Mafia "maxiprocesso" - Riina faces Buscetta (sub eng) - part 2/5

Here's the second part, i'm sorry for the huge delay but my computer with the srt. files (the subtitles i had ready) just "died" plus i had some personal issues and i couldn't dedicate this as much time as i'd liked to. I had this part ready and i'm working on the subs for the next ones so stay tuned!! The following parts will be uploaded soon (i swear)! English is not my native language so forgive me if i made some grammatical errors :( - It is also hard to translate certain parts cause of dialectal expressions and forms of speech used that, even as an Italian speaker, i take some time to decypher myself. For practical reasons i put a letter before the speaking subjects: PM: it is the public minister in the italian law system, equivalent to a "prosecutor". He works for the state. D: it's the defence, the lawyer that defends Riina and is trying to prove wrong Buscetta's statements -J: J is for judge, but thats'not entirely correct. The "maxiprocesso" was an exceptional event in Italian law history and a special commission/court was created for it. The chairman you see asking the question is referred by all the subjects involved as the "President", even though he could look like the judge he is not. The word "pentiti" or "pentiti di mafia" (this acception is derogatory, the official term is "justice collaborators") is used to refer to those who once were active members of the criminal organizations and that once caught by the police, in exchange for a reduced sentence, shared their testimony in the court This is the original footage from the official Totò Riina trial, the so called "maxiprocesso". This is the part of the trial when Riina is called to face, reluctantly, Tommaso Buscetta, (former Cosa Nostra member, identified as the "south american link") whom confessions were decisive in the endless fight with "cosa nostra", and to identify the connections this criminal organization established worldwide. This footage is not new to the internet, only it was hard to find an english subtitled version, so i thought it would have been nice to share this version for all those interested in the trial yet not familiar with italian language (especially dialectal italian from sicily). Here is some context: Salvatore "Totò" Riina is considered to be one of the most heinous criminals tied to Cosa Nostra; he had many nicknames such as "the beast" ("la belva") due to his ruthless personality as well as "Totò the short" ("u curtu") due to his height (158 cm - 5'2''). He has also been recognized as the "boss of bosses" for his activity as supreme head of Cosa Nostra from the mid 70's until his arrest, happened in 1993. Despite his predecessors he distinguished himself for the terrorist-like techniques (including bombings and outrages) and the reckless hits of judges, policemen and influent personalities sent by him. The result of this trial, as well as other trials he has been subjected to, tied him directly to hundreds of murders happened during his "mandate". For these and other charges he was convicted to 26 life sentences, wich he served at the Opera prison. On the other hand we have the former mobster Buscetta, wich was at the time of the arrest hiding in South America; he was also wanted for various charges, and once he got arrested he has decided to talk (as well as many others). His confessions helped outlining the main power dyinamics inside Cosa Nostra, the role of Riina as well as many others personalities participating the crimes. The many times mentioned "commission" was a full-fledged management body that the sicilian mob established for many purposes such as settle disputes between families, deal with impending problems and so forth. The "maxi trial", somehow accidentally, had brought out in the open the underlying world of corruption/concussion and led to expose the basis of what will later be called the "mafia-state agreement", wich involved many of the italian highest offices.
