SPATUZZA AL PROCESSO BAIARDO: “GRAVIANO MI DISSE CHE AVEVAMO IL PAESE NELLE MANI”

In this video, we listen to the original audio from the July 8, 2026, hearing in the trial against Salvatore Baiardo, before the Court of Florence. The subject of the deposition is Gaspare Spatuzza, a collaborator with justice and former member of the Brancaccio mafia family. During the examination, Spatuzza reconstructs his criminal career within Cosa Nostra, his relationship with the Graviano brothers, and his role in the 1990s massacres. The deposition addresses some of the most serious moments in the history of Cosa Nostra: Capaci, Via d'Amelio, the attack on Maurizio Costanzo, the Georgofili massacre, the attacks in Rome and Milan, and the failed attack on the Stadio Olimpico. Spatuzza recounts his operational contribution, the preparatory meetings, the selection of targets, and the role attributed to Giuseppe Graviano in the massacre strategy. One of the key moments concerns the meeting at the Doney bar on Via Veneto in Rome, before the failed attack on the Olimpico stadium. According to Spatuzza, Giuseppe Graviano was "extremely happy" and said that "we had achieved what we were looking for," referring to Berlusconi, Dell'Utri, and the search for new political interlocutors. The hearing also discusses the alleged connections between the Gravianos and the economic and political world, with references to the Brancaccio Standa, the billboards, and the presence of interests linked to the Graviano family in the Palermo area. Finally, Spatuzza is questioned directly about Salvatore Baiardo. The collaborator states that he has never met him, has never received money from him, and knows nothing about any personal relationship with him. His testimony therefore focuses primarily on the Gravianos, the period of the massacres, and the alleged political connections evoked in the trial.
