Maxi - Il grande processo alla mafia

Greetings From Corleone (1x4)

:

Many months have passed since the Palermo maxi-trial began. Prosecutors and defence attorneys face each other every day, while those who made the criminal history of the city and of Sicily make their appearance on the green carpet of the bunker courtroom. The atmosphere is always very tense, more so after the killing of Nino D'Uva, a lawyer from Messina killed during another Mafia-related trial. This episode contributes to raise the tension and concern of the defence lawyers, who see their hopes of overthrowing the trial fade. The prosecution front keeps his stance strong, and the statements from some of the most prominent defendant, such as Michele Greco and Luciano Liggio, fail to change the course of things. Franco keeps doing his job with passion and professionalism, despite the difficulties and the torments. Gianni on the contrary lives a difficult moment, deeply shocked and disturbed by "pentito" Vincenzo Sinagra tales of Mafia's "death chambers", and pressed by his fiancee to go back home and leave the job. Teresa takes courage to face her mother Filomena, who's one of the popular judges, and to ask her to step down for her own sake. The trial is becoming more and more the symbol of the wounds and of the desire of redemption of the city of Palermo, more so with the deposition of Mafia's tax collector Ignazio Salvo, one of the most powerful links between the criminal organisation and politics: his arrival in court dramatically symbolises how the caste of "untouchables" in Palermo no longer exist.
