For Giuseppe Guttadauro the prison doors open again.
The 70-year-old, known as "the doctor", former head of the Civic hospital of Palermo and a leading exponent of Cosa Nostra , was involved in the investigation into moles in the DDA in which the former president of the Region Totò Cuffaro was investigated.
On 12 February last, at the conclusion of an investigative activity conducted by the Carabinieri del Ros and coordinated by the Deputy Prosecutor Paolo Guido and by the prosecutors Francesca Mazzocco and Bruno Brucoli, he was placed under house arrest because he was accused of being part of the Roccella family. His son Mario Carlo was also among the recipients of that order.
His age and the absence of exceptional precautionary reasons had been taken into consideration at home. But from the investigations subsequently carried out by the Carabinieri del Ros it emerged that he violated the obligations not to communicate with people other than those who live with him through third-party channels.
On the basis of these elements, the prosecutor requested and obtained from the investigating judge the replacement of the measure of house arrest with that of custody in prison.
