Rome, 29 June (LaPresse) – During its 8 p.m. news broadcast, Tg1 showed for the first time the bag that Judge Paolo Borsellino had with him on the day of the Via d'Amelio massacre on 19 July 1992, in which he lost his life along with five members of his escort. Inside was the magistrate's red diary, which had disappeared. ‘If we had the red diary, we would have seen and understood what Borsellino wrote a few days before his death,’ said Carmelo Canale, a Carabinieri colonel and former marshal who was a long-time collaborator of Paolo Borsellino, in an interview with Tg1. The former carabiniere has compiled a collection of Borsellino's notes taken from another diary and will hand them over to the Anti-Mafia Commission. Tomorrow, Monday 30 June, at 6 p.m., in the Transatlantico of Montecitorio, a ceremony will be held in memory of Paolo Borsellino, during which the bag will be displayed for the first time.
