Rocco Chinnici (19 January 1925 in Misilmeri – 29 July 1983 in Palermo) was a noted Italian Antimafia magistrate killed by the Sicilian Mafia. LifeBorn at Misilmeri, Chinnici graduated in law at the University of Palermo in 1947 and started working as a magistrate in 1952 in Trapani. In 1966 he moved to the prosecutors office in Palermo. In November 1979, he became head of the Examining Office at the Palermo Court, following the murder of his predecessor, Cesare Terranova, by the Mafia.[1] At the time the prosecution was separated in an examining phase (the so-called instruction phase) and a prosecuting phase. Chinnici created the Antimafia Pool, a group of investigating magistrates who closely worked together sharing information to diffuse responsibility and to prevent one person from becoming the sole institutional memory and solitary target. The famous Antimafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino were part of the Antimafia Pool as well as {{Interlanguage link multi|Giuseppe Di Lello|it|3=Giuseppe Di Lello Finuoli}} and {{Interlanguage link multi|Leonardo Guarnotta|it}}.[2] The Antimafia pool laid the groundwork for the Maxi Trial against the Sicilian Mafia in 1986. He was instrumental in reviving investigations into the Mafia and understood the need to bridge the gap between the judiciary and the rest of Sicilian society to create a counterculture against the Mafia and break down omertà, the law of silence that kept the Mafia alive. He frequently spoke out against the Mafia in public appearances and schools at a time when judges had avoided the word for many years.[1] AssassinationOn July 29, 1983 a car bomb explosion in Palermo killed Chinnici, two of his bodyguards, {{Interlanguage link multi|Mario Trapassi|it}} and {{Interlanguage link multi|Salvatore Bartolotta|it}}, and the concierge of his apartment block, Filippo Li Sacchi, as he left the house to go to work.[1] The bomb was triggered by the notorious Mafia assassin Pino Greco, on the orders of his uncle Michele Greco. Michele Greco was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for ordering Chinnici's assassination.[3] He was succeeded as Chief Prosecutor by Antonino Caponnetto. Biography
