Messina Denaro: Goodies always win Meloni tells daughter

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 17 - Premier Giorgia Meloni says in a TV interview to be broadcast Tuesday night that she told her six-year-old daughter that "the goodies always win" in explaining the arrest after 30 years on the run of Mafia superboss Matteo Messina Denaro.
    "The good guys, in the end, always win. That's how you explain it to a six-year-old girl". Meloni says in the Fuori del Coro chat show on Mediaset, referring to her daughter Ginevra she has with her partner, a Mediaset employee.
    Meloni visited Palermo on Monday, when Messina Denaro was arrested in a cancer clinic in the Palermo capital, and said she wanted January 16 to become a national day dedicated to the people who combat organized crime.
    She said Monday was a "historic" day but stressed that the mafia has not been defeated yet.
    "We have not won the war," she said. "But this was a fundamental battle to win and it is a big blow to organised crime".
    Meloni added that her government would take action to ensure that people do not turn to the Mafia because the State fails to provide answers to their problems. (ANSA).
