Maxi Trial: The Day the Mafia Fell in Sicily


To understand the Maxi Trial, we need to step back to the early 1980s. Sicily was drowning in blood. Judges, police chiefs, and even politicians were gunned down in broad daylight. Ordinary people lived with the constant fear that speaking out could cost them their lives. The Mafia wasn’t just a criminal group—it was an invisible government that ruled through intimidation and silence.
Amid this chaos, one man had a radical idea. Judge Rocco Chinnici believed the fight against Cosa Nostra couldn’t depend on lone investigators. Too many had been killed working in isolation. His solution was simple but powerful: a collective front, where magistrates would share information and protect each other by spreading responsibility. This became the Antimafia Pool. After Chinnici was assassinated in 1983, Judge Antonino Caponnetto took charge, bringing in brilliant prosecutors like Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Together, they turned scattered investigations into a unified assault on the Mafia’s empire.”
