 In mid-1992, following the bomb attacks in which Falcone and Borsellino were killed, Buscetta began to speak of the political ties of the Cosa Nostra with magistrates, accusing Salvo Lima, killed a few months earlier, and Giulio Andreotti of being the main political referents of the organization; in particular, he reported that he had known Lima personally since the late 1950s, and had met him last in 1980, and also reported that he had learned that the murder of the journalist Mino Pecorelli in 1979 would have been carried out in the Andreotti's interest.Buscetta was one of the main witnesses of the trials against Andreotti for mafia association and for the Pecorelli murder.Andreotti was however, eventually acquitted, in 1999, of the charge of having commissioned the assassination of Pecorelli.
