The appeals court of Caltanissetta has gone into closed session to decide on the trial regarding the obstruction of the investigation into the massacre of via D’Amelio, which cost the lives of judge Paolo Borsellino and five police officers. Three police officers from the team investigating the 1992 mafia attacks are accused of calumny, aggravated by having favored Cosa Nostra: Mario Bo, Fabrizio Mattei, and Michele Ribaudo. The prosecution has requested sentences of 11 years and 10 months for Bo, and 9 years and 6 months for Mattei and Ribaudo. The prosecution alleges that, under the direction of the former head of the Mobile Unit in Palermo, Arnaldo La Barbera, the police officers fabricated a false truth in the investigation and coerced Vincenzo Scarantino to provide a false account of the attack’s preparation phase, implicating mafiosi who were not involved in the bombing. The prosecutor general Fabio D’Anna described it as a betrayal by the State apparatus that cannot be forgiven.
