April 24, 2020 "It is restricted in the 41bis regime" and "therefore in single cells and with all the limitations of the aforementioned regime that protect it from the risk of contagion". With this reason, the judge of the Milan Surveillance has rejected the request for deferral of penalty to house arrest for reasons of health of the life sentence boss Nitto Santapaola.Benedetto, known as 'Nitto', Santapaola, 81 years old, in a note from the prison of Opera in which he is held, signed by the director Silvio Di Gregorio, is described as "a subject of high social danger, one of the greatest exponents of the criminal organization called 'Cosa Nostra'".
The direction of the Opera prison, following an application by the defense to postpone the sentence and then release from prison for health reasons, had sent a surveillance report on the boss's health to the Surveillance in recent days. The judge Paola Caffarena in the few lines of the measure asks the prison management to "keep this office updated about the prisoner's health conditions", but does not find "the conditions at present" for granting the postponement of the sentence, given that "the Santapaola is restricted to a "hard prison" regime, to "a single cell and with all the limitations of the aforementioned regime that protect him from the risk of contagion".
A case, that of Santapaola, for conditions and punishment to be served different from that of Francesco Bonura, an entrepreneur convicted of mafia who went to house arrest in recent days. A release, as clarified by the Supervisory Court, chaired by Giovanna Di Rosa, decided with a "provision" of "granting the deferral penalty in the form of home detention according to the ordinary regulations applicable to all prisoners, even convicted of very serious crimes, to protect the constitutional rights to punishment health and humanity ". The court explained that the prisoner was "suffering from very serious pathologies" and that he had only 11 months to serve, 8 months with early release.
