anti-mafia investigations are as old as the Sicilian Mafia itself, the debate about what the Mafia is and how to fight it has remained unresolved. The current shape of Antimafia criminal justice formed since the 1960s, when two “Mafia Wars” and assassinations
of magistrates, politicians, and investigators triggered the short-lived civic outrage, a perennial parliamentary investigative commission (est. 1963), and periodic legal reforms. The successful prosecution of leading mafiosi during those years relied on a
forensic paradigm that constructed the mafia as a hierarchical and unitary criminal organization, according to which “everything is connected” in the intersection of politics, economy, and social relations.</font></span></div>

</font></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><font size="3">The paper follows the trajectory of this forensic paradigm from the 1980s Palermo maxi-trial to present-day magistrates’ dilemmas regarding
investigative conceptions and technologies: how to construct the mafia and prosecute mafiosi using justice collaborators, wiretapped conversations, and evidentiary narratives. Magistrates’ current efforts have recently reopened the debate about what the mafia
is. On the one hand, Palermo Antimafia magistrates hold that “the Mafia won,” that it survived because of a secret “pact” with the country’s highest-ranking officials. On the other hand, historians and legal scholars claim that enforcement efforts have dismantled
the Mafia’s dominance in Sicilian politics, and accuse those who still think that “everything is connected” of conspiracy theories. By studying this particular forensic paradigm and the legal and political dilemmas it generated for the magistrates, I argue
that the interaction between the mafia and anti-mafia strategies to construe and fight it contributed to the forensic co-production of organized crime and political institutions.</font></span></div>
