Dimitri De Stefano was sentenced on appeal to 10 years and 8 months of imprisonment for mafia association, instead of 13 years and 4 months of the first degree. The judges of the Reggio Calabria Court of Appeal issued the sentence late in the evening, dismissing his role as a participant, and not as head promoter as in the first instance.
Dimitri is a son of the deceased boss Don Paolino De Stefano.
