Brusca, brother Borsellino: “Saying forgiveness is not enough, your collaboration is incomplete”

“It is not enough to say ‘forgiveness’. Repentance must prove it, for example by really telling everything he knows while I am convinced that Brusca’s collaboration is an incomplete collaboration. He has not talked about certain things, he has not said everything he knows. on the deviated state, probably because it is more afraid of the revenge of the Services, perhaps of a ‘heart attack’ like the one that happened to Monster Face, rather than the revenge of the mafia “. Thus Salvatore Borsellino, brother of Judge Paolo killed by Cosa Nostra in the via d’Amelio massacre, comments with Adnkronos on the interview released 5 years ago by the former godfather of San Giuseppe Jato to a French TV. An interview in which Brusca apologizes to the victims’ families and to his family. For Judge Borsellino’s brother, Brusca’s repentance is “instrumental”. “He only told what he needed to have a reduction in his sentence” he underlines and adds: “As a layman I don’t understand what this forgiveness means. their apologies, they are the same people who committed those crimes “. “I see so many jackals, so many hypocrites. An unworthy spectacle that, unfortunately, every year, for one reason or another, always takes place close to the celebrations for the massacres of Capaci and via d’Amelio. I am sickened by the declarations of certain politicians who on the one hand declare themselves upset by Brusca’s release and on the other are preparing to approve a measure to modify the life imprisonment “says Salvatore Borsellino. Yesterday Maria Falcone, sister of Judge Giovanni and president of the Giovanni Falcone Foundation, launched an appeal precisely to politics to “transform the indignation for Brusca’s release into the reform of the law on life imprisonment that the Constitutional Court has already urged”. “It is a law that must be modified – says Borsellino – but it must be modified in the right way, not abolishing what Falcone did”. For the brother of the anti-mafia judge, “collaboration with justice, and I speak of a collaboration that is total, must remain a fixed point. An essential element for the mafia to access the benefits”. And he concludes: “Which mafioso would decide to collaborate if he knows he can leave prison even without ‘speaking’, without betraying that oath to silence made to the Cosa Nostra?”.
