Synopsis: There was a “tzarina” in Palermo. One of the most powerful and unsuspecting figures in the city: the president of the Court’s Prevention Measures section, a past icon of the Anti-Mafia. However, he was capable of organizing a network of lawyers, accountants and bookkeepers with the aim of emptying the companies seized from crime, making them go bankrupt and collecting rich salaries for years. And then there was the son of an entrepreneur, owner of an award-winning winery in the world. He is accused of being a mafioso, a friend of bosses of the caliber of Bernardo Provenzano, Madonia and Lo Piccolo. It will take years to unravel the conspiracy hatched against him, as well as those of many other Sicilian entrepreneurs falsely accused of the mafia to strip away their assets. Now the Pandora’s box of the biggest Sicilian Anti-Mafia scandal has been opened, thanks to some inconvenient journalists. But the battle is not won. The disconcerting ending of this book, which only has the narrative style of a novel because the facts are all true, will tell you about it: leaving you with the bitter sensation of a society, the Sicilian one, which still seems unable to learn from its mistakes. Foreword by Enrico Bellavia.
