“Corsica needs safeguards against the mafia” | EUROtoday

VSHe is without doubt one of the figures of the anti-mafia in Corsica. Former director of FLNCex-nationalist elected official, founding father of a collective towards mafia abuses, Léo Battesti has lived a number of lives. He survived the “years of lead”, this troubled interval of the Nineties marked by the tearing aside of the troopers of the clandestine armed wrestle on the island. Today, it’s now not on the political scene that this former president of the Corsican chess league advances his pawns. In a e-book soberly titled A Maffia nò (No to the mafia), he raises a cry of alarm about this evil which is gnawing away at Corsica, even when it means denying his years of clandestinity which, he explains to Pointhave generated many excesses.
