In the investigation into the killing of Paolo Borsellino And Freemasonry also appears. In a sensational and unexpected way, the Caltanissetta prosecutor’s office ordered the search of the places that were attended in life by Giovanni Tinebra, a controversial magistrate who in the past coordinated the investigations on the massacres of 1992 and who disappeared in 2017. In particular the prosecutors, led by Salvo De Lucathey went in search of confirmations on the belonging of Tinebra To a sort of loggia covered in Nicosia, in the province of Enna, where the magistrate worked continuously from 1969 to 1992 (also holding the role of prosecutor since 1983), before being promoted to the head of the investigators of Caltanissetta.
That of Tinebra It is a name that connects many worlds and that in recent times has returned to the limelight, despite being already deceased, because the Sicilian lawyer Piero Amara He had placed him at the top of a supposed Masonic Loggia covered by Hungary. A story to which the prosecutor of Perugia has found no confirmation and for which Bitter has been repeatedly denounced for slander, but which today would see at least the belonging of Tinebra to Freemasonry.
However, it is necessary to specify that the new investigations do not have Hungary asset. From the search decree, carried out yesterday, it is learned that the procedure, at the moment against unknown persons and that hypothesizes the crimes of massacres and fraud in trial with the aggravating mafia, concerns “the involvement of subjects external to Cosa Nostra” in the massacre of via D’Amelio, “with particular reference to the contribution provided by members of Masonic associations” covered “”. This track was started thanks to “a careful and in -depth reinterpretation of the overall evidentiary material stratified in the debates that have been celebrated so far”.
And here the testimonies of repentant as a dusty cards like Giovanni Battista Ferrantewho attributed to Totò Riina Some sensational statements: “Alluding to the two massacres that had recently been consumed, he pronounced the phrase that I report verbatim:” If it was alone for me we would not have done anything … “”. An admission that would have been made to respond to the “complaints” of Matteo Messina Denaroconnected to the “prejudicial consequences for the Cosa Nostra who were deriving from the reaction of the state following the massacres”. The chief of the leaders would have added: “The Masons Vosiru ca si fici chistu”. The Masons wanted this to be done. The investigation emerged, as mentioned, also the name of Tinebra. The prosecutors write: «The examination of the evidentiary material that emerged during the hearing certainly throws shadows on the work of Dr. Giovanni Tinebra At the time of the facts prosecutor of the Republic of Caltanissetta. In this regard, just think of the irritation and in some ways disturbing involvement in the investigation of security services and in particular of Dr. Bruno Contrada».
And so, to “understand the environmental context in which the now ascertained sidetrack was placed relating to the investigations on the massacre of via D’Amelio”, the Nisseni magistrates deemed it necessary to deepen the hypothesized “Masonic belonging” of Tinebra “Since the time prior to the one in which he directed the Caltanissetta prosecutor”.
The carabinieri of the Ros yesterday passed three Nisseni apartments headed to the two children of the missing magistrate and the home of the last partner, in the province of Catania. The searches were performed to find “suitable documentation to prove belonging” Tinebra «Masonic lodge» and «the original or copy of the red agenda belonged to the life of Dr. Paolo Borsellino and other documentation concerning this agenda ». Which, however, was not found. The new investigation also involves the mafia entrepreneur Antonino Buscemi which is also mentioned in the investigation for aiding and abetting the former Palermo prosecutors investigated Giuseppe Pignatone And Gioacchino Natoli. A character, Buscemiwhich thus becomes the crossroads of two parallel investigations that they have never crossed to date. Indeed Buscemi He was one of the entrepreneurs in the center of the mafia dossier and contracts on which Borsellino was working shortly before he died, but he was also the one who had sold, through his real estate company, several apartments to the family of Pignatone and to the prosecutor Guido Lo Fortemagistrate, the latter, which he would later sign, together with his colleague Roberto Scarpinatothe request for filing the main vein of the gang affairs procedure. Real estate sales that ended up in the sights of the prosecutors, convinced that the investigation on Buscemi & c. It was maliciously sudden when they were guiding it Pignatone And Natoli.
During the investigations, the prosecutors acquired a note of 20 July 1992 (the day after the explosion of the car bomb in via D’Amelio) signed by the former head of the mobile team Arnaldo La Barberapoliceman suspected of having participated in the “systematic sidetracking” of the investigations on the death of Purse. In the App one reads: «Today, at 12, he is delivered to Dr. Tinebraa cardboard box containing a leather bag and an agenda belonging to the judge Purse». In the document no “subscription for receipt of what is indicated by Dr. Tinebra».
