to the "rules" of mafia boss, Although in prison, is always the Riina. In recent times it is happening a new fact: in prison, during the hour of fresh air, Ragsdale speaks with his cellmate, vindicating massacres and execute mode, real and alleged. The man who made of silence and silence one of the pillars of their lives, It is now a raging river: the stories follow one another so incessant. Especially, Riina sort, without success, the death of the judge s involved in conducting the process Negotiation State-mafia. But his orders remain in vain, Fortunately. And’ a Ragsdale disoriented that in prison, that no longer recognizes his Cosa nostra, that of the years ' 80 and ' 90, one that when it was decided an ambush “It was out of, without thinking more″ (CIT. S. Riina), that organization who could be scary to the State and that, in some ways, the commanding and forced him to come to terms. Today, the mafia, outside, has changed., is undergoing reorganization: the fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro, He who with a grand gesture should take over the reins of the Organization, It looks good from doing sensational attacks for fear of a genuine State action directed to his capture (for example, the capture of Riina after massacres 1992 Capaci and via d'amelio, following the popular uprising that invoked, claimed and yelled the task of capturing the massacres, that was in January 1993). The mafia is trying to regroup by spreading from below, the so-called mandates, from the stump hard which has always guaranteed in history people loyal and heinous "soldiers": However, Thanks to the courageous action of palermitani magistrates, This reconstruction is regularly cleared, making ever more scorched earth around Messina Denaro. Yet. La Cosa nostra in the new Millennium, on the set he had given Bernardo Provenzano in late 1990s, is an organization that talking about the economy, Finance, investments, joint-stock company, forgetting the language "Riiniano" of bombs, Mitra, massacres, blood, dead. The first is a setting that allows criminals to operate in silence, While the second has always caused a strong media focus as a result of massacres that have become historical now. All this cannot be accepted by the capo dei capi, which not only no longer recognizes the "organization", but neither the company: in the years ' 80 and ' 90, precisely, to the anger of the days immediately following to crimes, for example in Capaci and via d'amelio, It made almost never followed an action lasting popular protest. Today, Thanks to the numerous organizations throughout the area, Italian and the goodwill of many citizens, all inspired by the teachings of Falcone and Borsellino, the company took to the streets as at the time, but not only, It poses itself as a guarantor, as a shield against judges, of magistrates, of law enforcement officials, of officers. And’ a company that, in some ways, replaces the status on the request and claim to a total and permanent elimination of the mafia, though unfortunately does not have, as the State, the means to perpetrate such action. The game then continues its course. Despite his age, the harsh prison, the weight of the anonymity of many years, Salvatore Riina has lost the will to fight and take back what he claims: his role as head of the Organization: However, the boss is aware that, If it can't be him, This role can and should move on to someone you trust, given that even those off the following more. Then from prison Salvatore Riina thinks, While the State, as sang De Andrè, “…you are, You unworthy, undertakes, then throws in the towel with great dignity. "
