"La lotta alla mafia in Sicilia non ha fatto un passo avanti dall’omicidio di Petrosino ad oggi? Probabilmente no. Il livello di consenso sociale alle organizzazioni criminali in Sicilia e grandemente diminuito e la lotta alla mafia fatta da uomini determinati e coraggiosi come il procuratore Grasso beneficia non poco del nuovo clima instauratosi nell’Isola dopo gli eventi tragici degli ultimi anni."
Italian and American law enforcement officials, activists and lawyers brought home the reality of antimafia activities in Italy and in America at a recent conference at John Jay College in Manhattan. The occasion, celebrating the life of Joe Petrosino - an Italian emigrant and NYPD lieutenant - and the dedication of a park to him, was a reminder of how much has been done and how much still remains in the ongoing war against the Mafia.
Italy's National Association of Migrant Families (ANFE), is in New York for the Italian Heritage and Culture Month with a very busy ageda of meetings, conferences, and encounters. All the events scheduled are dedicated to the figure of Joe Petrosino and to the theme of legality and anti-Mafia struggle in Sicily and in Italy more generally. Participating in the events are the Governor of Sicily Hon. Raffaele Lombardo, the National Anti-Mafia Attorney Mr. Pietro Grasso, and well-known jurnalists, academics, and musicians from Italy and the U.S.
Interview with the Tourism Minister for the largest island in the Mediterranean
Antimafia prosecutor Pietro Grasso visits New York to celebrate the anniversary of Petrosino's death and present his book "Per non morire di Mafia" (As to not be killed by the Mafia), based on an interview with Alberto La Volpe to promote legality
"The perverse logic of a political system which appears still uneven and far from genuine democracy, still is a great obstacle to the generous attempts for eradicating the Mafia and its complicity. Even today, like yesterday, the situation needs to be constantly controlled"
