(ANSA) - SASSARI, JANUARY 17 - The boss of Cosa Nostra LeolucaBagarella attacked yesterday with a bite an agent of the Gom of the prison police in the Bancali prison, in Sassari.
The attack took place while the prisoner under the regime of 41was accompanied in the videoconference room, from where he should have witnessed at a distance the hearing of the trial before the Assize Court of Palermo on the state-mafia negotiation. Blocked immediately after the fact, the boss was taken back to the cell.
"I have no direct news of the fact that it would have happened yesterday, reported in the national press, but I am sure - said Bagarella's lawyer, Antonella Cuccureddu - that if it had happened in the terms reported, it is not at all to be interpreted as a protest against the special prison regime to which he has been subjected for 25 years, but which derives rather from a severely compromised physical state that generates a discomfort to condition his conduct ".
