Casalesi clan boss Michele Zagaria was transferred from the prison of L'Aquila, where he was detained, to the Tolmezzo prison, in the province of Udine. This is the sixth transfer, since 2011, for the boss of the powerful Camorra union condemned to three life sentences and subjected to the 41 bis regime. Zagaria had arrived in the Abruzzo prison not even a year ago from the Milanese Opera one. The Milan Public Prosecutor had transferred him because he had objected to several episodes of violence and threats against the director and some officers of the Penitentiary Police of the Milanese prison.

The reasons that led the magistrates of the Prison Administration Department to take the decision to transfer Michele Zagaria from the Abruzzo prison to the Friuli one have not yet been announced. Pasquale, Beatrice and Elvira Zagaria, like Michele, are all in jail. Carmine Zagaria, another of the brothers of the Casalesi boss, has instead recently returned to freedom: he has never been convicted of bloodshed, he has served his sentence of 8 years in prison for mafia association and he has been released from prison .
