4 cops indicted for Borsellino cover-up

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 15 - Four police officers were indicted Friday for allegedly committing perjury to cover up and misdirect a probe into the 1992 Cosa Nostra assassination of anti-Mafia prosecutor Paolo Borsellino.
    Giuseppe Di Gangi, Vincenzo Maniscaldi, Angelo Tedesco and Maurizio Zerilli have been charged with obstruction of justice by allegedly lying as witnesses in a trial into the alleged misdirection which ended with the timing out of charges against three colleagues of theirs: Mario Bo, Fabrizio Mattei and Michele Ribaudo.
    The first hearing in the fresh trial has been set for December 17.
    On July 19, 1992 the Via d'Amelio Cosa Nostra bombing too place in Palermo in which Borsellino and five members of his security detail were murdered: Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina and Claudio Traina.
    The attack took place just two months after the Mafia assassination of Borsellino's friend and colleague Giovanni Falcone, as well as his wife Francesca Morvillo and police officers Rocco Dicillo, Antonio Montinaro and Vito Schifani by a huge bomb detonated under their cars on the Palermo-airport highway.
