This status, which prevented his bringing him closer to a Corsican prison, had been contested for years by Mr. Colonna, sentenced to life imprisonment for the assassination of the prefect Erignac in 1998. “This decision (…) is based on the particular gravity of the health situation of Mr. Colonna and is based on the opinion issued today by the commission of the central house of Arles”, indicated Matignon.
