Recurrences.
I apologize for the absence. Today I want to tell a story.
In preparing television in which I work, I take care of the lineup and content of a talk show that airs in prime time. In the week that has just closed, we have dedicated an episode to George Ambrosoli .
the liquidator of the Italian private bank, Ambrosoli the lawyer was killed in the night between 11 and 12 July 1979 . Instigator of the assassination was Michele Sindona, the Sicilian banker at the center of a complex web of political and mafia interests.
In September 1974, received by the governor Ambrosoli Bank of Italy Guido Carli, the Bank is engaged to Italian private Sindona . A task that the lawyer he completed in a matter of months. Not without obstacles. Ambrosoli underwent pressure, threats, bribery attempts. Objective, to ensure its recovery plan for the BPI, Bank of Italy and by public funds. A plan which, if passed, would have also avoided criminal and civil Sindona any wrongdoing.
Ambrosoli did not buckle. And in February the following year, in a note to his wife Annaloro, wrote: "I will pay very dearly to the assignment. Whatever happens, you know what to do and I am sure you know very well done " .
The lawyer spent the following years to unravel the tangle of companies Sindona. The stakes were so many and very strong. a half there were political mafia, the masonic lodge Propaganda 2, the Vatican (remember Roberto Calvi?) . At the inquest also worked
U.S. authorities involved in the crash of the Franklin Bank of Sicilian banker. In the days following his death, Ambrosoli was supposed to meet to sign a formal declaration.
On March 18, 1986, Michele Sindona and Roberto Venetucci, arms dealer who had placed the banker in contact with the killer who would factually committed the murder, were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Ambrosoli.
Sindona died in prison four days later, on March 22, the effects of poisoning by cyanide, in circumstances never fully clarified.
In the study, as our guest, there was Umberto Ambrosoli, son of the lawyer and author of "Whatever happens" (Sironi publisher) in library from May 20.
I would now remember all the sad anniversary that I have neglected in the past two weeks : Eros Rabbiani, employee (May 22); Giovanni Falcone, judge , Francesca Morvillo, judge, and the basis of Judge Falcone (23 May), Gianluca Congiusca, trader (24 May), the victims of the massacre of Georgofili (27 May), the victims of Piazza della Loggia (May 28).
