Caltanissetta Prosecutor Dismisses Far-Right Lead in 1992 Bombings as 'Worth Zero'

De Luca told the Antimafia Commission the hypothesis lacks proof, citing a judge's archiving alongside unreliable witness accounts.

Overview

  • Chief prosecutor Salvatore De Luca said there are no concrete elements tying Stefano Delle Chiaie or other far-right figures to the Capaci and Via d'Amelio massacres.
  • He characterized continued pursuit of this line as a waste of time after years spent checking claims promoted in media reconstructions.
  • The office deems statements by Walter Giustini, Alberto Lo Cicero, and Maria Romeo not credible, including accounts of a 1992 meeting with Palermo boss Mariano Tullio Troia and a tunnel reconnaissance.
  • De Luca underscored a decisive GIP ruling that archived the inquiry, noting the judge has not routinely sided with prosecutors in other matters.
  • In the same hearing he highlighted other investigative tracks such as the mafia-appalti dossier as more substantiated and indicated a separate neo-fascist angle remains under active scrutiny without details disclosed.
