Dino Petralia has always been the anti-mafia robe, the new head of prisons chosen by Bonafede

Bonafede Announcement

The Guardasigilli met and installed Deputy Director Tartaglia in the Dap. He only says a few words about Petralia after the conference call with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte: “Waiting for the response from the CSM (which must authorize his removal, ed.) I can only say that he is a magistrate who has spent his life for justice and the fight against the mafia “. Petralia also receives praise from the former colleague of Piero Grasso who speaks of “excellent choice” and of a “serious and competent” magistrate who, with Deputy Tartaglia, “will be able to deal with rigor and respect for the rights to the delicate question of prisons ”

In plein Petralia and Tartaglia

In plein because former anti-mafia prosecutor Roberto Tartaglia, already chosen by Bonafede three days ago, will be next to Petralia. A team that replaces the resigning Francesco Basentini and that cuts the political controversy over the recent release of the bosses (Zagaria, Bonura, Iannazzo and others) decided by the surveillance magistrates, but politically accused by Bonafede himself. However, a ministerial investigation for the go-ahead began in Zagaria. Tartaglia officially assumes the position of deputy director this morning, and immediately after the handshake with the Guardasigilli he will go to Dap. Between the two, Petralia and Tartaglia, the relationship is excellent, because both worked in Palermo, Tartaglia pm and Petralia, assistant prosecutor. More: Tartaglia worked in the corruption group, of which Petralia was the direct coordinator. It is the first time that the choice of a vertex falls on two figures that are already closely related to each other, which can guarantee an agreed guide.

Petralia, from Cosa nostra to Csm

But let’s see who Petralia is and what her career has been. Always very elegant and with attention to detail, Bernardo Petralia, Dino for friends and indeed for everyone, born in 1953, is a Sicilian mother but from Liguria. He began his work as a magistrate in Trapani, where he worked in the prosecution with Giacomo Ciaccio Montalto, the magistrate killed by the mafia. As the site www.nonsiamofannulloni tells it, which publishes his biography and also the photo that we propose, along with his wife Alessandra Camassa, also a magistrate and today president of the court of Marsala, Petralia right in Trapani “discovers the largest refinery for used drugs by mafia families. ” In 1985 he moved to Sciacca where, as an investigating judge, he conducted the first gang trial in which he used the repentant historians of Cosa Nostra, from Tommaso Buscetta to Totuccio Contorno and Pietro Calderone. In 1990 he was in the Marsala court as a judge, first civil and then criminal, where he presided over the university for the first mafia trials held under the new code. At just 43 years old, in 1996, he became procurator of Sciacca, where he remained for ten years until his appointment in 2006 as director of the CSM. From that period we recall the patrimonial measures, in particular one of 400 billion old liras, among the most striking ever made.

The years in Csm

In CSM, the current of Petralia is the Movement for Justice, the group that had Giovanni Falcone among the founders and that in the current Council appears in the Area group together with the Democratic Judiciary. From 2006 to 2010, at the CSM in the warm years of the Berlusconi and Angelino Alfano ad personam laws. Petralia does not shy away from calls for the Constitution and the need to respect it. When his four-year term ends, he does not seek a superior position in the judicial offices, which he would like to see as a prosecutor, but he again acts as a simple prosecutor in Marsala, before moving to Palermo in 2013 as an assistant prosecutor.

The step back in Turin by via di Palamara

Three years ago he was conquering the role of attorney general in Reggio Calabria. Then, in June of last year, when he was the most creditable successor possible to the post of prosecutor in Turin after Armando Spataro, here is his immediate resignation and withdrawal of the candidacy when his name ends on the Perugia cards of the Palamara case and The Interceptions reveal that Palamara, Cosimo Maria Ferri, MP Pd Renziano today and former leader of the independent judiciary, and Renziano and Pd Luca Lotti, obviously without his knowledge, were in their favor. On that occasion, he says to Alessandra Ziniti, from the Petralia Republic: “For me it is a moment of great bitterness, but also a recovery of serenity. The insult has added to the damage, but I am not available to dirty my dignity ”

Basentini waiver

Basentini said goodbye to his collaborators on Thursday night saying that “he was returning to Potenza”, the city where he was staying and where the Tempa rossa investigation also continued. This leaked news yesterday morning, announced by Sappe’s secretary, Donato Capece. A decision made after an interview with Bonafede, which ended with his resignation. Immediately after the February riots in 27 Italian penitentiaries, it ended the tragic death toll of 14 deaths and € 35 million in damage, as well as the completely destroyed and unusable Modena prison, Bonafede had begun to think of a replacement de Basentini, He did not immediately realize, despite pressure from the center-right opposition and the express requests of the Renzians, because they believed that they would not put their hands on top in a period of crisis. Then Covid and the release of the bosses after a circular in the 1970s from the DAP summit precipitated the situation. In particular, in Sassari the arrest of Camorra chief Pasquale Zagaria was granted house arrest.

The challenge for Petralia and Tartaglia

Petralia will arrive in Rome next week. Tartaglia is already in Dap from today. And today begins a challenge in Italian jails after the February riots, the release of numerous gangsters, the Basentini controversy. Knowing the two magistrates, you can already imagine what their line will be: without concession to the mafia and prisoners in 41 bis, but a fair prison anyway, without abuse or violence.
