In 1986, the Italian justice system launched a counter-offensive, with the Palermo prosecutor's office leading the charge. <a href="https://gangstersinc.org/profiles/blogs/three-good-men-and-their-fight-to-the-death-against-the-sicilian" target="_blank">Judge Giovanni Falcone</a> became a symbol of the fight against the mafia.

Three decades on, our correspondents report on how these assassinations by Cosa Nostra sparked an awakening and an ongoing fight against the mafia.</span></p>
