                 Prodi case prosecutor 'threatened with
                 death' 
                 By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
                 A STATE prosecutor received death threats after requesting a criminal
                 indictment of Romano Prodi and later saw her investigation into the former
                 Italian prime minister sabotaged by the authorities in Rome, an Italian judge
                 has claimed.
                 The allegations are contained in a book, High Speed Corruption: a Journey
                 into the Invisible Government, by Ferdinando Imposimato, one of Italy's most
                 famous anti-corruption judges. Mr Prodi, now president of the European
                 Commission, has refused to answer press queries about his past legal
                 difficulties on the grounds that he has been cleared in every case by the
                 courts. But the book alleges that an important corruption inquiry, focused on
                 Mr Prodi, was effectively shut down by the Procura di Roma under pressure
                 from the Italian Interior Ministry, which was then under Mr Prodi's control.
                 The threats against the prosecutor, Giuseppa Geremia, are alleged to have
                 taken the form of anonymous letters and telephone calls to her unlisted
                 number. When she refused to back down, a package was hand-delivered to
                 her home in Rome allegedly containing a knife and a photograph of her, a
                 method of intimidation, typical of the Mafia. The incidents occurred as her
                 inquiry was reaching a climax in 1996.
                 Pressure was also put on Dr Geremia's superior, according to the book,
                 which says he faced disciplinary charges if he did not agree to a transfer.
                 Judge Imposimato also accuses Mr Prodi of failing to prevent known Mafia
                 organisations from corrupting Italy's £40 billion high-speed railway project.
                 "Organised crime has been getting a foothold throughout Italy, and my fear
                 now is that it is going to spread to Europe under Prodi's management," he told
                 The Telegraph.
                 During a parliamentary inquiry, Mr Imposimato allegedly discovered that Mr
                 Prodi had allowed railway construction contracts to go to a company called
                 Icla, which was widely thought (and has subsequently been shown) to be
                 controlled by the Camorra, the Neapolitan Mafia. The project, known as the
                 TAV, was a source of huge bribes for the political elite at a time when Mr
                 Prodi was the official guarantor, a position that entailed fiduciary obligations
                 under Italian law. There is no suggestion that Mr Prodi himself was behind the
                 threats against Dr Geremia. All kinds of people had a possible interest in
                 thwarting the investigation.

E non certo per simpatia
Dire "mafia" e` una cretinata. Mafia e` tutto e nulla nello stesso tempo.
Ognuno puo essere piu mafioso di un mafioso secondo comportamento.
La parola "mafia" dovrebbe esser tolta dal codice penale, la giustizia
deve perseguire reati, non concetti astratti. Ma dubito siano in molti
a capire il concetto.
L'aveva capito Sciascia, e per questo gli fu dato l'ostracismo.

 la giustizia deve perseguire reati, non concetti astratti.
Per come la vedo io la giurisprudenza rubrica lo "stampo mafioso" in quanto
vi si trovano caratteristiche alquanto diverse da tutto il resto. Per questo
se nel nostro ordinamento esistono reati di "stampo mafioso" non vuol dire
che si vuole perseguire un concetto astratto (e poi la mafia non e' [solo]
un concetto astratto) ma che esistono reati che hanno certe caratteristiche.

Quel mostro giuridico del "concorso esterno per mafia"
non cita lo "stampo mafioso", ma la mafia tout court.

Gia', ma non so se esiste. Io so del "concorso esterno
in associazione di stampo mafioso".
