Borsellino only had AM escort

(ANSA) - Rome, July 16 - A video screened in the Senate on Wednesday showed anti-mafia prosecutor Paolo Borsellino, killed like his friedn and colleague Giovanni Falcone by a mafia bomb in 1992, asking what sense having a police escort only in the morning had.
    The assassination of Borsellino has recently been brought back to the public spotlight. "What sense does it have to be accompanied in the morning to then be free to be assassinated in the evening," Borsellino had asked the anti-mafia commission, complaining that he only had a police escort in the morning due to a lack of drivers. "We need them the entire day," he said. The commission has meanwhile decided unanimously to remove the state secret confidentiality of deeds up until 2001 and to digitise all the materials. Two magistrates who worked in the Palermo anti-mafia pool were placed under investigation in June in a probe into suspected cover-ups regarding Borsellino's assassination.
    Carmelo Petralia and Annamaria Palma, who worked on the bombing, have been placed under investigation with possible charges of complicity in aggravated calumny and having favoured Cosa Nostra.
    Borsellino was murdered on July 19, 1992, two months after Falcone.
    The two crusading magistrates were instrumental in the creation of the pool.
