Appeals for the Spartacus process. A conviction will be a blow to the heart to the clan Francesco Schiavone remain two possibilities: to die in prison or repent
The trial of the owners of the judgments on GomorraDomani Casalesi
by Roberto Saviano
SPARTACUS is the name of the process that will come tomorrow or the day after all 'Beginning of the End. It will close the first part, we will read the first sentences of the second degree. 31 defendants, sixteen of which were asked for life imprisonment, the mafia trial more important in the last twenty years. Spartacus: the name was not chosen at random. It is a tribute to Spartacus, the Thracian gladiator who rebelled in 73 BC against Rome. Starting from the gladiator school in Capua with a handful of men, I was able to pick up slaves, freedmen, gladiators from all over the south. That process is called a rebel, a slave of outlaws who defied Rome - the cradle of the law - is something unique in the history of justice. This process was called Spartacus with the idea that the law could leave this land enslaved by the power of the clans and criminal entrepreneurship. With a dream that one process could trigger the lifting of a territory, believing that the real revolution here is the ability to take legal action: no subterfuge, alliances, recommendations, contracts and businesses dopate loaded from the illegal market. Spartacus is the result of a massive survey conducted from 1993 to 1998 from the Naples anti-Mafia prosecutor, that the prosecutor Federico Cafiero De Raho, Lucio Di Pietro, Francesco Greek, Carlo Visconti, Francesco Curcio and then Raffaele Cantone, Ardituro Antonello, Marco Del Gaudio Falcone and Raphael. And while much of Italy and Europe continue to think that you are celebrating a trial against a criminal gang, yet another southern Italy, in fact, the trial papers, hearings, the defendants in more than a thousand crates, talk of enormous power that is considered one of the vanguards of the economy of this country. In one of the most significant steps in the process Spartacus heads a clear reading of the economic control of the territory: PM: Listen, and when you gave notice that there were jobs, what you were doing? HEADS: The first thing we did was to know the name of which was to carry out the work. Then clearly this person was called, ended the work and the money that was to give the organization more and said where to go in the area to take the concrete ...
money to work in the area and then cement to build businesses, subcontracting. Here is their empire. Lello Magi is the judge who prepared the grounds of the First Instance of the process Spartacus. In its cards are big business, the names of the companies - the Bitumen Concrete, General Beton, Concrete Annunziata. Major public investments have been made by enterprises in the clan of the camorra. And all is clear in this process. From the construction of many roads as the Nola-Villa Literno, connection with, the highway A1 Rome-Naples, and even the prison at Santa Maria Capua Vetere. The Casalesi built the jail with their businesses. Prison that was later raised above their affiliates. When the special commissioner of the Government began planning the execution artery from Rome to Naples, the initial cost is seventy billion dollars. The actual cost, after five years of work, will be two hundred and forty billion. Companies that have outsourced work to quest'arteria clan Casalesi and businesses who are not working to pay a bribe to the clan. So with this mechanism of drainage of public money and the mechanism of extortion, their builders, their hotels, their transport companies become the best in Italy and their brokers invest in and build around the world. In only two cases against Schiavone family assets were seized in August 1996 for 450 billion lire and a year later, in August 1997, some 515 billion. Those 500 million euro today seized two summers in one of the clans that make up the cartel of Casale, a figure that would have brought to its knees any business group. Instead, and with them the Casalesi Schiavone continued to prosper. The estimate made by the DDA in Naples is about a current turnover of around EUR 30 billion. No more million €, but billions. A group that has managed to infiltrate everywhere. Investing in real estate in Parma and building in central Milan. Dump toxic waste came from all over northern Italy, as is clear from the first investigation in 1992 led him to discover - through investigation of the prosecutor Franco Roberti - who finished in the toxic waste left from Caserta Thiene, Vicenza, until those of 2008 on the illegal spillage of eight thousand tons of sludge acne Cengio, near Savona, and process waste Polyester. And the alliance with the Cirio and Parmalat, the distribution largely controlled by the clan of the old South that guaranteed a monopoly on food businesses in return for "extortion." But these events are just the side Spartacus. This process refers to events ranging from the death of the chief town of Casale, Antonio Bardellino in 1988 until 1996. It took nearly ten years to establish those facts, and to close the first stage of the process in 2005. The day of the sentence then remember what is happening again at this time. About two hundred policemen and policemen. Bomb dogs, snipers, flying helicopters. A process that has seen overall in this and other parallel proceedings 1,300 suspects, starting with the declaration of Carmine Schiavone. Seicentoventisei total hearings, heard 508 witnesses, more than 24 collaborators of justice, of which six defendants. 90 folders of documents acquired. An investigation by the parent that raised tens of parallel processes: murder, procurement, drugs, cheating the state. They were born in the late 90 ', 2 and Regi Lagni Spartacus, the investigation on the work of recovery of Bourbon channels that allowed the clan for years - allegedly - to use their billion dollar contracts to rearrange the channels but does not displace billion lire to their construction companies that, from then on, they would become successful in Italy. And then the process Aima, the scams that the clan had Casalesi done in the center of famous "scamazzo", that is where the European Community gathered the fruit produced in excess in exchange for giving compensation to the farmers. In large holes where it was thrown to the garbage instead of throwing fruit clans, iron, scraps of construction work. But before all the crap if you made her weigh: collecting money for compensation and continuing to sell wherever the fruits of their plots. Then, for the first time they were seized as assets of the Camorra, also two football clubs: the Albanova and Casal di Principe. This was the first trial: the 21 life sentences, more than 750 years in prison inflicted. Even the trial papers to be submitted to the judges of appeal, the 550 box files containing the proceedings of the proceedings in November 2006, they needed an armored truck and escorted by