PALERMO His son Giuseppe, 13, made him dissolve it in acid, the face of a happy child in the photo while riding at the stables. And Santino Di Matteo, the repentant victim of the atrocious revenge, can only tolerate the state set free “This scum of humanity”. The former mafioso of Altofonte speaks from a secret location that Giovanni Brusca, with his brother Enzo, on behalf of the godfather of the past, Totò Riina, wanted to silence. In the worst way. Kidnapping for almost two years that little boy transferred from cottage to cottage with a chain around his neck until Brusca, won by the resistance of a father determined to collaborate with the state, gave the order to make all traces of the little aspiring jockey disappear. This is the story that torments Santino Di Matteo, tired of walking from one court to another: «After thirty years they are still being testified at the trials. I’m going to say what I know. But what good is it if the state itself lets itself be fooled by a swindler, a red herring?

As a collaborator of justice, do you argue that justice does not work?
«I can’t find the words to explain my bitterness. Who should I tell? Less than a year has passed since they had freed one of my son’s jailers, in Ganci, the village of the Madonie, one of the places of the ordeal. But the truth is that all the overseers and torturers of my creature are free. Everybody at home. And now the boss who organized and decided everything goes home as well. The same executioner of Capaci. Can you say executioner? Can I tell you? ».
The rule allows for liberation. Let’s say the law is the same for everyone …
“The law cannot be the same for these people. Brusca deserves nothing. Besides my son, he also killed a 23-year-old pregnant girl, Antonella Bonomo, after torturing her boyfriend. Strangled, for no reason, without knowing anything about their business and stuff. These people are not part of humanity ».

Giuseppe Di Matteo, was dissolved in acid by Brusca–
–
After 29 years, some magistrates may argue that it can be changed.
«They get taken for a ride. His ‘parrino‘, Riina, died in prison. And so it had to go for Brusca. You have done terrible things. Take it easy inside. We give you something, but you can’t go out. Because if it comes out, what justice is it? If I say so, maybe it’s not worth much, but there should be many to rebel. Instead, I know how it will end ».
How will it end?
«Newspapers and TV will talk about it for two days, then silence will triumph and that rascal will enjoy his freedom. By now I know how Italy is doing. And I make my blood bitter ».
It was news that had been announced for some time.
«Two years ago the president of the Supreme Court blocked everything. He said: stay inside. And Tina Montinaro, the widow of Falcone’s foreman, thundered that it shouldn’t happen. As it happens now on a regular basis. What the hell state is this? ».
What is forgotten in this story?
«You forget that the glass, that is, the pig, as they called Brusca, knew Giuseppe, my son, as a child. He played it together with the play station. Yet it made it dissolve in acid. And this horror is paid for in twenty years? I can’t even cry on a grave and I imagine him ready for a walk. Maybe in Altofonte. Or in a café in front of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo. I hope I will never meet him, as I ask the Lord. If that happens, I don’t know what might happen. ‘
