Maxi - The Great Trial Against Mafia

Many months have passed since the Palermo maxi-trial began. The atmosphere is even more tense after the killing of Nino D'Uva, a lawyer from Messina killed during another Mafia-related trial. Prosecutors keeps their stance strong, and even statements from some of the most prominent defendant, such as Michele Greco and Luciano Liggio, fail to change the course of things. The trial becomes more and more the symbol of the wounds, and of the desire of redemption of the city of Palermo, with the deposition of Mafia's tax collector Ignazio Salvo, one of the most powerful links between the criminal organisation and politics: his arrival in court dramatically symbolises how the caste of "untouchables" in Palermo no longer exists.
