Messina Denaro in hospital for surgery
Jailed superboss has urological problems unrelated to cancer

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 27 - Cosa Nostra superboss Matteo Messina Denaro, caught after 30 years on the run at a Palermo cancer clinic in mid-January, has been admitted to hospital for surgery, sources said Tuesday.
The jailed mafioso, who is being held under Italy's tough 41 bis regime in L'Aquila's maximum security prison, was said to be suffering from urological problems that are unrelated to his colon cancer.

He was taken to L'Aquila hospital, which has been put under extraordinary security measures.
The Trapani superboss has been condemned to life in prison for his involvement in dozens of murders, including the 1992 bombings that killed anti-Mafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the killing of Giuseppe Di Matteo, the 12-year-old son of a mobster-turned-State witness who was strangled and dissolved in acid in 1996, and bombings at art and religious sites in Milan, Florence and Rome that killed 10 people and hurt 40 more in 1993.
Following his arrest in January, he is now being treated for cancer in a special chemotherapy facility that has been set up in L'Aquila prison.