police to bring the documents to Santa Maria Capua Vetere in Naples. All this had happened in the substantial indifference of national and international media. For this second degree will not. The names of the bosses, their companies, the names of their crimes will not go only in the local press, the ink will not only life in the court documents. Will be known, will be announced, will not only steps on the continuous roll and indifferent information. In fact, the need for the attention, their absolute loathing of falling under the national spotlight has been proof and evidence yesterday in the words of the head of the clan Francis Schiavone Sandokan. During the last hearing, he asked to not attend because they "are not fair in a cage." He knows that when the show takes off the face of the head, you lose at least half the attractiveness of the media and thus the effectiveness of communication. The clan is afraid. He is afraid because the Casalesi convictions have never had, because they feel like the nonsense being convicted of acts committed decades earlier, when it is launched their careers to other logics, other markets. Besides their historical leaders have never died in prison, but still free and away from the territory: Antonio Bardellino in Brazil, Mario Iovine in Portugal. They do not want to end their days in prison. Schiavone was made famous, too famous, received his nickname when as a young man because of his resemblance to actor Kabir Bedi Sandokan was called exactly. And he knows the media will manage all too well. Came despite the 41 bis regime prevented him from communicating with the outside world, to write a letter to a local newspaper showed his men who buy newspapers, maintain that line, such positions have, remarking: "I am happy to serve in prison all my convictions.'m not one who eats human flesh. " And they stress that would not have repented. But these words are too many years ago. With the condemnation of the clan tomorrow Schiavone will be on its knees. And he, Sandokan, will always be alone anymore. The head. The man who according to the ruling of first instance has organized a determined and intelligent approach to his rise to power. Until now, the clan has met his sons, the orders of his wife Maria Pia Nappa, companion of a life that he believes that it has always honored, placing itself in the role of the father upright and faithful husband. But oddly enough in the process there are two American women, Kathrin Houston and Cristina Emico, non-commissioned officers of NATO, have become lovers of Sandokan: The first sentenced to one year and a half for having provided the boss 3 357 Magnum handguns. If tomorrow they will reach the life sentences, no more will be released from prison. And the head, the man who has tried everything to get out of prison, he wrote letters to the President of the Republic to seek pardon, he tried to pass himself off as crazy with psychiatric speaking of strange ghosts that came to see him at night in the cell, Francesco Schiavone Sandokan will not regret it. Sing Affairs and affiliates; reveal the names of his allies in the mechanisms of politics and business, in publishing its salaried. Just what will be the tool to be walled up alive. The other end is in jail Francesco Bidognetti, called "Lard 'and midnight" boss of the waste sector, a man of racketeering and cement markets. Although he has no hope beyond repentance. He can not do anything else but want to end his days in jail and see her family torn apart, as it is already happening since his wife Anna Carrino has repented. He hesitates for a long time. It seems to work permanently. And if the two leaders were in prison to repent, then the whole story of the Camorra Casale could really be a point of Christs total and radical change. A process like this, which lasted years, not just a form of justice it is much more. It is also a cultural journey, a revival of the law, a time when you have settled the forces and energies of a territory. The closure of this process is a signal, a possibility of a new springtime of the Italian Mezzogiorno. We must not turn off the attention, follow the court case to the Supreme Court and then follow above the other branches of the Spartacus trial concerning relations with politics, relationships with legitimate businesses. Branches of the process that if nothing is likely to see crime drop in prescription. Now that is closing the process - long fragment of the history of this land, criminal and human archeology that emerges from the papers and confessions - I can think of the faces of those who have been killed for giving strength to the power of the clan. And then they were forgotten, neglected, often not even mentioned. Finished plates on the roads or remembered only in the hearts of family and friends. The names of the dead in this war declared and never really ever fought, never give armistice. Salvatore Speech: a policeman killed in 1982 to twenty years, punished because she had participated in the arrest of a relative of the boss Sandokan. And then Franco Imposimato, in 1983, killed his brother because of the judge Imposimato but also because militant ecologist. Alberto Varone distributing newspapers in 1991, and had a furniture factory that was coveted by the clan of his country that he wanted to branch out in every sector. And of course Don Peppino Diana was killed in 1996 for his paper "For the sake of my people be not silent." Then Federico Del Prete, who was killed in 2002, a trade union organized a lone anti-racket of street vendors. Up to Domenico Noviello, who was killed just over a month ago to a complaint made seven years earlier. And then the wounded, the humiliated, the threat: the delegate CGIL Michele Russo shot in the legs for threatening to bring down construction workers on strike; Antonio Cangiano shot in the back for a contract does not give the clan: Renato Christmas which spilled pounds of buffalo shit out of the house to show that the clan would have drowned if continued to make the mayor of the town. Pending the ruling, they must be thinking that the right can really become as it was the dream of Spartacus. May be able to restore law: right to life and free decision of each individual. And hope that this dream does not end up like Spartacus ended executed along the Appian Way, the street where now instead of the crosses of the rebels are ironically most of the shops of the men of the Casalesi clan. We would like that this process is not just a dream but a real opportunity to be levied to bring out the best of this land that can no longer governs the rotten. And also hope that this time would come to Rome. Hoping not to forget, hoping to change. It comes to mind a verse of Isaiah, chapter 21, verses 11 and 12, when he says "but I Shomer-llailah, but I-Lell" or "Watchman, what of the night?" The prophet who saw fire and flames, this verse gives way to hope. "The night is passing but the dawn has not arrived yet." This is the answer.
