'I've no criminal record,' Messina Denaro, who was caught on Monday after 30 years on the run.
"I've no criminal record," Messina Denaro, who was caught on Monday after 30 years on the run, told prison guards when he was admitted to the Costarelle prison close to the city of L'Aquila, Italian media reported.
He will be one of around 160 prisoners in the Costarelle, which opened in the 1990s and is the largest of Italy's maximum security jails. It has previously housed mobsters including Raffaele Cutolo and Leoluca Bagarella. Messina Denaro is suffering from cancer and his treatment is expected to continue at a hospital in L'Aquila, a small city in the mountainous Abruzzo region. He is likely to be flown back to Sicily when required to appear in court.
