(ANSA) - Rome, May 22 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella
said Wednesday that "the ideas of Falcone and Borsellino
continue to move forward".
Anti-Mafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino
were killed in 1992 in attacks that also killed their bodyguards
and Falcone's wife.
In speaking at an event in Civitavecchia for the departure of
the 'ship of legality', he said that "today we are paying homage
to their memory, knowing that the efforts of Falcone and
Borsellino have not disappeared. They have not been interrupted.
They have been taken up by others."
The ship of legality reaches Palermo each year on May 23, the
anniversary of Falcone's assassination.
