Chapter 6
Gilberto Falco was once a famous prosecutor who represented Italy and captured countless gangsters. That reputation made an about-face with the events of this trial. Instead, he became known as a man who captured, intimidated, and forced confessions out of innocents. His crimes sent tremors through the Italian justice system like nothing had before.
Due to Pollo’s confession, a second investigation was opened into the case of the people who had been arrested for suspected ties to Passione. The previous investigation had been primarily spearheaded by Falco; much of the gathered evidence was rendered void out of a lack of confidence. By the trial’s end, nearly all 32 of the defendants were declared not guilty and released.
Thus ended the great trial. The true scale of Passione would remain utterly shrouded in mystery.
