Rome, Sept. 23 (LaPresse) – "Exposing the criminal reality that the Camorra wanted to conceal was a way to try to free the territory from the stranglehold imposed by illegal activities that oppress its life and development. The truths revealed were the reason for the ruthless retaliation," said President Sergio Mattarella. "The judicial process, which led to the conviction of both the perpetrators and the masterminds, once again shows that mafia killers can be struck. Remembering the sacrifice of Siani’s life inevitably brings to mind the numerous journalists who died for the crime of testifying to the truth, reporting on violations of rights, aggressions, wars, and merciless extermination. The murder of journalists is a murder of our freedoms, of a part of us that the community is unwilling to relinquish," added the Head of State.
