Ilda Boccassini, the former Milan prosecutor now retired, is under investigation in Florence. According to the prosecutor's theory, he did not reveal a source to prosecutors Luca Turco and Luca Tescaroli, as part of an investigation that became parallel to that of the instigators of the 1993 mafia massacres.
The hypothesis formulated is that of "false information to the prosecutors" of Florence when Baccassini was interrogated in December 2021 for a leak of information dating back to 1994 regarding an article in La Repubblica by the journalist Giuseppe D'Avanzo, who died in 2011. Nell The article reported the revelations of the repentant Salvatore Cancemi on the relations between the mafia and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The former prosecutor, in his autobiographical book, had written that he had learned from D'Avanzo, a few days before his sudden death in July 2011, the source of the news published in that article signed by D'Avanzo himself in 1994. Thus, having read the volume, in December 2021 the deputy prosecutors of Florence Turco and Tescaroli had summoned her with the aim of knowing the source, considering it useful for their investigations into Berlusconi as the alleged external instigator of the mafia massacres in Florence, Rome and Milan .
In that interrogation Ilda Boccassini did not lie, she did not make false statements, but she withheld information she knew by not telling the source that D'Avanzo allegedly confided to her. The former magistrate did not respond to the question. Hence the accusation of violation of article 371 bis of the Criminal Code and the opening of the case.
