Cosa Nostra siciliana e la 'ndrangheta calabrese da tempo immemorabile e costantemente fino ai nostri giorni nutrono e coltivano un accentuato interesse nei confronti della massoneria. [...] Da parte delle associazioni massoniche si è registrata una sorta di arrendevolezza nei confronti della mafia. Sono i casi, certamente i più ricorrenti, in cui si riscontra una forma di mera tolleranza che si rivelano i più preoccupanti.

The National Mourning for Berlusconi is inappropriate and misplaced. [...] I think that national mourning should be reserved for personalities who have united the country and not for those who have divided it, for people who have distinguished themselves for particular achievements, for personalities of art and culture, for those who have sacrificed their lives for the country. But I find national mourning inappropriate for a Prime Minister who was much loved but who was also capable of not being loved by others. And who was divisive on fundamental issues, such as the sense of institutions, respect for the Constitution, respect for women, the country's image around the world. Why the national mourning? Why should all the country's institutions have a flag at half-mast and Parliament be stopped? [...] We are in a phase of sanctification, carried out by its TV stations but also by RAI, which is not good for the country and does not correspond to the truth.

The first results of our work show that among the names of the members of the Masonic Lodges of Calabria and Sicily, there are some who have been sentenced for 416 bis, i.e. for mafia association, and a considerable number of judicial situations in progress, defendants, remanded for trial, both of mafia crimes and of what we commonly call the spy crimes of mafia behaviour or in any case of collusion with the mafia. [...] For us, this investigation is very important, especially because we are talking about a sort of new mafia organisation that brings together pieces of the mafia, pieces of Freemasonry, the State, and the ruling classes of our country.

I primi risultati del nostro lavoro dimostrano che tra i nominativi degli iscritti alle logge massoniche della Calabria e della Sicilia, ci sono alcuni condannati per 416 bis, quindi per associazione mafiosa, e un numero considerevole di situazioni giudiziarie in itinere, imputati, rinviati a giudizio, sia di reati di mafia che di quelli che comunemente chiamiamo i reati spia di comportamenti mafiosi o comunque di collusione con la mafia. [...] Per noi è molto importante questa inchiesta soprattutto perché si parla di una sorta di nuova organizzazione delle mafie che vede insieme pezzi delle mafie, pezzi della massoneria, dello Stato, delle classi dirigenti del nostro Paese.
