| | |  Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Mani pulite - Extension of Anti-corruption InvestigationsIn the 1992 elections, the DC party lost many votes, but managed to keep a small majority, while the opposition gained votes. There was however no opposition leadership, and many votes went to Lega Nord, a party that was not inclined to alliances at the time. The resulting parliament was therefore weak and difficult to bring to an agreement, and new elections arrived as soon as 1994.
During April 1992, many industrial figures and politicians, especially from the majority parties but also from the opposition, were arrested with charges ...

Main article: Gladio in Italy
In 2000, a Parliament Commission report from the "Gruppo Democratici di Sinistra l'Ulivo" concluded that the strategy of tension had been supported by the United States to "stop the PCI, and to a certain degree also the PSI, from reaching executive power in the country". A 2000 Senate report, stated that "Those massacres, those bombs, those military actions had been organized or promoted or support ...

A total of 474 defendants were facing charges, although 119 of them were to be tried in absentia as they were fugitives and still on the run (Salvatore Riina was one of these absent defendants.)

| | | | Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Operation Gladio - The Order of the Solar Temple mystery It has been alleged by various sources, among whom François-Xavier Verschave, a critic of French colonialism, that the "collective suicides" allegedly committed by various Order of the Solar Temple (OST) members, in December 1995 in the Vercors region of France, were connected to Gladio. The thesis of the suicide has been heavily contested by family of the victims Alain Vuarnet, René and Muguette Rostan, Willy and Giséla Schleimer and their lawyer, Alain Leclerc. According to a Reuters cable dated March 22, 2004 (19:03:46), the la ...

Operation Gladio - Finland.
In 1945, Interior Minister Leino exposes a secret stay-behind army which is closed down. In 1991, the media reveals in Sweden that a secret stay-behind army existed in neutral Finland with an exile base in Stockholm. Finnish Defence Minister Elisabeth Rehn calls the revelations "a fairy tale", adding cautiously "or at least an incredible story, of which I know nothing." [8].

| | | | Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Operation Gladio - A NATO clandestine structure overseen by the SHAPE After World War II, the UK and the US decided to create "stay-behind" paramilitary organizations, with the official aim of countering a possible Sovietic invasion through sabotage and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Arms caches were disposed, escape routes prepared, and loyal members recruited: i.e. mainly hardline anticommunists, including a lot of Ex-Nazis or former fascists, whether in Italy or in other European countries. In Germany, for example, Gladio had as central axe the Gehlen Org - also involved in ODESSA "ratlines"-, named ...

| | | | Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Maxi Trial - Aftermath In January 1992, Falcone and Borsellino managed to take charge of further Maxi Trial appeals. Not only did they turn many appeals down, they reversed previous successful ones, resulting in many Mafiosi who had recently swaggered out of prison after their convictions were overturned being unceremoniously rounded up and put back behind bars, in many cases for the rest of their lives. This naturally angered the Mafia bosses, particularly Salvatore Riina, who had been hoping his in absentia sentence for murder would be reversed and allow him to retire in ...

| | | | Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Mani pulite - The Cusani trial On July 20, 1993, the former Eni president, Gabriele Cagliari, committed suicide in jail. His wife later gave back $3 million of illegal funds. Meanwhile, the trial on Sergio Cusani begun. Mr. Cusani was accused of crimes connected to a joint venture between Eni and Montedison, named Enimont. It was broadcast on national television, and was a sort of showcase of the old politics being brought to their responsibilities. While Cusani was no big figure himself, the connection of his crimes to the Enimont affair called in ...

| | | | Salvatore Riina: Encyclopedia II - Operation Gladio - Introduction Gladio has effectively been accused of trying to influence policies through the means of "false flags" operations: a 2000 Parliament Commission report from the Olive Tree (left-wing) coalition concluded that the strategy of tension followed by Gladio had been supported by the United States to "stop the PCI, and to a certain degree also the PSI [Italian Socialist Party], from reaching executive power in the country".
P2, whose existence was discovered in 1981, was closely linked to Gladio.
