«No instrument in the fight against the mafia will be weakened by the government»- Corriere.it

Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro Delle Vedove, but then what does the government want to do about the external competition in mafia association?
The government’s line is clear: don’t touch it.

Not so clear. Minister Carlo Nordio yesterday to Corriere also explained how to intervene. Not so?
I’m glad you made it clear that it’s not the government’s idea. But still he did not say that he wants to abolish it.

Not even that he wants to keep it.
Let’s say that a perfect storm was unleashed on the “Nordio-thought”.

That means?

A logical short-circuit. Because the minister said it doesn’t exist. And if anything, that he wants to intervene with an ad hoc rule, which does not mean abolishing but typifying an ad hoc crime.

Will you?

Not in the government program. But in any case they reassure everyone: there is no will to lower the bar in the fight against the mafia. And it couldn’t be otherwise.

Why?

Because the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, drew her political inspiration from Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, as she has always said.

Many have said so. In the concrete?
So let’s say it better: no instrument in the fight against the mafia will be weakened by this government. I think it is understood.

From what?

As a first step, we thwarted the substantial abolition of life imprisonment for non-collaborating mafiosi. We have exceptional legislation in the assault on illicit assets. Tools based on follow the money of Falcone such as preventive confiscation (which abroad they call “confiscation without conviction”) and that extended to money not strictly connected to the crime, which cause us to be studied and praised by other countries as I was able to see in Antwerp in the Forum of coalition of countries against organized crime. Let alone….

Let alone?
Let alone if we want to dismantle them. We will keep everything. We also demonstrated it in the fight against the softening of 41 bis, on which I think I can say something….

According to the investigating judge, he said too much. He has never talked about it, can you tell us what he thinks of that forced indictment, with the prosecutor that he wanted to file?

The Prime Minister removed me from the embarrassment of speaking about my personal position, which any man of common sense has: I think exactly like her.

Including the fact that it was irrational?

I have never divided the thought of Giorgia Meloni. I have always shared it in its entirety. I will continue to address this matter in the appropriate forums. Trusting in the fact that my absolute extraneousness to the facts will emerge.

The Democratic Party is still waiting for your apologies and leaves when you enter the commission.

Always regret the lack of comparison.

Of the other cases that shake the majority…

I don’t talk about it.

What do you think of the current clash with the ANM?
The Anm provides some solicitations that it is right to listen to. The political body has another role, an independent one. But in the case of external competition, there is not even a reason for contention.

In the case of the separation of careers for s.
another theme. always in the center-right program and we will.

According to the ANM dangerous for democracy.

So you are telling me that the ANM believes that a number of European countries that have it are not democratic? I don’t think so.
