Who was Nino Agostino and why was the policeman looking for fugitives killed

Nino Agostino was an officer serving at the San Lorenzo police station in Palermo and was rumored to be part of a group that collaborated with the secret services to capture mafia fugitives. This is believed to have been the cause of his death, ordered by Cosa Nostra.

The multiple attempts to mislead the investigations came to light thanks to the perseverance of Vincenzo Agostino, the father, and his wife Augusta Schiera. A significant moment in this long and arduous battle for truth was on February 26, 2016, when in the bunker courtroom of the Ucciardone prison there was a dramatic face-to-face confrontation. Vincenzo recognized Giovanni Aiello, a former police officer and alleged killer who operated between the authorities and criminal organizations, as the “monster” faced individual who had come looking for his son in their Carini home days before the murder.

Vincenzo Agostino had told the magistrates that a few days before the murder, two individuals had come looking for his son at their Carini home, claiming to be colleagues. One of them had a pockmarked, monstrous face. “Unforgettable,” indeed.
