Falcone, Borsellino mural in Rome defaced

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 24 - A mural in Rome dedicated to slain anti-mafia crusading judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino was defaced with painted slogans and the A for anarchy symbol overnight Tuesday.
    Police are viewing CCTV footage to see if they can catch the culprits.
    The mural was defaced with red paint in Piazza Bologna.
    "This is an unacceptable act of vandalism and thuggery," said Rome Culture Councillor Miguel Gotor, of the ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD).
    Friends and colleagues Falcone and Borsellino were killed by Cosa Nostra bombs in the spring-summer of 1992.
    On July 19 this year, Italy marked the 30th anniversary of the Via d'Amelio Cosa Nostra bombing in Palermo in which anti-mafia magistrate Paolo Borsellino and five members of his security detail were murdered.
    Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina were the names of the bodyguards.
    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.
