""Alleged" is the word. Fiandaca speaks of "so-called negotiations" and "alleged negotiations". We’re off to a good start. The State-Mafia negotiations are indisputable in legal terms, as confirmed by final rulings of the Court of Cassation on the massacres of 1992–93, as well as by the direct protagonists and witnesses, not just Mafia members: Mori and De Donno state in their official records that there were ‘negotiations’ with the leaders of Cosa Nostra via Vito Ciancimino, and not merely a ‘first contact’, as Fiandaca has them saying. He needs to face facts: if he wants to talk about negotiations, he should at least read the judgments."
