Maxi - The Great Trial Against Mafia - Season 1 Episode 1 The Green Spaceship
February 10, 1986: the "Maxi-trial" against Cosa Nostra begins. For the first time, more than 400 mafiosi are called to answer for dozens of crimes, in a huge courtroom (which everyone calls "the green spaceship") built for the occasion. The very first days see the Court still taking the measures of this enormous trial, while the mobsters growl from their cages: the old boss Luciano Liggio tries to upset the judges with his attitude, while "pentito" Salvatore Di Marco threatens to retract his deposition. But just ten days after the beginning of the trial, a news arrives: Michele Greco, known as "The Pope" and head of the Cupola (Mafia's main council of the bosses), is arrested and will be trialled among other bosses.
