Families of Sicilian Mafia Victims Fear Return of FREED Mobsters
Most of the bosses, released from prison on furlough or for good behaviour, have never disavowed Cosa Nostra How The Mafia CONQUERED Sicily... The Guardian 3 JAN 2025 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/01893...none&crop=none Families of victims killed by the Sicilian mafia have expressed fears that more than 20 senior mobsters released over the last three months may now return to the neighbourhoods they once controlled. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/40301...none&crop=none Nino Morana Agostino, nephew of Nino Agostino. The majority of these bosses, some of whom held leadership roles in the main mafia families of Sicilys capital, Palermo, have never disavowed Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia, and have always refused to cooperate with the judicial authorities. They have been released on furlough or for good behaviour. Salvatore Borsellino, the brother of the legendary anti-mafia judge Paolo Borsellino, who was killed by the Cosa Nostra criminal organisation in 1992, said: The release from prison of mobsters who have always refused to collaborate with justice is always extremely dangerous. Its a fatal blow to the fight against the mafia. Nino Morana Agostino, the nephew of the police officer Nino Agostino, who was shot dead in broad daylight in 1989 along with his wife, Ida, who was five months pregnant, told the newspaper la Repubblica: We cannot afford to lower our guard in the fight against the mafia or to underestimate it. The mafiosi who had been sentenced to life imprisonment and who are now returning to freedom with parole still hold heavy secrets on unsolved mafia murders that they have refused to confess. These mobsters will leave prison to reclaim their power within the clan, said Borsellino. Moreover, they will enjoy even more prestige among mafia members and those who support Cosa Nostra because they can boast of being in prison without ever speaking or naming other clan members. Varese said: Entry into the Sicilian mafia is for life, and it happens through a ritual. At the ritual, the burning image of a saint is put in the hands of the novice and the assembled mafia members declare: You will burn like this image if you betray or try to leave this organisation. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/5e8ae...none&crop=none Matteo Messina Denaro the countrys most wanted mafia boss being escorted out of a Carabinieri police station after he was arrested in Palermo, Italy in 2023 You can leave only with death or expulsion for becoming a state witness (death is indeed the punishment for those who become state witnesses). So it follows that those who come back to the neighbourhoods of Palermo and Trapani will resume their mafia activities Thats why their release sends a bad signal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fteUIeASWJc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOSC6ApvUdk :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: |
