against the mafia in a process initiated by Paolo Borsellino.
A new identity and a life that sees only the bureaucracy interview witness to justice Piera Aiello
witness and I do not regret
After 17 years, Piera Aiello still lives under police protection. It is a witness to justice, not a regret mafia. A woman who in 1991 turned naturally to the judiciary to tell what they knew, allowing the arrest of dozens of mobsters and the opening of examples of the investigation on interaction between the Mafia and politics in the area in western Sicily Partanna . A month dall'anniversario the death of Rita Atria, her sister and herself witness to justice who committed suicide in 1992 shortly after the massacre in via D'Amelio, recounts his experience of "protection" by providing a framework which was the model applied in recent years by the State to protect and help those who have chosen voluntarily to testify. He began his career as a witness of Justice Paolo Borsellino, a period in which the state was probably not yet ready to face the "management" of a very large number of witnesses and was under the direct management of one or another magistrate or officer.
Has anything changed since that time?
I entered the protection program when there was still the high commissioner, a system that I lived for a short time. Difficult to judge its management. I just think that you were left with a "problem" witnesses and regretted that they did not know and certainly not easy to resolve so much so that soon after formed the central security which, in my opinion, has not solved anything. Within the service have put the officials who have taken exams for admission as police, policemen, financiers, without thinking that perhaps needed even psychologists, educational psychologists, in short, someone who would help overcome the trauma of exile and loss identity. My feeling has always been that did not distinguish between employees and witnesses. Yet there is a big difference. When there was "Uncle" Paul - so called, affectionately, the judge Borsellino - many times these get upset if something was wrong in the relationship between us and the service, he just called to attention, place all. Many of them still call us collaborators of justice, no distinction. The media often fuel the misunderstanding between the "collaborator" and "witness" of justice. According to her, the authorities dealing with issues of "protection" are able to make the right difference?
As I said before there is confusion between repentance and witnesses, and the media are no different. On many occasions, officials of the service, Mr Mantovano, and many others, have argued that the witness should be managed. Managed? We are not animals who can not fend for themselves, but we want a hand we tend to take us to new life. Apparently they think we are contagious and is easier to stay clear. How plague. I also think that with the right people it can be solved, but there are always twists and turns of these officials. I am a witness for seventeen years and frankly I have not seen yet a worthy solution to the problem.
has found itself having to deal with many aspects of his life "under protection", including those of "no identity", fiscal, health, et cetera. What did it mean for you in terms of psychological and human? And in strictly practical terms, from health to school like normal administration, registration, tax, estate, assicurazioni? Vivere senza identità è una cosa che può portare alla follia. Inventarsi il proprio nome e cognome per anni e dover spiegare a mia figlia che non doveva rivelare il suo vero nome alle amichette non era una cosa banale. Per quasi sette anni sono stata un fantasma, non votavo, non avevo un medico, non sapevo a chi rivolgermi se mi succedeva qualcosa. Non trovare nessuno quando hai bisogno è a dir poco drammatico. Mi sono cercata un prestanome, poi sono riuscita a mettermi in contatto con
Nadia
Furnari dell'associazione antimafia "Rita Atria" che per tre anni mi ha prestato i documenti, ad esempio il codice fiscale per farmi fare le ricevute. Siccome una serie di beni erano intestati a Nadia we considered it appropriate to the central autodenunciarci as anyone without a special permit may be in a secret location to see me. When we went to the service center to pick up the final documents is an amazing thing happened, I could not believe my ears. They wished him good luck to Nadia
and not to me. I enrolled my daughter to school alone, thanks to a director father, mafia no, to whom I explained my position and my daughter had the right to education. The central security has noticed that there was when my daughter was already in third grade. In his many years under police protection, has seen governments change, civil servants and managers. What has changed and how much "politics" as she looked so delicate influence of justice?
Whenever you install a new government had to start again. We started practice with upcoming conclusions. Then I had to stop and start all over again. I lived governments and the center-of-center but I can assure you that nothing changes, everything gets worse. We have defined the old cancer. There is no need to explain how you might feel to be so defined. You can imagine my state of mind because I believe I have given their lives for justice and for the Italian State. I screamed that the witness is a human being, not politics, but as always do not want to hear. This is why I ask shout about with me, with us, we are not politics! published on the Left - events
