Vincenzo Agostino, a father who fought for justice for the death of his son Nino, was mourned at the age of 87. Nino, a policeman, was murdered by the mafia in 1989 along with his pregnant wife Ida Castelluccio. The case was initially classified as a murder of passion, but it was later revealed that Nino was hunting fugitives of Cosa Nostra. The Madonia gang had connections with important members of the police forces, which led to the murder. Vincenzo and his wife Augusta Schiera tirelessly sought the truth and Vincenzo vowed not to shave his beard until justice was served. Vincenzo's story was told in a docufilm titled 'I know who you are'. The truth made progress as a justice collaborator reported contacts between former policeman Giovanni 'monster face' Aiello and the bosses Madonia and Scotto, with Scotto being considered the instigator of the Agostino murder. President Mattarella expressed condolences for Vincenzo's death and praised his commitment against mafia crimes and his search for the truth. [f693d04a]
