May 23, 2020 "Now more than ever, in this unprecedented situation, the state must keep its guard high. The institutions and civil society have all the antibodies necessary to prevent the mafia from taking advantage of this very serious emergency". This was stated by the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese, in a video message for the commemoration of the Capaci massacre.

"As the magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino taught us, also feared and therefore murdered by Cosa Nostra, the mafias know they can count on a great ability to adapt - recalls Lamorgese - And for this they take advantage of every useful opportunity, even now the health emergency for Covid19, because opaque investment opportunities have always represented the access key that opens the door to the pollution of the healthy economy in favor of the illegal one ".

Do not lose commitment legality
"The memory and honor paid to the memory of Judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and agents Antonio Montinaro, Vito Schifani and Rocco Dicillo imposes on all of us - also on this 28th anniversary of the Capaci massacre - the duty not to lose a daily commitment to the legality that still today manifests all its ideal role ", underlines the Minister of the Interior.

"The mafia that murdered Judge Giovanni Falcone 28 years ago - Lamorgese recalls - feared above all the strength, experience and tenacity of a magistrate committed for years to dissecting the secret structure of Cosa Nostra, with its ramifications and its plots in the business sector and in the world of public procurement. That wealth of ideas and knowledge - cemented in a culture of rigorous investigation because it is conducted without easy shortcuts - has remained intact in the legacy that judge Falcone left us, whose memory is now in the common sentiment of the citizens and of the many young people who were not even born in 1992. Above all to them - he underlines - we must say that the State is there. What judiciary and police forces are committed every day and who make important records And we must also tell them that the fight against the mafias continues with the same intensity, albeit in a changed and constantly evolving historical and social context ".
