Mafia boss ordered hit on daughter who went out with cop Son refused to carry it out (ANSA) - Palermo, October 30 - A Mafia boss ordered his son to kill his daughter after she had a relationship with a Carabiniere, police said after the boss was among 15 arrested in a sweep against Cosa Nostra Monday. "Your sister has become a cop," Bagheria boss Pino Scaduto told his son. But the son refused to carry out his father's order for fear of ending up in jail, police said. "I didn't want to be burned for doing it," he reportedly said on a police wiretap. Police said the 'New Dawn' operation had dealt a "heavy blow" to Scaduto's clan. http://www.ansa.it/english/news/2017/10/...4900896d88.html

Sicilian judge Saguto indicted (3) Wrongdoing in handling seized Mafia assets (ANSA) - Caltanissetta, March 31 - A prelinianry hearings judge on Friday indicted suspended Palermo judge Silvana Saguto and other suspects charged with wrongdoing in the handling of seized Mafia assets. Saguto is accused by prosecutors in Caltanissetta of alleged corruption and abuse of office in collusion with judicial administrative staff and family members. In October last year prosecutors ordered the urgent precautionary seizure of money and property allegedly deriving from crimes attributed to Saguto and her alleged accomplices. Saguto was suspended by the Supreme Council of Magistrates (CSM), which is the judiciary's self-governing body, late in 2015 on the request of Justice Minister Andrea Orlando and Supreme Court Prosecutor Pasquale Ciccolo. The "gravity" of her alleged behaviour has led to an "irreparable loss of prestige", the CSM said at the time. http://www.ansa.it/english/news/general_...addb0335a5.html

Dell'Utri release bid turned down Ex-Berlusconi aide pled poor health
(ANSA) - Rome, December 7 - A Rome detention review court on Thursday rejected a plea by Marcello Dell'Utri, an ailing former aide of ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi serving seven years for mafia links, to be released from jail on health grounds. Dell'Utri, who is suffering heart problems as well as cancer, is being held in Rome's Rebibbia Prison. Filing the plea, Dell'Utri told his lawyers that he is at the end of his tether. "I can't go on, I feel worn-out and tired," Dell'Utri told them a few days ago, the lawyers told the hearing. But Rome Prosecutor-General Pietro Giordano told the court he opposed the ex-Senator's plea, saying that Dell'Utri's condition was compatible with prison detention. Giordano's argument ran counter to that of experts appointed by his office, who had said Dell'Utri should be released from jail. Dell'Utri's lawyers said a rejection of his plea to be released could have "serious psychological repercussions" on their client, who was already "exhausted" by his prison experience. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has asked the Italian government to assess whether keeping Dell'Utri in jail is a violation of his rights not to be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment. The request was made during the conveying to Rome of documents related to an appeal filed in Strasbourg on December 20, 2014, by Dell'Utri. Dell'Utri, a former right-hand man of Berlusconi's, is not entitled to early release because of the gravity of the mafia-related crimes he was convicted of, Italy's highest court ruled in October. External collaboration in mafia association is a crime excluded from those where early release can be granted, the court said. Dell'Utri is serving seven years for colluding with the mafia in Palermo. The 76-year-old former close aide to three-time ex-premier and media mogul Berlusconi and co-founder of Berlusconi's Forza Italia party was convicted in 2014 of acting as an ambassador between the centre-right group and the Cosa Nostra Mafia in his native Sicily. He was extradited from Beirut to serve his sentence. Dell'Utri is also the former head of the media magnate's advertising arm and is credited with creating the media mogul's Forza Italia party in 1993, six months before it swept to victory in general elections. In addressing the Strasbourg court, Dell'Utri said he had been convicted on the basis of a law that came into force after he committed the crimes he was convicted of. He added that the charges against him were vague and imprecise.

I wouldn't be suprised if Diabolik is celebrating Christmas outside Trapani, much safer and he isn't a guy who is hiding in a small farmhouse without TV and all the other stuff like Provenzano.
