The health conditions of mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro are worrying , having been hospitalized for a week now in a cell in the prison ward of S.Salvatore dell'Aquila . On August 8 he underwent surgery for an intestinal obstruction but now doctors are worried about colon cancer , in an advanced stage , which has worsened the former fugitive's general condition .
The management of his case, given the worsening of his health conditions, is proving to be very complex and involves specialists, leaders and competent institutions. The man has been hospitalized for over a month . Before the transfer he was imprisoned under the 41 bis regime in the maximum security prison in L'Aquila.
Subjected to pain therapy and parenteral nutrition, he is under strict medical supervision. But his stay in the facility could last a long time as his conditions would not be compatible with detention in a cell and because there is no adequate healthcare facility in the prison.
In recent weeks, friends and relatives have asked for hospital treatment. Some of them even visited the boss.
