Renato Vallanzasca should be
granted parole, an observation and treatment team from Milan's
Bollate prison has written in a report to a Milan court that
will decide about whether to release the former gangster.
The report said that Vallanzasca, a powerful figure in
Milan's underworld in the 1970s who is serving four consecutive
life sentences plus 296 years for a string of robberies,
kidnappings and murders, has "changed profoundly" on an
"intellectual and emotional level".
It said that he would "not progress with further detention".
Vallanzasca, 67, inspired a 2010 movie directed by Michele
Placido and starring Kim Rossi Stuart.
