In 1992, aware that the two magistrates were without the complete support of the Italian government, the Mafia assassinated them. In death they were hailed as national heroes; the massive public outcry demanded their investigations be completed. The outcome: the toppling of crucial alliances that had forged political rule in Italy since WWII and the criminal indictment of Italy's most prominent leaders.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: BiographyRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
