no contact between them.

They're held by different bodies.

Doesn't the theory of a plot

against you seem implausible?

Not at all.

Thank you everyone.

Of course...

all right.

We can go.

Andreotti's trial begins.

The first hearing, in what has been

called the "trial of the century",

will start at 10, tomorrow morning.

As time goes by, I'm more convinced

Andreotti is an extraterrestrial.

We haven't understood

that he belongs to a tradition

that has made the history

of the Church immortal.

He carries 2,000 years

of history inside him.

There's Christ's sacrifice,

Pope Joan,

the Inquisition, the Borgias

and diplomacy.

I'm not surprised

that Andreotti

has been marked as mandator

in the Pecorelli murder.

Probably, the issue of his magazine

with the Senator's photo on the cover

is at the root of his death.

If Andreotti had wanted to kill

everyone he found troublesome,

he'd have had to take on enemies

much greater than Pecorelli.

Maybe a whole cemetery

wouldn't have been big enough.

Talleyrand comes to mind

when you think of Andreotti.

T-A-L-L-

E-Y-R-A-N-D-

full stop.

They both had the same objective,

colon, power, full stop.

But the complexity of Andreotti's

character comma...

makes up part, comma, if one can say,

comma, of his greatness full stop.

The greatness of the enigma

full stop.

Hello Livia...

...yes, I got some sleep.

I love you too.

The Court is in session.

Be seated. We'll begin with

the representatives.

Is the defendant Giulio Andreotti

present?

Please sit down.

Defence attorneys:

Odoardo Ascari and Franco Coppi.

Have substitutes been designated?

Andreotti remained indifferent,

leaden, distant,

cocooned in his dark dream

of glory.

He'd had to further

his reactionary plan,

not disappoint the Communists,

the Germans

and who knows who else.

What was the meaning,

in the face of all this,

of the inconsolable grief

of an old spouse,

the destruction of a family?

What did all this mean

for Andreotti,

once he'd achieved the power

to do evil

just as he'd always done

evil in his life?

All this meant nothing.

THE BIG MAFIA TRIAL

The Tribunal acquits Giulio Andreotti

of Mafia association, because

there are no incriminating facts.

cannot proceed against Andreotti

for the crime

of Mafia association

committed up until Spring 1980

because it is already statute-barred.

The rest of the sentence

is confirmed.

confirms the Appeal Court sentence.

PECORELLI TRIAL:

request life imprisonment for

Andreotti, Vitalone, Badalamenti

and Calo as mandators

Court acquits all defendants.

sentences Andreotti and Badalamenti

to 24 years imprisonment.

overrules the sentence.

Andreotti and Badalamenti

acquitted of Pecorelli murder.
