Rumors about the use of the RQ-170 Sentinel drone, nicknamed the “Beast of Kandahar”, in the operation that led to Maduro’s capture
Palermo, January 5 (Adnkronos) – Forty-six years of mystery, forty-six years of silence and misinformation.Nearly half a century has passed since the murder of Sicilian President Piersanti Mattarella, the brother of President Sergio Mattarella, but the name of the killer who shot him at close range, killing him instantly and wounding his wife Irma Chiazzese as he tried to save her husband, remains a mystery.Piersanti Mattarella's constant reminders profoundly changed national and international perceptions of Sicily.He is the president.and those who have a vision for Sicily's future, based on a modern strategy of economic, social and civil development, supported by reforms, but also by policies that enrich the mind and culture and maximize transparency.Mattarella initiated a revolution in Sicily that raised the hopes of all honest Sicilians and brought about a growing consensus throughout the country's political system.But this renewed action, completed shortly before 13:00 on January 6, 1980, was cruelly interrupted by his wife, when Irma, her children Bernardo, Maria and her mother-in-law, were murdered in front of her house via the Freedom Tower on their way back to attend Epiphany Mass.She was murdered in cold blood.The murderer's name has never been known.
For a year now, two mafia bosses, Antonino Madonia and Giuseppe Lucchese, have been under investigation as part of a new investigation into the murder of the president of the Sicily region, Piersanti Mattarella.Both are already serving life sentences.According to the Palermo Public Prosecutor's Office investigation, the shooter at the time was actually Nino Madonia, son of the powerful mafia boss Ciccio, who controlled half of the city.Known.Nino Madonia is part of a historic Palermo mafia family headed by the patriarch Ciccio – dead and already convicted as the instigator of Mattarella's murder – and which includes the suspected brothers: Giuseppe, Salvo, the murderer of Libero Grassi and Aldo, the only one not serving a life sentence.Giuseppe Lucchese was arrested in April 1990, after nine years on the run.Any.He was considered a super-assassin who killed dozens of people during the Second Mafia War, including Francesco Marino Mannoia's sister, mother and aunt.
The prosecution is working on a small fingerprint.The operation is being carried out in the laboratories of the Faculty of Biological, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology of the University of Palermo, where experts treat the discovery with great care.Experts warned of "the need for a very clear methodological approach due to the very weak nature of the investigation," as the statement we sent to the judiciary emphasized the "analytical complexity of the case" and the "delicacy of the case."It's not exactly a fingerprint, but a slide of about three inches, a residue that's hard to explain, even more than four years later, to treat.Before taking any biological sample, the most appropriate method must be determined so that even the smallest traces of DNA are not damaged.The sampling phase should be completed and the results should be awaited.expected in the next few days.
A few months ago the Prosecutor's Office's investigation of Palermo was enriched by a new part.Last October 24, retired President, Filippo Piritore, was arrested.He was the former head of Palermo flight squad.He was accused of stealing in the investigation into the murder of Mattarella.When Palermo's prosecutors heard about the club found on the day of the crime on the Fiat 127 used by the killers, not found or arrested, Piritore said the information was "not very accurate, he took part in the change of investigation (also) to the discovery of Maurizio Club" (not yet recorded by the Maurizio office).
The now-retired official is said to have initially entrusted the glove to an agent of the Scientific Police, who should have handed it over to Pietro Grasso, who was then the deputy public prosecutor in charge of investigating the crime.Grasso then, again according to Peritore's story, arranged for the discovery to be returned to the Regional Scientific Police Office and to Peritore.He then hands it over to another member of the scientific police in Palermo to carry out technical research.
Forty-six years ago, the killer left a brown leather glove under the seat of a Fiat 127 and fled.Even that was considered a fundamental discovery, so that the Minister of the Interior at that time, Virginio Rognoni, discussed it in parliament.For the prosecution, Piritore demonstrated his "persistence in criminal intent" which continued from 1980 to the present, and did nothing but "prevent, obstruct and mislead".As Foreign Minister Matteo Piantedosi commented, the dishonest behavior of public officials was "very painful".Several days ago, the supervisory court rejected Piritore's attorney's request to release Piritore.But for the judge, there were "serious signs of guilt" supported by wiretapping carried out by Dia at the behest of the prosecutor's office headed by Maurizio de Lucia.said."The suspect has perjured himself and is continuing to launch a new investigation into one of the most dramatic and dark pages in this country's history."The mystery continues.(by Elvira Terranova)
