The history of agriculture robbed, of a mafia that has collected millions of euros of European contributions thanks to the lands of the Parco dei Nebrodi, and beyond. Land left in a state of neglect, removed from honest farmers, who have made a fortune for mafia clans. An easy business in the substantial absence of controls, a whirling round of money, broken by the President of the Nebrodi Park, Giuseppe Antoci, thanks to the Legality Protocol, the so-called "Anti-Protocol". A work of strong contrast to the mafias, a path of legality that from those Nebrodis has started going up the boot, to become the country's heritage, the law of the State.
It is the "mafia of the pastures" that gives the title to the book that Antoci has written four hands with the journalist Nuccio Anselmo presented on Monday 20 May in Naples in the Antisala of the Barons of the Maschio Angioino within the initiative promoted by Fisac ​​Cgil Campania , Flai Cgil Campania and Advisora, the professional community that operates in the judicial administration of seized and confiscated assets and companies.
Antoci met the students of the Profagri institute of Angri and Sarno - involved through a memorandum of understanding in the management of the confiscated asset "Nicola Nappo Agricultural Fund" of Scafati, granted to the Ats "Terra Viva" in collaboration with the Alpaa and the CGIL - and participated in the round table on "Legality, economic development and Southern Italy" and the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Advisora ​​and the CGIL, aimed at a common action on the issues of legality education, re-use for social purposes of assets and companies seized and confiscated from the mafia and, more generally, of the fight against organized crime.
The initiative follows the ceremonies of the MEDITERRANEAN AWARD that the Fondazione Mediterraneo has awarded to Antoci, to general Angelosanto, to the memory of Luciano Tavazza and to Annella Prisco.
