Continuing the Italian Mafia saga, today presents the twenty-first episode.
After sending the Italian eagle and Justice Falco to "hell" with two tons of high explosives, the new generation of evil godfather Madonia publicly stated that this was only the first generous gift from the mafia to Palermo, and the second would soon be delivered.
The fierce devil always does what he says in an unscrupulous way.
Two months later, Attorney Paul Borsellino, Falco's friend and successor, received another bomb of equal power. In such a dark age, the opposition to the devil often ushered in not light, but death. Paul Borsellino knows this, and when he embarks on this cruel path of justice, he has no heroism, only tragedy.
There was no cover-up, on the way to Palermo, he had publicly stated that I felt like a living zombie, and that the next future victim might be me—
Unfortunately, the tragedy was spoken of by him.
At noon on 19 July 1992, Paulo Borsellino, the Attorney General of Palermo, was accompanied by several bodyguards to visit his mother. As he stepped out of the car and was about to ring the doorbell, a car parked at the entrance of the stairs suddenly exploded. In an instant, the entire building collapsed, and Paul Borsellino and his three bodyguards died instantly.
This time, the same person who pressed the bomb remote control was brusca, the later "mafia king of kings", who was ambushed on the roof of another tall building 200 meters away. After witnessing the Attorney-General shattered to pieces, the thug smoked a cigarette and said to his men, Guys, this is our masterpiece, 300 kilograms of explosives are far more powerful than a shuttle of bullets.
Two months later, two famous justices were killed one after another, and the whole of Italy was once again completely enraged. The Roman authorities realized that several round-ups had not extinguished the mafia's arrogance, and that in order for justice to stop bleeding, a more thorough and hardened iron fist must be sacrificed.
Justice in a democratic system sometimes comes with such a sadness that blood flows out without shock, and justice often has no reason to strike with iron blood.
Out of utter anger, this time the Roman government emulated Mussolini, the mafia's lair, Sicily, and sent a large number of regular armed forces and special forces, reaching 2,000 special warfare fighters in Palermo alone.
For a time, the mussolini era of the powerful crackdown on the mafia seems to have returned. The gendarmes and police are no longer the main forces against the Sicilian mafia, the airports and ports are strongly blockaded, and the murderous special warfare forces are searching the streets of Palermo day and night for the mafia -
In this way, the Sicilian mafia was once again in a situation where there was no way to escape, and after nearly two months of intense searches, the mafia leaders who had previously slipped through the net were arrested, including the second person in the Mafia Supreme Committee who had evaded the pursuit for 11 years, and Giuseppe Madonia, the mastermind behind the murder of Justice Falco.
The main reason why Madonia was caught in this round of manhunt was that he was overconfident and too confident in the black tradition of the mafia's godfathers. As everyone knows, when Palermo is full of grass and trees, all the darkness under the lights has become a dead end.
However, Brusca, the murderer of Falco and Paul Borcelino, once again escaped the Roman authorities with his vigilance and cunning.
This brutal man who is about to be called the "king of the mafia kings" has a survival principle that never gives up, no matter where he goes, he is not sure of a safe retreat, he never settles down, and after holding a safe retreat, he only lies dormant, does not go and never shows his head.
For this set, Bruska once went out of his way to say to his brother Vincenzo, who followed him, remember! Men must learn to survive on the edge of the cliff, and they must learn to escape from the edge of the cliff.
Because he was famous but could always escape from the cliff, Brusca naturally became the main target of the Roman authorities after the great hunt.
The Roman authorities' almost desperate decision was wise. In fact, since Madonia and other godfathers were successively arrested and imprisoned, brusca rose to the throne of the first godfather of the Italian mafia for the honor of directly killing Falco, and his title of "Mafia King of Kings" was also called at this stage.
At the age of 38, he received the highest honor of the mafia, which is an insurmountable legend in the history of the godfather of the mafia.
The Palermo mafia research experts summed up such a dark legend, and all informants described this person as a natural butcher without any charm, but because he developed the killing to the point of carelessness, he became the king of kings 30 years younger than the traditional godfather. Compared with the original gentleman and knight, this guy is more like a brilliant warrior king, he does not need charm, because he has a suffocating terror power, just like he does not love pistols, love strong explosives -
In addition, it is this person's veins that flow with the most authentic black blood of the Sicilian mafia.
Brusca comes from a Sicilian mafia family, whose father Bernardo paved a dark avenue for him early on, and in his early years he has been following the family's "bulldozer" Provenzano, always doing the bloody and dirty work of eradicating dissidents, because of his fierce heart, at the age of 20, he won the respect of his fathers.
Provenzano, a 30-year-old "bulldozer", even said that Brusca was by no means a young man when he killed people, he was a big brother who was born good at this.
It was because of this qualification that Madonia later entrusted him with the task of hunting Italian eagles, and after brutally killing the anti-mafia's benchmark figures, even if he was always on the run, the natural butcher never stopped killing.
He used high explosives against the righteous, and he used demonic means to severely punish the apostates.
However, in May 1995, due to a demonic killing, the butcher Brusca was eventually pushed to the edge of the cliff, which was no longer a desperate retreat from what he called a desperate situation, but a desperate situation after the rebellion.
San Tino was Brusca's most trusted subordinate and an important member of his explosive assassination team, who was captured by the police during a robbery after assisting Brusca in the assassination of Falco. Unable to spare his 11-year-old son, SanTineau betrayed the Mafia's "gag commandments" by confessing the details of Falco's murder and Paulo Borsellino.
