Yesterday, just to good start to the year, I received a message on the phone that said that Joseph Gravano, the Mafia boss murderess, was lifted on 41a.
For those not familiar, Joseph Grave is a boss of a certain thickness, in the words of Gaspare Spatuzza repentant, concluded the business or negotiations with Marcello Dell'Utri (PDL senator convicted in first instance to nine years for aiding and abetting) and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Graviano Philip, brother of the boss, denied the words of Spatuzza, while Joseph made use of the right to remain silent. Now they took the daytime isolation and I, maybe because I'm starting to really understand how things work in this country, I think this is not only unfair, but I see even obscure links ...
publishing the article by Monica Centofante site http://www.19luglio1992.it/ :
The request goes back to last September, but was granted only in recent days, in singular harmony with the Christmas spirit : stragista boss Giuseppe Graviano, held to 41 bis, she received the gift of isolation withdrawal day.
Determined by the Court of Assizes of Appeal of Palermo after legal action brought by the boss, Gary Jacob, following notification of a new period of detention related to this passage in special courts of two life sentences inflicted in the process of "Storm" and "for the massacres of '92." The judges, in short, they determined that the crimes committed during the period preceding the arrest was the ultimate in day to be fixed in three years, and that these three years have been already discounted in the course of sixteen spent in jail.
Now the boss of Brancaccio is then returned to the "common life". And inside the prison in Milan, Opera, where he is imprisoned, he can "socialize" with the detainees not convicted of mafia, spend time with air and dine with friends.
A relaxation that will partly quieted the restless mind of the boss, that only two weeks earlier, on national, complained about a state of poor health due to restrictions on their prison. And curiously, as in most classic traditions of Christmas, he entrusted a letter to his demands.
The occasion will be remembered, was the Dec. 11 hearing at the trial of Senator Marcello Dell'Utri, where strong, with his brother Philip, had been called to confirm or deny the statements of regret Gaspare Spatuzza. Which covers the years of bloodshed had told of a "negotiation" between the current boss of Brancaccio and pieces of the institutions identified by the same Joseph Graviano in Silvio Berlusconi and "Our village" Marcello Dell'Utri.
The negotiations, he explained, would be continued in subsequent years and at least until 2004, when inside the prison of Tolmezzo Graviano Philip had told him: "We must say to my brother Joseph that if you do not get anything from where to get it is good that we begin to deal with the judges. "
The project, however, had been temporarily shelved when Senator Dell'Utri, sentenced at first instance in Palermo for collusion with the Mafia, the Corriere della Sera had said that despite his legal problems "would continue until the end commitments to the electorate. " A statement that in that world of codes and messages that Cosa Nostra was played as a reassurance: Dell'Utri, told magistrates Spatuzza, usually is not a figure of the "front line, but marginal," so that I'm reading that article and I know everyone is behind, so to 'I'm the point, with that item you're paying me. " In the course of the anomalous
hearing on 11 December, followed by the equally anomalous against the brothers Graviano those statements had not clearly confirmed. But their attitude "affectionate" towards the penitent was not gone unnoticed: no accusations of infamy, not taken away, but much respect for the choice of the "child" to switch on the side of Justice. And that line spoken by Philip gravity, while denying the specific facts narrated by Spatuzza in reference to the interview in the prison of Tolmezzo had said: "I do not say you're lying."
For that same hearing, at which the accused was present Dell'Utri, Giuseppe Graviano had prepared a letter which listed his frail health due to the "16 years in prison to 41a" and "more than 10 of isolation. " And a message to the wise is: "It will be my duty when my health allows it to inform the Illustrious Court of Appeals to answer any questions that I will be asked. "
Maybe someone has picked up that message and the gift of Christmas could be the first answer.
