The Court of Assizes of Appeal of Caltanissetta confirmed the life sentence of boss Matteo Messina Denaro for the 1992 massacres .
The mafia boss, arrested last January after 30 years on the run, is accused of having been one of the instigators of the massacres in Capaci and via D'Amelio in which Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino died.
The panel, chaired by judge Maria Carmela Giannazzo, accepted the request made by the general prosecutors Antonino Patti, Fabiola Furnari and Gaetano Bono. The godfather, defended by public defender Adriana Vella, has renounced to connect from the prison in which he is detained to listen to the device.
