Palermo – Giovanni Brusca, the boss of San Giuseppe Jato who operated the remote control in the Capaci massacre and ordered the dissolution in acid of little Giuseppe Di Matteo, is a free man as of today.
Last May 31, the former mafioso completed his probation, extinguishing all his debts to justice after 25 years of detention.
From Collaboration to Full Freedom: A Controversial Path
Brusca, who began collaborating with justice immediately after his arrest, has completed his legal rehabilitation. Although he continues to be escorted by the Central Protection Service, which monitors his every move, the expiration of the four years of probation has eliminated all residual obligations.
This means that abrupt he is no longer subject to the obligation to remain at home from eight in the evening to eight in the morning, nor to sign in three times a week at the Carabinieri barracks in the place where he resides.
The news of his full freedom, although with an initially “labile” practical effect due to the escort, has a notable psychological impact. The former boss, responsible for some of the most brutal crimes in Italian mafia history, will now be able to move freely, albeit under surveillance.
Only when the escort ends, he will be able to move "where and how he wants". The affair rekindles the debate on justice and the path of his collaborators, inevitably generating different reactions in public opinion and among the victims of his atrocities.

Brusca's release is a much-discussed topic. Many wonder if it is right that a person who has done so much harm can regain his freedom after such a short time. It is a complex issue.
I believe that justice should be fair and that collaborators should be judged more severely for their past crimes, especially in cases like this.
It is incredible to think that after all he has done, he can now move freely. Society needs to think about how we treat those who have caused so much suffering.
