| | ITALY'S ANDREOTTI & MAFIA LINKS |
 | | Andreotti was finally cleared of all charges, and a prison sentence of 24 years, by the Italian supreme court on 30th October 2003. |
 | | In typical fashion, Andreotti tried to brush off his relations with Pecorelli when he appeared before prosecutors in the case, by recounting a humorous anecdote, which revealed, nonetheless, that he was fully aware of Pecorelli's threats. |
 | | Andreotti seems convinced that someone in the US is directing the "conspiracy" against him, although this, too, makes little sense: the Mafiosi in the US witness-protection programme were the last to accuse him, after the investigation was well under way. |
