With P2 we had Italy in our hands. Then there was the Army, Financial Police, Police: they were clearly commanded by all people from the P2 Masonic lodge. [...] We never wanted to attack and we couldn't attack, but we were a sentinel to prevent the Communist Party from emerging.

Noi con la P2 avevamo l'Italia in mano. Allora c'era l'Esercito, Guardia di Finanza, Polizia: erano nettamente comandate da tutta gente della loggia massonica P2. [...] Noi non abbiamo mai voluto attaccare e non si poteva attaccare, però eravamo una sentinella perché non emergesse il Partito Comunista.
