“Paolo Borsellino recently only dealt with ‘mafia-procurement’, why the archiving? Wasn’t it better to continue developing the investigations? A dossier that we would have liked to carry forward”: thus Carabinieri General Mario Mori, who, together to the colonel of the Carabinieri of the ROS Giuseppe De Donno he wrote the volume entitled “The truth about the mafia-procurement dossier – Stories, contents, opposition to the investigation that could have changed Italy'” presented by the two at the Isola del libro cultural event Trasimeno.
“We published this book – said Mori – after having reached what we believed to be the end of our judicial affair, that is, the acquittal for the trial on the State-mafia negotiation. Definitive acquittal which we thought would put an end to every other problem of a judicial and criminal nature It is the story of our Palermo affair, of our relationships with some magistrates, for better, such as Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino and for worse, such as Pietro Giammanco and others of the Palermo Prosecutor’s Office indicated as the cause of Paolo Borsellino’s death his interest in ‘mafia-procurement’ and therefore I think we have a good reason to talk about this and identify it as one of the causes of our problems in Sicily but, above all, of the death of the magistrate that we would have liked to carry forward, why archive it?”.
“It is a book that tells a long story, which goes from 1989 to ’93 and which we decided to tell because probably, as the Court of Assizes of Caltanissetta says, this dossier is at the basis of the Via D’Amelio massacre” he said De Donno.
“We felt – he added – it was important to tell it without cuts or omissions to give a small contribution to the evaluation of what happened in those 57 days in Palermo”.
