Mafia 'Butcher' talks his way out of life behind bars

The Times
From Richard Owen in Rome



A MAFIA boss known as Il Macellaio (The Butcher), who claimed more than 100 killings is being allowed days out of prison as a reward for good behaviour after only eight years behind bars.

Giovanni Brusca, who was convicted in the 1992 bombing that killed Giovanni Falcone, the prominent anti-Mafia prosecutor, is allowed out for one week every forty-five days to visit his wife and son.

The revelation has caused outrage among relatives of victims of Mafia-related crimes. They criticised the benign regime afforded to a former “Godfather” of the Sicilian Mafia and a self- confessed multiple murderer.

Brusca’s crimes include the killing of Giuseppe Di Matteo, the 11-year-old son of a rival, whose body was dissolved in acid after he was held prisoner in a bunker for two years.

torturing an 11 year old. Disgusting. I do NOT understand our judicial system.
