Boccassini "accomplice" of Falcone for trips to the USA. He blocked the controls
From the autobiography of Ilda Boccassini new facts emerge that cause discussion. In addition to his love affair with judge Giovanni Falcone, who died at the hands of the mafia in the Capaci massacre, other details emerge on the type of relationship the two had. On the trip to Washington of the Palermo judge at the end of April 1992, the subject of investigations after Falcone's death, it emerged that it was Ilda Boccassini, - we read in the Giornale - as owner of the investigations, who prohibited his papers from being checked credit, which would have made it possible to ascertain the existence of the trip. He did so in order not to invade Falcone's private sphere, as he would testify to Borsellino quater many years later.
To understand the importance of that trip, - continues the Journal - we must go back to March 18, 1992, when a circular from the Sisde was distributed to all the prefects. The document hypothesized an alleged destabilization plan for Italy hatched abroad with attacks from March to July. And it was spread because a week earlier, on March 12, Salvo Lima had been killed. It was then that Falcone told the Minister of Justice Claudio Martelli that he would go to America to see Tommaso Buscetta, for the relations that the repentant claimed to have had with Lima. Ilda Boccassini, on 21 January 2014, in Caltanissetta, defined that she had verified that the trip was "a lie", but not even she said where he had been between 28 April and 2 May 1992. "I did not think he should be the object of investigations, an obsessive search for his records, credit cards, trips made ".
