Turin and Piedmont prosecutor general
Francesco Saluzzo has come out against ending the tough
mafia-style 41 bis prison regime of anarchist leader Alfredo
Cospito, who has been on hunger strike against it for 106 days,
in the official's highly anticipated recommendation to Justice
Minister Carlo Nordio, well-informed sources told ANSA Thursday.
An opinion against the revocation of Cospito's 41 bis sentence
was given to the Ministry of Justice by Saluzzo, they said.
The document also contains references to the need to constantly
monitor the prisoner's health conditions.
Cospito's lawyer said Thursday he was at a critical threshold
but determined to press ahead with his hungers trike whatever
the possible irreversible repercussions.
Also on Thursday evening, the hearing at the Supreme Court of
Cassation on the petition filed by Cospito's defence counsel
after the rejection of the complaint against the 41 bis declared
by the Rome Supervisory Court was brought forward to 24
February, defence sources said.
