President Sergio Mattarella
said at the departure of the anti-mafia Legality Ship Tuesday on
the anniversary of the 1992 slaying of anti-mafia prosecutor
Giovanni Falcone that "May 23 is a date that cannot be
forgotten, the day of the cowardly attack at Capaci is marked
every year. Since then a precious and important movement of
civic reaction has developed, against the mafia, which has
achieved important results but which requires further
commitments".
Falcone was killed by a massive bomb under the
Palermo-Palermo Airport highway at Capaci, along with his wife
and bodyguards.
Two months later his friend and colleague Paolo Borsellino
fell victim to another huge Cosa Nostra bomb.
