Giovanni Brusca

Giovanni Brusca, the killer of Italian judge Giovanni Falcone and several others has been released from prison after serving a 25-year sentence. His release has caused grief and anger among the relatives of the people he killed.

Brusca was arrested in 1996, four years after killing Falconen, his wife and three police officers. Falcone's assassination, followed two months later by that of his friend, anti-mafia tycoon Paolo Borsellino, was one of the most infamous episodes in Italy's long and violent war on organized crime.

Brusca, known as the 'killer of people', has confessed his role in over 100 murders, including the death of a 14-year-old boy, Giuseppe Di Matteo, who was killed because he was the son of a mafia informant.

"He cooperated with justice only to get the benefits, it was not a personal choice," the wife of a police officer killed by Brusca told the daily Corriere della Sera.

Maria Falcone, the judge's sister, said she was "saddened" by the news, but that the law gave Brusca the right to leave prison. Brusca provided investigators with information on several murders committed by the Cosa Nostra in the 1980s and 199s.
