It is widely believed that the Mafia owed its power to Giulio Andreotti (1919-2013), the leading statesman on the post war years. The sevenfold Prime Minister of Italy stood accused of collusion with Cosa Nostra. But Andreotti has been absolved from any charge in 2004.
he was acquitted only after 1980, before that time he was clearly linked with Cosa Nostra but the crime has been prescribed, so yes he was linked with the mafia
