| Summary: | When the Supreme Court confirmed the Maxi-trial, on January 30, 1992, for Cosa Nostra it was not important to
wonder whether the political referents had done everything possible to prevent it. All that mattered was that Andreotti ha d
not kept his promises. The first to pay was Salvo Lima, leader of his current in Sicily, whose murder, on March 12, sta r ted
the season of the massacre. The murder closed the long historical phase in which the relationship between Ma fia a nd the
institutions had been centered on the DC. With this article I propose to reconstruct the judicial conseq uences: f r om tha t
moment on, the pentiti’s confessions would have shed light on his forty-year role of mediation, paving the way for
Andreotti’s indictment for external complicity in mafia association.
