seemed a vested right, made a conquest, but now thirteen years later it continues to struggle against those who want to allow the mafia to reclaim their confiscated property.
Don Ciotti has launched an appeal and began collecting signatures to prevent the spade betrayed the commitment of those who wanted, fought, died for saying no to the Mafia. Don Ciotti
Explain: An amendment introduced in the Senate Finance Law provides for the sale of confiscated property that you can not allocate within three to six months. It 's easy to imagine, thanks to notes of the mafia organizations ability to mask their presence, who will come forward to buy villas, houses and land belonging to the boss and that serve as symbols of their power, built with violence, blood, harassment, until the intervention of the state.
The sale of these goods will mean only one thing: that the Government give in to the difficulties of their full and effective social re-use, as required by law. And the return of those goods in shipment of the clan to which they were stolen, thanks the work of law enforcement and the judiciary, will have a disruptive effect on the credibility of the institutions.
For these reasons, we urge the Government and Parliament to reconsider and withdraw the amendment on the sale of confiscated property.
It strengthens, rather, the action of those investigating to find the wealth of the clan. Reforms be introduced social rules that facilitate the reuse of goods and is given practical effect to the rule that states the confiscation of property to the corrupt. It will be primarily allocated to the families of victims and witnesses of justice mafia money and resources stolen from the mafia. But we do not sell those seized assets representing the sign of the redemption of an Italy civil, honest and courageous. Because these goods are really all "our thing".
Thirteen years ago, in this land of the south, we looked to the future with hope and the pages of the JOURNAL OF THE SOUTH told what was happening. I think it's useful to repeat the piece published March 29, 1996.
did not believe anybody was going to happen. One thing are the words, even the most hard against the mafias, against the clan, another thing is to take his "stuff", confiscate property and wealth. And instead, despite all the difficulties, the parliament approved the law 109 "Regulations on the management and allocation of assets seized or confiscated", commissioned and supported by the "Free".
It 's a very important moment for civil society and the achievement for "Free" is an important goal. The possibility afforded by the law of the destination for social and institutional assets confiscated from the mafia could lead to the conversion of entire estates, built illegally, a tool for all forms of lawlessness. Under the new law the property seized may be retained in the heritage of the State for purposes of justice, public order and civil protection or can be transferred into the wealth of the municipalities where the properties are located and assigned in granting free of charge to communities, to institutions, to charities or therapeutic communities and rehabilitation centers and treatment of addicts. It 'also planned, with the money confiscated cash, the establishment of a fund at the District Courts for the provision of grants to finance even a part of projects relating to the management for institutional, social or public interest or confiscated property to finance projects relating to specific activities such as rehabilitation of degraded urban areas, prevention and recovery of hardship and marginalization, the intervention in schools for education courses to law and the promotion of entrepreneurial activities for unemployed youth.
E 'must therefore impoverish Mafias, return the money and assets to local communities that have paid the price of backwardness produced by the mafia, so use them for social purposes. With this new law is possible, but since there are significant weaknesses in the institutions responsible for implementing the 109, "Free" has seen fit to establish a Regional Observatory on confiscated property, and the project was presented in the hall of the Municipal Council by the president of Don Luigi Ciotti, along with the mayors of Calabria: Doris Lo Moro di Lamezia Terme, Domenico Panetta Siderno, Girolamo Tripodi, Italo Falcomatà Reggio, Julie Quattrone to set the city e Marino Giuseppe per Libera Calabria.
“Poiché gli uffici misure di prevenzione presso i tribunali competenti per territorio”, ha detto Don Ciotti, “sono sforniti di personale e di supporti informatici e quindi non esiste, in Calabria, alcun elenco dei beni confiscati; non esiste alcun collegamento effettivo e stabile tra questi uffici, l’ufficio del territorio del Ministero delle Finanze e le Prefetture, organi deputati alla gestione ed al controllo sui beni confiscati; l’entità dei beni confiscati ed il loro valore restano indeterminati, non esistendo alcun centro per la raccolta dei dati e poiché il meccanismo procedurale per l’emanazione del provvedimento ministeriale di destinazione dei beni si è proved long and cumbersome, we decided to establish the Centre, to avert the risk of completely nullify the scope of the new law. "
Don Ciotti said that with the help of all the associations and groups participating in Freedom, set up a database for listing and final estimate of the confiscated goods, will provide assistance to municipalities and other entities to identify and the destination of the goods to be used and above will play a monitoring task on the correct operation of law by the proposals, complaints and use of all legal instruments available to the community for open government and the acceleration of procedures bureaucracy.
And this is an important initiative of Free as there is a point on which the mafia that does not compromise the protection and possession of their property. Remove the wealth, the treasures to clans means to hit them in their own prestige and military power, and that men of honor can not stand it. So ensure that once assigned the confiscated property there are intimidated by the boss is really important, so that the law does not remain only on paper but is actually used.
In the single province of Reggio has been estimated that from 1982 to 1993 1893 assets were seized, confiscated 512, 70 release from seizure for a total of 337,692 millions of pounds which have not yet been fully converted.
Falcomatà fact the mayor, speaking at the debate, recalled how the assets of some of the most powerful gangs Reggina who were acquired by the municipality by a resolution in June 1995 and intended for public and social as the ground-up to the school Mottareale, yet were not used for that block all the paperwork.
order for this not to happen again is born now the Regional Observatory on assets, an essential tool that we hope will work, but stakeholders say they will not stop here, in June they will be a new seminar with government representatives to put a punto una serie di iniziative per adeguare ancora negli gli strumenti e le leggi in questo settore, e iniziare la battaglia anche per i beni da confiscare ai corrotti.
