Lucia Borsellino gets new job

(ANSA) - Rome, August 18 - Former Sicily health councillor Lucia Borsellino was on Tuesday named to an anti-corruption post at Italy's regional healthcare agency Agenas. The job will last two years and Borsellino will be based in Rome.
    News of the appointment came a day after the interior ministry assigned a police escort to Borsellino, daughter of slain anti-Mafia prosecutor Paolo Borsellino.
    She will have an armour-plated car and will be escorted by two police officers.
    Borsellino, who was said to be unhappy with the measure because she prefers to keep a low profile, was recently in the news because of an alleged wiretap published by l'Espresso magazine in which a graft-probed plastic surgeon, Matteo Tutino, allegedly says "she should be blown up like her father".
    Several Sicilian prosecutors' offices have denied the existence of the allegedly classified wiretap, as has the alleged recipient of the remark, Sicily Governor Rosario Crocetta, who faced down a firestorm of criticism for allegedly remaining silent.
    Paolo Borsellino was killed along with his police escorts by a Cosa Nostra car bomb in July 1992, three months after his friend and fellow crusading anti-Mob prosecutor Giovanni Falcone met the same fate.
