Ilda Boccassini’s book opens a case. Maria Falcone: privacy violated

by admin

The key points

  • The memory dedicated to the judge
  • Maria Falcone: lost any sense of modesty
  • The revelations in the book

«So far I have preferred to avoid comments on a story that has made me very embittered, believing that silence, in the face of such inopportune words, was the most sensible choice. However, when the limit is exceeded and, perhaps paradoxically, with opposite ends, inappropriate comments that end in ridicule are reached, it is, in my opinion, impossible not to reply ». So writes Maria Falcone, sister of Judge Giovanni, in a letter sent to Sicily commenting on a “satirical” intervention by Ottavio Cappellani on Ilda Boccassini’s autobiographical book. Of the many faces that fill his memoir Room number 30. Chronicles of a life (Feltrinelli publisher), one concerns the magistrate symbol of the fight against the mafia, with personal references too.

The memory dedicated to the judge

«I fell in love with it», he writes and retraces the last day spent together, traveling to Linate airport, on May 13, 1992. «I saw a kind of tiny white worm in Giovanni’s hair. I wanted to take it off, but my hand was blocked: I perceived a strange sensation of death that troubled me deeply ». He would see him again ten days later, dead body, in the morgue of Palermo. “I came closer. Unfortunately – we read – at that time there were also three colleagues from Palermo. One of them came towards me, but I pushed him away with an angry gesture: I knew that all three of those colleagues had hindered Giovanni, I felt their presence in that room as an insult to his memory ».

Maria Falcone: lost any sense of modesty

The revelations of an intimate nature have stirred up various controversies to which are added the words of Maria Falcone. “What alarms first of all – he says – is that it seems that any sense of modesty and respect, first of all for one’s feelings (which are claimed to have been authentic), and then for the life and intimate sphere of people who, unfortunately, they are no longer there, they can no longer express themselves on actual or presumed episodes that they are and which – I am sure – would have experienced this violation of the private sphere as a profound offense ».

The revelations in the book

Silvio Berlusconi, a lifelong opponent; the clashes with Gianni De Gennaro, the family sacrificed to follow the investigations; famous colleagues who do not deserve his respect, from Antonio Di Pietro (“unbearable, for me, the scene of Di Pietro kneeling next to the coffin” by Saverio Borelli) to Nicola Gratteri and Antonio Ingroia to the many magistrates who “threw themselves on “champion or champion of the Anti-Mafia”, a profitable trend in terms of career and media visibility »; the CSM, where “arrogance and arrogance” harbor. Even on the Sicilian judiciary, Boccassini’s opinion is tranchant. “If Cosa Nostra in Sicily has been able to live and prosper for decades – he writes – it is also due – not only, of course, but also – to the inertia of a lazy, fearful, in some cases colluding judiciary.” He does not spend good words even for the former prosecutor Antonino Di Matteo, who puts in the vein of the “champions of the Antimafia”, “small fleeting myths, which have dissolved like snow in the sun”. The former magistrate also has some for the prosecutor of Catanzaro, Nicola Gratteri, who “created tension with his continuous boasting of a knowledge of the Ndrangheta phenomenon so in-depth and in his opinion unique as to derive bizarrely (since he was the only one to be convinced) a sense of superiority towards us ».
