"He appeared to us in good health and good looks, it does not seem to us that his conditions are incompatible with prison".

This is how Palermo's assistant prosecutor Paolo Guido expressed himself on Matteo Messina Denaro , the Cosa Nostra superboss captured yesterday in Palermo after 30 years on the run.

The cell doors will therefore soon open for the mafia boss and the regime in which he will be detained will be the harsh one of 41 bis.

And, among the destination hypotheses, there is also Sardinia . The fully active detention facility for the mafia bosses is that of Bancali in Sassari , which at the moment is "complete", with 91 places occupied by prisoners under the 41 bis.

In the next few hours, however , the transfer of the anarchist Alfredo Cospito to Uta could be confirmed. And therefore a place would be freed up for the superboss.

However, the crux of the absence of a clinical center for the treatments that Messina Denaro needs would remain. Same problem for Nuoro. But there would also be the Uta pavilion already built but not yet open.

Hypothesis at the moment. But a lot will also depend on whether or not the ex-fugitive will cooperate with the investigators.
