He went to Sicily as prefetto under direct orders and with special powers given by Mussolini, he wiped out the mafia using brutal and violent methods, risking his life numerous times, and going even after high ranking sicilian PNF members, army generals, and wealthy landowners. His job was remarkable, he achieved more than any italian government ever achieved since the existance of our country, and the mafia was considered to be wiped out, most of it arrested, killed, or fled to the US. When the US invaded Sicily and the traitorous king established his co-belligerent government, mafiosi were put in charge of municipalities because they were sure to not be harboring fascist sympathies.
