9 loyalists of Messina Denaro released in Sicily due to expiration of stay ban
Explanation of the article: A residence ban has been issued in Sicily for the faithful followers of Matteo Messina Denaro, who were released on Monday, October 14 by the Court of Appeal of Palermo due to the expiration of their preventive custody terms, despite their convictions. The Carabinieri of Trapani notified the 9 supporters of the mafia boss from Castelvetrano of the ban on residence and the simultaneous ban on leaving the country for Nicola Accardo, Giuseppe Tilotta, Paolo Bongiorno, Calogero Guarino, Vincenzo La Cascia, Raffaele Urso, Andrea Valenti, Filippo Dell’Acqua, and Antonino Triolo. The request of the prosecutor general Lia Sava and substitute Carlo Marzella was accepted for nine out of ten defendants. They will also have the obligation to stay home from 8 pm to 8 am, and must also sign in at the police station every day. The only exception is Angelo Greco, who has served his entire sentence. The releases came after the Appeals judges ruled on the annulment of the previous decision by the Supreme Court, which did not recognize some aggravating factors for the defendants. The new verdict accepted the Supreme Court’s reservations, resulting in the annulment of the aggravating factors and a reduction of the preventive custody terms from 9 to 6 years.
