520 |a Giovanni Falcone (Palermo 1939-Capaci 1992) is probably the most internationally renowned anti-mafia character. He was the protagonist of what some Italians call “our own 9/11”: the Capaci Massacre, when the mafia detonated a bomb with the force of 500 kilograms of TNT on the highway near the town of Capaci, killing Falcone, his wife and his escorts. It was a punishment for his investigative success, for bringing Cosa Nostra to its knees by using the instruments of the law, and a true media event that would forever change the public perception of the mafia. The text that follows is a transcription of an intervention that Falcone made during a conference on Italian organised crime in Mexico City in 1990. In plain and simple language, this text outlines the basic organisational characteristics of the three largest mafia groups in Italy: the ’Ndrangheta, the Camorra and Cosa Nostra. Falcone also explains their ties to Cosa Nostra in North America and delineates several characteristics of transnational organised crime, which demonstrate just how far ahead of his time he was. The final section includes some questions and answers that emerged during the conference, on issues such as comparability with Mexican legislation and the compatibility between mafia and political terrorism.
