Negotiation process, Borsellino divided on the sentence

Opposing, indeed totally opposite, views in the Borsellino family on the appeal sentence of the negotiation between the State and the Mafia. On the one hand, there is Salvatore, the brother of the judge killed in the Via D’Amelio massacre, who after the verdict that totally overturned the first degree sentence, visibly said angry: “Paolo died in vain” and that ” on the altar of that negotiation Paul’s life was sacrificed “. The judge’s younger daughter, Fiammetta Borsellino, has a diametrically opposed opinion, who in an interview with Adnkronos says in a loud voice: “To accelerate my father’s death it was not at all the negotiations but the dossier on the mafia and tenders” and that he spares the criticism of the prosecutors of the first instance, including Nino Di Matteo, today at the CSM, who in his opinion were “incorrect” because they would have “pumped up a process in the media” even before “this process had concluded the trial phases, a misconduct my father would never approve of. ” In short, diametrically opposed opinions on the negotiation process that yesterday saw the first-degree sentence overturned. “I had expressed my doubts about this operation from the beginning – Fiammetta Borsellino told Adnkronos after the appeal sentence – The great bitterness is that these investigative energies dedicated to the negotiation process could be directed towards leads which, according to me, they deliberately did not travel “. But Paolo Borsellino’s brother, Salvatore, has a diametrically opposite view: “I am very embittered – he said in an interview with Adnkronos – Bagarella and Cinà cannot have done the negotiation alone. With the other acquittals it is stated that the fact that State dealing with the anti-state is not a crime and this means that my brother was sacrificed for nothing. State like Paolo Borsellino, who was killed because he opposed this negotiation. This sentence means that in Italy there is no justice “. But Fiammetta does not think the same way. On the contrary. “We followed non-existent leads when we have always reiterated that it was necessary to deepen the atmosphere that my father lived in the Palermo prosecutor’s office”, accuses the magistrate’s daughter. Which adds to the dose: “We had to deepen the vein of doubts and the sense of betrayal that my father expressed when talking to my mother about his colleagues, because we didn’t want to investigate Prosecutor Giammanco. In our opinion these were the tracks on which we had to investigate, not others … “. And on the death of his father and on the hypothesis that the State-Mafia negotiation would have accelerated its end, he says: “For us, the acceleration was given by the Mafia and tenders dossier but my family does not say it – says Fiammetta – says so. the Borsellino ter trial, that the accelerating element was the Mafia and procurement dossier which was filed on July 15, that is a few days before the massacre. Although my father on July 14 had asked for an account and reason why that dossier was not given ample breath. A dossier by Generals Mori and De Donno. This is why this thesis has never convinced me. And I have always expressed doubts. You have to ask yourself questions. I have always had so many doubts “. But Salvatore Borsellino does not give up and adds: “It is the worst hypothesis I could imagine. I am waiting to read the reasons, however the sentence, with the conviction of Bagarella and Cinà, confirms that the negotiation took place, the acquittal of Mori and De Donno means that the negotiation does not constitute a crime. It is the worst hypothesis I could imagine because on the altar of that negotiation the life of Paolo Borsellino was sacrificed. This means that my brother died for nothing “. Fiammetta Purse on one side. Salvatore Borsellino on the other. And in the middle the negotiation sentence to divide them.
