Palermo, 26 June (LaPresse) – This morning, searches were carried out in three homes of former Caltanissetta prosecutor Giovanni Tinebra in the provinces of Caltanissetta and Catania. The investigation concerns the cover-up following the Via D'Amelio massacre, conducted by the Carabinieri ROS on behalf of the Caltanissetta Public Prosecutor's Office led by Salvatore De Luca. This is a criminal proceeding against persons unknown for the crimes of mass murder and cover-up committed in Palermo on the day of the massacre. Tinebra was responsible for conducting the investigation immediately following the Via D'Amelio massacre. From the analysis of statements made over the years by several collaborators of justice, combined with a re-examination of the results of criminal proceedings in other districts, a number of elements have been acquired that have brought to light concrete evidence of the presence of a secret Masonic lodge in the city of Nicosia in the province of Enna, of which the former prosecutor Tinebra, who worked in the public prosecutor's office in Nicosia from 1969 to 1992, was also a member.In particular, the statements made by the state witness Gioacchino Pennino, who had already stated in 1998: '…as regards the birth of the “Terzo Oriente”, he reiterates his previous statements, specifying how the latter structure arose from the ashes of P2 and how, like P2, it sought to affiliate all those whose Masonic membership could not be made public, in order to create an organisation capable of wielding power above the parties and the government. The main people who spoke to him about this organisation were Giuseppe Lisotta, a doctor and cousin of Vito Ciancimino, and Antonino Schifaudo, who explicitly told him that they belonged to the “Third East” and gave him the names of some affiliated persons, in particular: (…omissis…), Antonino Cinà, a doctor whom he mentioned in detail in other statements, the entrepreneur Buscemi and other people'.
