Borsellino Case: Four Police Officers Indicted for Obstructing Justice

Accused of Providing False Testimonies in Investigation Into 1992 Palermo Massacre

A new trial will take place in connection with the 1992 bombing in Palermo that killed Judge Paolo Borsellino and five members of his police escort. The judge in Caltanissetta has decided to indict four police officers—Giuseppe Di Gangi, Vincenzo Maniscaldi, Angelo Tedesco, and Maurizio Zerilli—on charges of obstructing justice. They are accused of giving false testimonies in a previous case regarding false investigative leads in the Borsellino murder investigation. The previous trial, which ended in June 2024 due to statute of limitations, involved police officials accused of creating false leads, and the four officers now face allegations of lying under oath.
