Italian politicians, mobsters to stand trial for alleged talks


PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian judge on Thursday ordered 10 people, including an ex-interior minister and jailed mob boss Salvatore Riina, to stand trial for their role in secret negotiations between the Sicilian mafia and the state in the 1990s.

The trial stems from a murky period in Italian history when the "Bribesville" corruption investigations caused the downfall of the political establishment and the Sicilian mob set off a string of bombs that killed 21 people in 1992 and 1993.
