Tribunalização da política na Itália entre a Primeira República e a operação mãos limpas

Abstract

From the perspective of microhistory, this article conducts a historical reconstruction of the events that occurred in 1992 and 1993 in Sicily, Italy, considering these facts through the premise that the judiciary operated as an alternate power by conducting judicial processes with political intentions in the context of the operation Clean Hands. In this context, I analyse the relations between both Judges Giovani Falcone and Paolo Borsellino and the investigation entitled Mafia and Public Contracts, trying to understand the social context in Palermo in those years, concerning the main social actors involved in the judicial and political scandals: business owners, judges, mobsters and politicians.
