	Salvatore Riina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Salvatore Riina, also known as Totò Riina (born November 16, 1930) is one of the most infamous members of the Sicilian Mafia.
		Born in 1930, Riina was raised in Corleone and joined the local Mafia clan, the Corleonesi, at the age of eighteen after he committed a murder on their behalf.
		Although Riina's criminal actions were geared towards the acquisition of wealth and power, his ruthlessness, treachery and the enormous number of brutal murders he either committed or sanctioned were excessive even by the standards of other gangsters.

	GANGSTERS INCORPORATED - TOTO RIINA
		Salvatore Riina was born on November 16th 1930 in Corleone.
		At the end of the war the young faction won; Luciano Leggio became the new boss, Salvatore Riina the underboss and Bernardo Provenzano the consigliere.
		In 1993 Salvatore Riina was arrested after 23 years of fugitiveness and sentenced to life; his empire was going to break down; his wife, sons and relatives still live in Corleone, but his power is not the same behind bars, also because he was replaced by Provenzano how he once replaced Leggio.

		Questo sia per il "ruolo di vertice" occupato da Riina all'interno di Cosa Nostra sia perchè questa è "l' organizzazione criminale più pericolosa tuttora operante sul territorio nazionale e dedita alla commissione di gravissimi delitti".
		Salvatore Riina, anzi, durante la detenzione "non ha dato alcun segnale di resipiscenza o di voler recidere il legami con Cosa nostra", a dimostrazione della "permanenza di una spiccata capacità criminale del detenuto e del pericolo per l' ordine e la sicurezza derivante dalla permanenza di vincoli con la criminalità organizzata".

		Una ipotesi di resa in cambio di sconti di pena e di un carcere meno duro per i corleonesi, una "dissociazione" dei boss per firmare una sorta di armistizio a quasi dieci anni dalle stragi del '92 e del '93 che fecero tremare l'Italia.
		E’ l’uomo che arrestò Totò Riina e che riconsegnò alla giustizia italiana una ventina di grandi latitanti mafiosi oltre a un centinaio di gregari di Cosa Nostra.
		Probabilmente bisognerà attendere la conferma in Cassazione della pena a vita inflitta a Riina e al resto della «cupola» per le stragi (del 1993) di Milano, Firenze e Roma.

		Si abbia almeno il coraggio di ammettere che il richiamo alle coscienze per la salvaguardia della dignità dell’uomo, in simili casi, è soltanto il frutto di interessi che non vogliamo neppure pensare di prendere in considerazione, perché dovremmo formulare pensieri rivoltanti nei confronti di certi politici.

		Riina was detained in Palermo in January 1993, months after he had ordered the back-to-back slayings of top anti-Mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.
		The charge against them stemmed from the fact that Riina's hideout was not searched for some two weeks after the boss' arrest.
		Mori and De Caprio were accused of deliberately aiding the Mafia by failing to search the house, as it gave Riina's associates the chance to remove sensitive documents and other items.

		Salvatore Cancemi, boss mafioso reggente del mandamento di Porta Nuova, oggi collaboratore di giusitzia, non appena si fu consegnato ai carabinieri di Palermo, chiese di vedere Ultimo.
		Non era uno a conoscenza di dove si nascondesse Riina, ma era uno che sapeva che, seguendo i Ganci, lo si poteva individuare." Trame e teorie, collaborazioni e confidenze, tra le solite metodologie d'Italia il parere più autorevole ed affidabile rimane senza dubbio quello del capitano Ultimo e dei suoi uomini.

		In pochi secondi Riina e il suo scudiero si ritrovano sul sedile posteriore della "civetta" che sgomma verso il centro.
		Ci fu un momento in cui Riina si convinse (o qualcuno glielo fece credere) di poter tenere sotto ricatto l'Italia, seminando stragi e terrore per provocare una sterzata legislativa in direzione di scelte favorevoli a Cosa nostra.
