Sicily, Totò Cuffaro: “I was a vote swinger. My way of doing politics”
The union in Sicily between Forza Italia and Italia Viva it brought to the surface a figure of a politician who had ended up somewhat in the shadows because of his troubles with justice. Behind the operation that sees Marcello Dell’Utri at the head of the mediation, there would also be the former president of the Region of Sicily from 2011 to 2008. Convicted by vote of exchange, who seeks involvement to build his DC. He was definitively sentenced to seven years of imprisonment for personal aiding and abetting towards people belonging to Cosa Nostra and disclosure of secret investigations. Imprisoned in the Roman prison of Rebibbia from 22 January 2011, he returned to freedom on 13 December 2015.
“True – Totò Cuffaro confesses to Fatto Quotidiano – I was the ras of the clientele. It was my way of doing politics: helping, accepting, offering, and even exchanging. Now I have freed myself from that condition of mine. I am not eligible, I have lost my rights. Now I continue to work for a new DC, but I do it for the sake of politics. Prison and Covid have changed me. I like politics too much. It is a thread that trains you to exist and the DC is the perfect center “.
