<p class="x_MsoNormal"><br>
<br>
A distanza di appena cinque giorni dal 34° anniversario<br>
dell'assassinio di Rosario Livatino sento oggi il dovere morale di<br>
ricordare il sacrifico di un altro giudice siciliano, Antonino Saetta,<br>
presidente della Corte di assise di appello di Palermo, anch'egli di<br>
Canicattì come Rosario, e come lui ucciso, insieme al figlio Stefano,<br>
mentre percorreva la stessa SS 640 a pochi chilometri da Caltanissetta<br>
per fare rientro a Palermo nella tarda serata del 25 settembre 1988.<br>
Lo voglio ricordare, a distanza di 36 anni, perchè Saetta,<br>
appartenente alla schiera dei primi magistrati giudicanti uccisi da<br>
"Cosa Nostra", è un eroe civile poco noto e quasi dimenticato.<br>
Lo voglio ricordare soprattutto per i colleghi più giovani che nel<br>
1988 erano nati solo da qualche anno.<br>
Ho conosciuto la statura morale del presidente Saetta solo<br>
attraverso lo studio delle carte processuali, avendo avuto l'onore di<br>
presiedere la corte di assise di Caltanissetta che ha condannato i<br>
mandanti Salvatore Riina e Francesco Madonia, ed un esecutore<br>
materiale, Pietro Ribisi.<br>
E' giusto ricordare, per rendere onore al suo altissimo senso del<br>
dovere e dello Stato, che in esito alle indagini preliminari ed alla<br>
istruttoria dibattimentale, come risulta dalla motivazione della<br>
sentenza che ho redatto, fu accertato che con l'uccisione del dr.<br>
Antonino Saetta, "cosa nostra" volle perseguire una duplice finalità.<br>
Innanzitutto vendicarsi nei confronti di un giudice che non aveva<br>
voluto piegarsi in più occasioni alle intimidazioni ed alle richieste<br>
di "cosa nostra".<br>
Il presidente Saetta aveva presieduto la Corte di Assise di appello<br>
che dopo un tormentato iter processuale, fortemente condizionato da<br>
molteplici tentativi di "aggiustamento" dei precedenti giudizi, aveva<br>
condannato, in sede di rinvio dalla cassazione, gli esecutori<br>
materiali dell'omicidio del capitano Emanuele Basile, ucciso a<br>
Monreale nel maggio del 1980, Giuseppe Madonia, figlio di Francesco e<br>
figlioccio d Riina, Armando Bonanno e Puccio Vincenzo.<br>
Molteplici fonti probatorie, fra le quali anche collaboratori di<br>
giustizia, rivelarono che alcuni giudici popolari erano stati<br>
contattati tramite le famiglie mafiose dei rispettivi luoghi di<br>
residenza e che quegli stessi giudici popolari avevano successivamente<br>
fatto sapere a chi li aveva avvicinati che il presidente Saetta si era<br>
imposto in camera di consiglio affermando di non essere disposto ad<br>
emettere una sentenza di assoluzione in presenza di un grave quadro<br>
probatorio nei confronti degli imputati.<br>
Appare univocamente significativa la seguente cronologia: la<br>
sentenza fu emessa il 23 giugno 1988, il successivo 16 settembre fu<br>
depositata la motivazione e a distanza di appena 9 giorni fu eseguito<br>
l'agguato che costò la vita al presidente ed al figlio Stefano che gli<br>
sedeva accanto.<br>
Il secondo obiettivo, processualmente accertato, era quello di<br>
prevenire il pericolo che un giudice che aveva dato prova di essere<br>
integerrimo ed inavvicinabile presiedesse la Corte di Assise di<br>
appello nel processo a carico di Abbate Giovanni + 459, quello che<br>
ormai è storicamente noto come il primo maxi- processo a Cosa Nostra<br>
istruito da Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino.<br>
La convinzione che si era diffusa in "cosa nostra" era fondata,<br>
perchè effettivamente il maxiprocesso era stato assegnato alla prima<br>
sezione della Corte di assise di appello di Palermo che era presieduta<br>
proprio dal presidente Saetta, il quale nei primi giorni di settembre<br>
del 1988 era stato ufficiosamente incaricato della trattazione di quel<br>
dibattimento.<br>
La sua intransigenza morale era, peraltro, ben nota a "cosa nostra"<br>
fin dal 1985 allorchè aveva personalmente respinto ogni tentativo di<br>
avvicinamento per condizionare l'esito del primo processo per la<br>
strage di via Pipitone Federico in cui perse la vita il consigliere<br>
istruttore di Palermo Rocco Chinnici, tentativo segnalato dallo stesso<br>
presidente Saetta all'allora comandante della compagnia dei<br>
carabinieri di Canicattì.<br>
Il processo si concluse con la condanna di Michele Greco, detto il<br>
papa, Greco Salvatore ed altri.<br>
E' appena il caso di sottolineare l'importanza che rivestiva per<br>
"cosa nostra" evitare che il giudizio di appello del maxiprocesso<br>
fosse presieduto dal dr. Saetta: prevenire il pericolo che si<br>
consolidassero determinati principi giurisprudenziali che erano stati<br>
affermati per la prima volta nella sentenza di primo grado, con<br>
particolare riguardo al riconoscimento della unitarietà e della<br>
struttura verticistica di "cosa nostra", e ciò anche in relazione alla<br>
responsabilità della "commissione" per i delitti cosiddetti<br>
“eccellenti” ed in genere per quelli corrispondenti ad un interesse<br>
strategico della organizzazione come quelli della c.d. guerra di<br>
mafia; principi che sarebbero stati definitivamente affermati dalla I<br>
sezione della Corte di Cassazione con la sentenza n. 30 del 30/1/1992<br>
Per molti aspetti l'assassinio del presidente Saetta e del figlio<br>
Stefano ha rappresentato, oltre che un vendetta, anche un delitto con<br>
chiara finalità intimidatoria di natura "esemplare" nei confronti di<br>
magistrati con funzioni giudicanti.<br>
Al presidente Antonino Saetta ed al figlio Stefano va la nostra<br>
immensa gratitudine ed il commosso ricordo.<br>
