(ANSA) – PALERMO, APRIL 12 – “Spreading the knowledge of the action to combat the mafias is part of the most authentic way of remembering the name of Pio La Torre. In these 40 years the code of anti-mafia laws regulating prevention measures tried to seize all the spaces that can be occupied by crime: thanks to the legality protocols and the “White list”, for example, it was possible to extend the anti-mafia legislation also to subjects who were not initially included “. With these words, the prefect of Palermo, Giuseppe Forlani, opened the conference organized by the Pio La Torre Center and the University of Palermo on “Forty years of anti-mafia legislation, from the Rognoni-La Torre law to today at Palazzo Chiaramonte Steri “.
After the greetings of the rector, Massimo Midiri, many interventions by national and international speakers who took stock of the anti-mafia action: from professor Vincenzo Militello, of Unipa, to professor Alberto Vannucci of the University of Pisa, from Antonio La Spina, of the Luiss ‘Guido Carli’ University of Rome to Federico Varese, University of Oxford, and Franco Garufi, vice president of the Pio La Torre study center who moderated the meeting. Among the video interventions, that of the president, Vito Lo Monaco.
“When the Rognoni law was approved – La Torre, the country was hit in the heart, producing legislation that does not seem written 40 years ago – said the president of the court of Palermo, Antonio Balsamo – The hope is that achieved in that period a great synergy between the government, the judiciary and civil society in the fight against the mafias, today, with a pandemic and an ongoing conflict, the same can be done to realize the dream of people like Pio La Torre “.
“The institute of criminal sciences ‘Giovanni Falcone’ was born in Brazil in San Paolo in 1993, immediately after the massacres, and has always underlined the importance of the deputy Pio La Torre, one of the martyrs in the fight against mafia crime”. (HANDLE).
