Negotiations-mafia state, and Ciampi dumb Scalfaro The two former presidents pm

Stefano Zurlo

The withdrawal of the harsh prison bosses wanted by the Minister of Conso justice after the massacres of '93 at the center of the investigation by the prosecution to Palermo. When asked by the magistrates the two former presidents have remained unclear. Ciampi: "I do not remember." Scalfaro safer: "We never heard anything"

not remember. Or maybe they do not know. They never knew. Shrunken and stammering responses. Two presidents, only silence. What seals the open crater in the November '93 by the then Keeper of Giovanni Conso incredibly justice minister not to extend the 41 bis for about three hundred mafiosi. An inexplicable gesture in a dramatic moment in the fight against Cosa Nostra, an emergency, and after months of terrible bomb landmarks. The state is bent, even bowed to bloody hands of the bosses, but Oscar Luigi Scalfaro and Carlo Azeglio Ciampi not know. Perhaps, they never knew. Today, however, can not remember. Also because the facts emerge in a long time. And the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the enigmatic Conso today to record the humanitarian solution, "I thought in good faith that, given the carnage that had recently occurred, it was more appropriate, so as not to exacerbate the tension even more, not to force the detainees and give the signs of détente. "

A black hole, zero titles. Scalfaro immediately puts her hands on: "I hasten to add that, in general, and when I was minister after holding the post of President of the Republic, I was never made aware I had otherwise no news whatsoever about the alleged negotiations between the state and organized crime. " Possible? "I had frequent interlocutors - Scalfaro continued - with the Prefect Vincenzo Parisi, then chief of police, for institutional reasons an officer who was deeply esteemed for his professionalism. I can say with absolute certainty that nothing he told me, during the long period in which we have had reports about a possible deal between the state and mafia, or about 41 bis and possible connections with the application of that prison regime and the episodes of stragista ' 93. And the failure to extend the prison term to three hundred mafia? "Never heard of him again," is the laconic reply. But Scalfaro, who is a politician with one of the fathers of the Republic, has its own interpretation: "Today, having recently learned the news by the press, I can only assume, without having any knowledge about it, the decision has been Conso taken by the Minister for reasons of humanity against of detainees. " Scalfaro reflects a moment, then reinforces the feel-good track, "The minister Conso has always been a person of great human sensitivity and may for that reason, cones consulting his colleagues, has taken that decision."

is December 15, 2010 when Scalfaro and Ciampi will be heard by prosecutors in Palermo who seek confirmation of their inquiry into the difficult negotiations between Cosa Nostra and the State. Negotiations that would pass through the demands of Papello: and among them was the abolition of its 41a. The depositions of the two presidents emeriti emerge between 1850 unpublished pages filed the case against General Mario Mori Ros and Colonel Mauro Obinu, accused of aiding and abetting the Mafia.

Scalfaro not know. Ciampi does not remember. The first is granite, the second gradient, the result is the same. Ciampi: "I have no recollection about possible problems and differences of opinion within the government headed by me concerning the application of the so-called 41 bis. I can say with absolute certainty that the government line in this direction was extremely hard. I do not recall that there were ministers who had different opinions on the subject of combating organized crime. "

Okay, but then as we came to the staggering retreat? Mystery. "I was warned before or after the missed extension - adds Ciampi - I do not even give an explanation for the conduct of the Minister for Consular, by the non-renewal of such decrees, was certainly in sharp contrast with the guidelines of the government headed by me in terms of fighting the mafia. "

goes round and round you go back to Conso, another icon of the state, whose statements were also filed in Palermo. And Conso assumes full responsibility for the reverse: "It was appropriate to give the signs of détente."
