Chief Public Prosecutor in Palermo says Italian prisons are no longer controlled by the state but by organised crime groups, who are even able to arrange conference calls between inmates in different prisons and people on the outside.

Italian Civil Protection officials say they have found evidence that criminals are using cats to start deliberate wildfires. They tie cloth soaked in flammable liquid to the cats' tails, light it and release the cat in areas of tall dry grass.

Italian media give wide exposure to newest far-right party leader Roberto Vannacci, while he persistently uses openly fascist language & symbolism. Here he's wearing a chain with the symbol of 'Ordine Nuovo', a neo-fascist terrorist group involved in Piazza Fontana & Piazza della Loggia bombings.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the via D'Amelio bomb. I still reflect on this photo of Carabinieri Captain Giovanni Arcangioli walking away from the scene, with cars still burning, carrying Borsellino's briefcase containing his red diary, which then disappears. May all those concerned rot in hell.

President Mattarella summoned Italian Justice Minister Nordio after right-wing politicians, including Nordio, proposed pardoning a jeweller convicted of shooting two men dead outside his shop after they'd robbed it. Mattarella reminded him the power to pardon lies exclusively with the President.