In this complicated intertwining, for investigators, Freemasonry could have played a non -secondary role. According to the Nissena prosecutor, “concrete clues about the presence of a Masonic loggia covered in the city of Nicosia emerged, of which Dr. Tinebra». His name was Victoria and he spoke of it Nicola Spinello, Son of Salvatore, character involved in the 90s in an important investigation on the loggias of the Naples prosecutor’s office. Spinel Junior confirmed the friendship between Tinebra And the parent, but denied that between the two there were “Masonic relationships”. Yet the intercepted father said: “Tinebra It is of ours too, he was from the loggia of Nicosia … of course when I go there, I don’t go publicly to embrace him, because I don’t want to compromise it ».
In Naples it emerged that the Nissian Spinel“Already at the top of the Masonic obedience of Piazza del Gesù” was “in contact with exponents of the highest level of Cosa Nostra also belonging to Freemasonry among which Angelo Siino, Pino Lipari, Pino Mandalari “. And in the years of the massacres “he had in mind to bring together more loggias scattered through Italy under his direction, including those present in Sicily”. On the phone he said, “From 1978 to 1983 I went 32 times in Sicily, also because I am of Sicilian origins and then I had the mandatory commitment to try to recover these people”. Siinospeaking of the masonry/mafia mixed, confirmed to the magistrates of this intent: «Spinel He told me that he wanted to create a secret Masonic super loggia in which important political exponents, entrepreneurship and organized crime could flow in order to create relationships of mutual convenience “. In an interception Spinelspeaking of his project with the former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy Giuliano di Bernardor, he had revealed that a Nicosia There was a Masonic lodge that had high -high people inside, in particular “an extremely in vogue character … who is in a position of great respect, of great jurisdiction”. For the magistrates it would be just about Tinebra.
To prove the overwhelming power of Spinel, Siino He told how much the Freemason reported to him in September 1990, when he was presented to him by one of the entrepreneurs involved in the mafia and contracts, Francesco Salamoneand by a Sicilian trade unionist: «He said he is able to transfer Giovanni Falcone In Rome, adding that the latter either left from Palermo or would have been killed ». Siino he would have answered angrily: «I said to Spinel to refer to those who wanted to kill Falcon That, as long as I was in Palermo, nobody would ever have killed him ». But then he also admitted: «The fact is that after a few months, around February 1991, Falcon he was actually transferred to the Ministry (of grace and justice, chaired by Claudio Martellieditor’s note) and I was very amazed, also because Spinel He boasted with me that he was the one who made the judge transfer Falcon».
Spinel He would have been close to the secret services and “to the socialists and the Social Democrats, friend of the then Minister of Public Works Nicolazzi».
Tornado to Tinebrathe historic driver of the former magistrate provided the prosecutors with a “very important detail”: “I have never participated or accompanied Tinebra to Freemasonry meetings. But I know that you met with people who said to be Freemons ». The reference is to a primary and a deputy primary of Nicosia who would also be part of an association, the Kiwanis club, a kind of non -secret emanation of Freemasonry, in which Tinebra He would “play a summit role”. By Bernardoheard in Trento last November as a witness, confirmed “very strong relationships between the Kiwanis clubs and Masonic lodge” and added that “among the members of these clubs there were also Free subjects”.
The prosecutor De Luca also highlighted the statements of the collaborator of justice Gioacchino Penninowho, already in 1998, had spoken of the Super Loggia third East, “structure built on the ashes of P2”. It, like P2, according to Nib“all those of whom the Masonic belonging could not be made, in order to create an organism capable of managing power above the parties and the Government” was proposed to affiliate. To speak to Nib of this organization would have been mainly “the doctor Giuseppe Lisottacousin of Vito Cianciminoas well as Antonino Schifaudowho explicitly manifested their belonging to the third East, making him some names of affiliated people and in particular: (omissis), the doctor Antonino Cinà and the entrepreneur Buscemi». And it is around the latter name that the investigation on the alleged cover -up of the mafia dossier and tenders and that on the relationships between gangs and Freemasonry are converging. The continuation of the investigations will tell us if they are suggestions, albeit supported by important testimonies, or of the true motive for the death of Paolo Borsellino.
