' Brusca, who was imprisoned for 25 years after confessing to involvement in over 100 murders, was released from prison in 2021 at age 64. In his autobiography, he displayed no remorse for his crimes, and according to Daily Express - World, Giovanni Brusca described never being upset by such acts, unlike some former Mafiosi who express disgust. The abduction targeted Santino Di Matteo, a former Mafia associate living under police protection, to prevent him from testifying in the trial of anti-Mafia judge Giovanni Falcone.
Brusca had previously planted half a tonne of explosives under a motorway near Palermo in 1992, targeting Falcone, who died in the car bomb attack alongside his wife and three bodyguards. Falcone had presided over the 1986 'maxi trial' that convicted 342 mafiosi. The exact location where Giuseppe was held captive and the specific evidence Santino possessed remain unknown, as do the legal grounds for Brusca's release and the full list of other individuals involved.
Get rid of the puppy.
I've dissolved bodies in acid; I've roasted corpses on big grills; I've buried the remains after digging graves with an earthmover.
Some pentiti [former Mafiosi] say today they feel disgust for what they did. I can speak for myself: I've never been upset by these things.
