The Supreme Court has declared inadmissible the appeal of the boss Vincenzo Virga, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of the journalist Mauro Rostagno. The judges of Section V also sentenced the mafia boss to pay the court costs. Thus becomes definitive the sentence against Virga, in prison since 2001, the instigator of the ambush of Rostagno, who died on September 26, 1988. The identity of the perpetrators is still a mystery. In the previous stages of trial, in fact, the killer of the Trapani mafia, Vito Mazzara, was first convicted and then definitively acquitted. With today's provision, the Supreme Court also sentenced Virga to reimburse the representation and defense expenses incurred in the present judgment by the civil parties, to which he will have to pay 3 million euros each.
