The health of former fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro , detained in the super prison of L'Aquila, is worsening: he has been hospitalized to undergo surgery.

This is what Alessandro Cerella, the mafia boss's lawyer, affirms, according to which the health conditions of the client " are not compatible with the 41bis , he must be assisted 24 hours a day". Messina Denaro, suffering from cancer , has been under treatment in the penitentiary since the day of his arrest where a room for chemotherapy has been set up for him.

«In very short order - he adds - we will present an application for hospitalization . Messina Denaro takes a little water and supplements and is very thin. The doctors at the L'Aquila hospital who have taken care of him since January don't see him every day and he needs day and night care from a nurse».

For this reason «he must be transferred to the hospital. With my colleague Lorenza Guttadauro we are deciding on the most effective strategy», concludes the lawyer.
