Nicola Morra, a lawmaker for the
5-Star Movement (M5S), was elected the new president of
parliament's anti-mafia commission on Wednesday.
Morra got the nod with 30 votes, compared to 13 for former
Senate Speaker and ex national antimafia prosecutor Piero
Grasso, a member of the leftwing LeU group.
"We'll start by promoting a new anti-mafia culture," said
Morra, adding that the alleged negotiations between the State
and the Sicilian Mafia in the early 1990s and alleged links
between organized crime and the Masonry will be among his
priorities.
