Ruoppolo Teleacras - "Sono Maria Concetta Riina"

The report by Angelo Ruoppolo Teleacras Agrigento ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Angelo-... ) from January 28, 2009. Maria Concetta Riina, eldest daughter of the Boss of Bosses, speaks to the press for the first time, exclusively to Attilio Bolzoni for La Repubblica. Here is the text: He, Giovanni, is in prison serving a life sentence for mafia and murder. He, Giuseppe, is serving a remaining sentence of 3 years and 1 month for mafia association. She, their youngest daughter, Lucia, was married in Corleone last July 23. Here are some photos of the wedding to Vincenzo Bellomo, the same name Totò Riina wrote on his fake ID while on the run: "Vincenzo Bellomo, accountant from Mazara." She is Maria Concetta, Riina's eldest daughter. She, 34 years old, known to her friends as Mari, is married to him, Toni Ciaravello, a former DJ at a private radio station in Corleone. Maria Concetta has lived in Corleone since January 16, 1993, the day after her father's arrest, and recalls: "We always knew who we were: we knew we were fugitives because my father was accused of all those murders. But for me, the Mafia was far removed from what I experienced at home. I heard what they said about us, but it was as if it didn't belong to me." "My father taught me manners, morality, and respect." Maria Concetta has three young children, Gian Salvo, Maria Lucia, and Gabriele, and it is for them that she is now speaking to the press for the first time: "I have no problem talking about the Mafia, but what I say can be misinterpreted, because I am the daughter of a boss." Maria Concetta Riina and the difficulties of the Boss of Bosses' fugitive status: "We were like ghosts, and now the problem for us is finding a job; everyone is afraid of being considered colluders. My husband, Toni Ciaravello, has had his prison sentence revoked." Driver's license. He doesn't have a job. And neither do I. I started working, in Palermo and Milan, but only until they found out who I was. Then his relationship with his father: "I often went to visit him in prison, but now it's complicated. I have three children, and my father's conditions are worse than the normal 41 bis prison sentence." Then the conclusion: "I don't want to judge trials and sentences. One day, maybe I'll leave Corleone."
