[edit] New version: translated from Italian Wiki

I've replaced the text with a translation of the Italian article in Mori, which is much more complete, informative and balanced. Here is the original English text I've replaced, in case it's needed: Cesare Mori was born in 1872 in Pavia, Italy, and was raised in an orphanage. He joined the police and served in various cities. In 1924 he became the prefect of Trapani. On 22 October 1925 he was transferred to Palermo by Mussolini and given special powers with the aim of eradicating the Mafia. He began a ruthless campaign and also investigated high-ranking mafiosi and saw that they had a relationship with Fascism. Mori understood the fear, honor and respect of the mafiosi. So he started adopting mafia tactics (respect and honor) to fight the Mafia. This anti-mafia campaign was from 1924 until 1929. He mistrusted the legal system greatly. He knew that the law was weak, and therefore, he intervened by police violence and not the mafioso. His tactic was considered as "the biggest mafioso of them all". Mori reduced the crime rate but did not tackle the social and economic part. --Zeisseng 16:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
