“It is news that I certainly do not like. It is an offense to the people who died in that massacre. In my opinion they should have thrown away the keys.” These are the first words with which Giuseppe Costanza, the judge’s driver Giovanni Falcone escaped from the Capaci massacre, he comments on the release of the former boss for the end of his sentence Giovanni Brusca.
Costanza then added: “29 years have passed since that day, but neither Falcone, nor his wife, nor the boys in the escort will ever be able to come back to life. What country is ours? no longer get out of jail “.
The reaction of also lasts Tina Montinaro, the widow of Antonio Montinaro, the foreman of Giovanni Falcone: “I am indignant, I am truly indignant. The state is rowing against us – she said during an interview with theberaking latest news – We still don’t know the truth about the massacres after 29 years and Giovanni Brusca, the man who destroyed my family, is free. This state is rowing against us. What am I going to tell my grandson now? That the man who killed his grandfather runs freely? … “And then:” The whole of Italy should be indignant and not just me who lost my husband, but it doesn’t happen. These people only come to commemorate Falcone on 23 May and remember ‘Giovanni e Paolo’. But no one is indignant “.
While Maria Falcone, sister of Judge Falcone, after the news of Brusca’s release, wanted to underline how “humanly it is news that pains me, but this is the law, a law that my brother also wanted and therefore must be respected. I just hope that the judiciary and the police are to watch very carefully in order to avert the danger of committing a crime again, given that we are talking about a subject who has had a very tortuous path of collaboration with justice “. Concluding: “Any other comment seems to me completely inappropriate”.
This is instead the comment of the leader of the League Matteo Salvini: “Author of the Capaci massacre, murderer among others of the little Giuseppe Di Matteo, dissolved in acid because he was the son of a repentant. After 25 years in prison, the mafia boss Giovanni Brusca returns free. This is not the justice that Italians deserve “.
Per Rita Dalla Chiesa “The release of Giovanni Brusca is a shame of the state. I am shocked by what happened. I did not expect yet another shame of justice in Italy”.
And the words of the mayor of Rome also arrive Virginia Raggi who in a tweet writes: “Abrupt free? I don’t want to believe it. It is an unacceptable shame, an injustice for the whole country. Always on the side of the victims and of those who fight and have fought against the Mafia”.
