Borsellino, former lawyer Scarantino deserted the classroom: decisive forced accompaniment

(from the correspondent Elvira Terranova) – The former defender of the false repentant Vincenzo Scarantino does not appear in the courtroom, for the second consecutive time, and the President of the Court, after a brief Council Chamber, arranges the compulsory accompaniment for the next hearing to be held in January. It happened this morning at the trial on the misdirection of the investigation into the Via D’Amelio massacre which sees three policemen, Mario Bo, Michele Ribaudo and Fabrizio Mattei, accused of complicity in slander aggravated by the mafia method. To be cited by the defense of Mario Bo is the lawyer Lucia Falzone, who for a period was the lawyer of the former repentant Scarantino. According to the accusation, the former collaborator of justice was induced, after the Mafia massacres, to accuse the innocent, who were then convicted. With his statements Scarantino misled the first investigations into the via d’Amelio massacre. Lucia Falzone, who is from Caltanissetta, presented a medical certificate to the Court. But the President Francesco D’Arrigo has decided to order the compulsory accompaniment with a fine of 300 euros. The same decision also applies to Arianna Bossi, ex-wife of another false repentant, Francesco Andriotta. Bossi should also have been heard today. The two women must present themselves, as ordered by President D’Arrigo, at the next hearing, which will be held on 12 January 2022, when the trial resumes. In 1995 the former repentant speaking with his lawyer, precisely the lawyer Falcone, who today should have been heard in the trial, said: “I feel made fun of”, without knowing that he was intercepted in his home in San Bartolomeo al Mare , in Liguria. It is January 22, 1995 and Scarantino confided in the lawyer. He felt “made fun of” but “not by the lawyers”, he clarified to the lawyer. For this reason he wanted to go back to prison and “send back the family in Palermo “.” He claims that he is not angry with the magistrates – as the policemen noted in the brogliaccio that was filed with the Caltanissetta Public Prosecutor’s Office as part of the investigation opened by the Messina Public Prosecutor’s Office on two magistrates then filed away – but with someone of Palermo who wants to make him nervous “and who sees” strange things “. And he reiterated that he” knows “to speak sincerely.” The next day, instead of returning to prison and “sending the family back to Palermo”, he testified at the trial for the massacre Scarantino wanted to portray to give his false confession on the eve of the deposition in the courtroom? “I do not regret what I did, on the contrary I had to speak immediately after my arrest”, he said instead on May 4, 1995 talking to his sister-in-law on the phone. The two did not know they were being intercepted. This conversation too had ended up in the brogliaccio filed by the Messina prosecutor to his Nissen colleagues as part of the investigation into the misdirection of the Via D’Amelio massacre. Shortly before, Scarantino’s wife, Rosalia, talking to her sister and the latter said to him: “If Enzo (Scarantino ed) comes back with his choice, it’s better for everyone”. And Rosalia told her that when she hears her husband talking on the phone “she always thinks of bad things”. But when she hands the phone to her husband, Scarantino tells her sister-in-law that he is not at all regretful of his choice. He said he was “worried” about the mother-in-law because the mother “does not touch anyone”. The next hearing will be held on January 12, 2022, at 9.30. Both the lawyer Lucia Falzone and the ex-wife of the ex-penitent Francesco Andriotta will appear in the courtroom, forcibly.
