Thirteen life sentences for massacre and multiple homicide, and now also a conviction for resisting a public official.

Leoluca Bagarella , boss of the Corleonesi mafia clan, who has been detained for years under the 41 bis regime in Bancali , received a six-month prison sentence yesterday in court in Sassari, handed down by Judge Anna Pintore.

In 2022, the man, now 84, spat at a prison officer and refused to hand over items he couldn't keep in his cell. He then threatened the officer with the phrase, "Cop, I'll rip your head off and send it to your father, so he can live happily."

Prosecutor Alessia Sanna had requested a one-year sentence, citing the defendant's uncooperative conduct during the trial.

Bastianino Ventura, a public defender, spoke about the condition of his client, who, having been in prison for decades, "has lost touch with reality." Don Luchino, as he was known in his time, is no stranger to assaulting officers. In 2021, he punched a police officer escorting him in the face, and in 2020, he bit another on the ear.