Upon learning of his betrayal, Brusca's revenge came quickly, and he snatched Santino's son before the police.
One of the traditional mafia creeds is not a curse for women and children. Although this creed was undermined during the period of great vendetta within the Mafia, even so, the abuse of women and children in retaliation rarely occurred.
But this time, Bruska the Butcher completely broke through the moral bottom line of the mafia. After the capture of SanTineau's 11-year-old son, for the next 18 months, Brusca used various tortures on the innocent 11-year-old teenager, not only that, but after each execution, he also took pictures of the teenager's tragic condition and sent it to the police and San Tino himself.
For 18 months, the teenager had nothing left but his faint breathing.
And before it was over, after the teenager was finally strangled alive, Brusca did another thing in a terrible way, and it was this event that completely angered the world, including the vast majority of mafia people.
The butcher threw the tragically dead teenager into a hydrochloric acid jar -
Bruska thought it would be enough to frighten all the apostatistic mafia, but in exchange for a desperate hatred, no one wanted to forgive a perverted and heinous devil.
Palermo could not tolerate the suffocating guilt of the piles, and in January 1996, the Palermo court held a "trial in absentia" in which Brusca was sentenced to life in absentia.
After the trial in absentia, a powerful hunt to bring the demons to justice began.
For Bruska, who had lost his peripheral protection and his authority was gone, the next escape was a dead end.
In a directionless escape, Bruska changed his hideout frequently with his mistress, brother, and 5-year-old son, along with his beard, hairstyle, and everything he could change.
But no matter how disguised, Bruska at this time has a hard time changing the fact of the street rat.
Soon, the police found his tracks in Naples, and unfortunately, before the police arrived, his son's sudden crying made him vigilant and he escaped the roundup.
But then he was not so lucky, even if he was calculating.
On 17 May 1996, Bruska took refuge with his mistress, brother, and son in The Seaside Village of Kalitano near Agrigento, Sicily. This time, his hiding place was the house of a local mafia member, a small two-story building.
As soon as he first entered the door, Brusca said to the mafia member, "We are old friends, and if I remember correctly, your son is probably eleven or twelve years old."
When the mafia members heard this, they immediately thought of the Brusca hydrochloric acid tank.
There is no doubt that Brusca's goal was to insure the hiding place. Judging by the effect at the time, the demon succeeded, and the threat gave him the much-needed loyalty he needed.
After settling down in the small two-story building, Bruska ordered his brother to check the doors and windows, which were nailed except for one window on the second floor. After leading the family to the second floor, Bruska then handed a thick rope to his brother, and he said, this rope is the way back to our escape in distress, you nailed it to the room, in danger, you must throw it out of the window at the first time.
Having said all this, Bruska opened a shopping list to the owner of the house with a large-caliber pistol in his hand, and he said, "This is what we need in the coming months, and you'd better buy it all for me in two days, old friend, you know, everywhere I go, I'm always like this, I don't like the outside world very much.
Intimidated by the devil's obscenity, the owner of the house complied.
For the next two days, the wind and waves were calm. But on the third day, a small movement of the devil inadvertently pushed himself into the end.
He used his rarely used big brother to call a Neapolitan mafia leader. Who knows, the phone of the mafia leader has long been monitored by the police, in order to catch the devil, the Italian police can also be said to be exhausted, they deliberately missed a few mafia leaders who have something to do with the devil, in order to get such an opportunity.
Although it was uncertain whether the caller was Brusca, the police immediately blocked all the seas and ports near Agrigento.
An uncertain round-up began.
After the early hours of May 20, 1996, the world's closest time to deep sleep, 200 riot police quietly surrounded the devil's hiding place. At the behest of the capture captain, Luci Savina, dozens of heavily armed capturers rushed into the devil's two-story building with lightning speed.
Just as Bruska almost touched the gun, a special pair of handcuffs ended his violent resistance.
To the astonishment of the arresting team, the television in Bruska's room was always on, and the picture in the television was actually a video of the scene of Falka's murder.
Luci Savina asked the devil if you remember that three days later was the anniversary of Falco's fourth anniversary.
The devil is still arrogant, and he says, "Your Day of Remembrance of Pain is my Glorious Day, and I always celebrate it in advance."
At this time, Luci Savina noticed a book and a thick pile of dollars on the table in the room. Walk over and look at it, the book is the mafia scene written by Falco that year, and the dollar is thirty thousand.
Picking up the dollar, Luci Savina realized that this time God was on the side of justice, and half a day later, the devil would most likely escape again, for the fare for his escape again was already on the table.
The devil's subsequent words confirmed this, saying that if you leave after that call, you will be nothing but futile losers—
With the arrest of Giovanni Brusco and the voice of Italian public opinion, the era of mafia impunity was finally over.
But is that really the case?
Eight years later, just when the world thought that the devil was going to die in prison, Brusco, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment by the High Court of Rome, was incredibly free.
He did not escape from prison, but was freed on bail.
In this regard, the High Court of Rome gave the explanation that the person had behaved well in prison, that he had received a commutation of his sentence and that he had the right to be released on bail.
As soon as this claim was revealed, it caused an uproar in Italy, because the world remembered that the devil personally admitted during the interrogation that he had killed 100 people.
But so what?
When democracy trumps justice, the world must bear this hurt!
