Governments have only
tackled the mafia "in alternating phases," Senate Speaker Pietro
Grasso told the National AntiMafia Authority Friday. "Many laws
only came after a wave of massacres and arrest, in the wake of
grievous loss and scandals," said Grasso, a former national
anti-mafia prosecutor. "Tension then eased and everything
returned towards normalisation", he said at Bagno a Ripoli near
Florence.
