But we see a little better who is Renato Schifani ...
The individual in question is a lawyer Cassation, already a member of the Christian Democrats, joined the Berlusconi's political movement and was elected in 1996 and 2001 (when it was possible to express their preference on the ballot) to the Senate for College Alton-single name of Corleone, his experience as city councilor in Palermo Italy Force.
E 'was also later re-elected senator in the last two elections (2006 and 2008) in the district of Sicily.
Up to here everything normal ... But if one inquires into the past of Sicilian politician you will find several links with people not really recommended:
In 1979 he established the "Sicilian Brokers, one of the founders as well as an insurance company's North Renato Schifani, Enrico La Loggia (PDL) elements as well as Benny D'Agostino, Giuseppe Lombardo and Nino Mandalà.
Benny D'Agostino is a businessman convicted of collusion with the Mafia and that in Andreotti trial told of a trip to Ferrari from Naples to Rome with the "pope" of the Greek Mafia Michele.
Lombardo was director of a company instead of the Salvo cousins \u200b\u200bfrom Falcone arrested on charges of being the cashier of the Cosa Nostra mafia bosses and sentenced as a family of Salem.
The third character should deepen the discussion. Nino Mandala is currently on trial in Palermo for Mafia.Amico staff Simone Castello, Colonel Bernardo Provenzano, was intercepted by the Police while talking on the phone with its castle and told him of his stormy meeting with La Loggia complaining of not receiving a Solidarity call after son's arrest murder of the mafia. And so he told
have closed his interview with La Loggia: "Since I was mafia and mafia your father that I remember when I went with him to look for votes from Malta Turiddu who was the boss of Vallelunga. I can always say that your father was a mobster. In the same conversation intercepted
Mandalà Schifani spoke of in these terms: "He was experienced at 54 million a year, here in the town of Villabate, that I sent him The Senator Lodge."
Schifani was heard by the public prosecutor and, without false modesty, he said with his talent and salary advice, "My study is one of the most reliable in the field of urban planning in Sicily." But for The Lodge underneath there was a recommendation: "I talked with Schifani Gianfranco Micciche (coordinator of Forza Italy in Sicily) and I said, is wasting a lot of time and then will of the revenue lost by politics. Living tell him of the legal profession if it were possible to find him help. It is a way to say thank you. And then we talked to the mayor Shuttle. " The mayor is the grandson of Mandalà Shuttle and its common was wound up by the mafia in 1998. Other companies
unclear Schifani of the GMS was established in 1992 with Meng and Garofalo was arrested in 1997 and then indicted for criminal association and wear.
Schifani was unlucky in the choice of his clients as well as its business partners ...
Just one of his former client has made its name in court. The scene is this: The Innocent Sicco, a Mafia-repentant, 26 January 2000 entered in handcuffs in the courtroom in Palermo and is questioned on the issue of building a well-known in the city, the Piazza Leoni. His words are flashed great suspicion: "The lawyer Schifani once said to me, his client, who had done a lot and was able to save the Palace Square lions during the amnesty in letting it into the Berlusconi government because, he said, made an amnesty and he was able to brush it on the need for those buildings. He was satisfied. Why do you say to me? But because I had made aware of what the situation was, the process, arrangements for the granting of the concession ...».
Pietro Lo Sicco, contractor financed by the Mafia and uncle, Innocent, sets his sights on a plot close to the Favorita Park, one of the most appreciated of Palermo. Lo Sicco wants to build an eleven-story building but first we must remove two low houses belonging to two sisters, sardines, and Maria Rosa Pilliu Savina, who do not want to sell off. Pietro Lo Sicco the threat and the sisters are turning to the police. But the Mafia is quickest of the Law: The Sicco obtained the building permit with a bribe of 25 million pounds and starts to break down the flat side. When saw the bulldozer approaching the sisters begin to arrive in their store drums of cement. The message is clear: you will end up there. Lo Sicco denies having ordered the assassination but the prosecutor offers Pilliu protection program. Today the sisters are a symbol antimafia: live right in the palace built by Lo Sicco and confiscated by the state. The manufacturer was sentenced to two years and eight months for fraud and corruption to which were added seven years for mafia.
inauguration of the new store built by the fund anti-racket, Senator Schifani was not there. It was the other side in this affair. His study has defended the company before the Tar Lo Sicco. The repentant Sicco The Innocent, said that he Schifani accompanied the lawyer in the office to follow the practice. Certainly at the time the contractor had not been investigated and the senator could not know who had to do even if the son of Lo Sicco had disappeared in 1991 for white shotgun. In those years also witnessed Schifani other entrepreneurs who have stumbled in the confiscation of Mafia, as Dominic Federico, nominee John Bonte, brother of the former head of the dome Stefano. One area that the confiscations that the senator has not forgotten in Parliament. When he submitted a bill (number 600) to amend the law on confiscation and seizure.
Schifani has also distinguished himself recently for his staunch defense of Totò Cuffaro whose stories courts are well known to most people. Schifani said on the possible condemnation of Toto: "Toto Cuffaro, in the event that it is condemned, not be forced to resign. In 2000, the center-left regional government passed a law where they listed all the crimes that result in the forfeiture of the Member. I alleged crimes for which he is accused Cuffaro are not mentioned. Forza Italy is a guaranteed part. Then, what would be if Cuffaro was convicted at first instance and then acquitted on appeal? We would go to the polls in vain? "
This then is the man appointed to represent all Italians in the Senate ...
No wonder then if we consider all mafiosi and criminals ... In
any other democratic country a person like the lawyer Schifani rot in jail.
