(ANSA) - Palermo, January 24 - Palermo police on Tuesday
arrested Massimo Ciancimino, son of a mayor sentenced for mafia
ties and major witness in a trial on 'mafia-state' dealings.
Vito Ciancimino's son Massimo, sentenced on Monday to three
years in prison for possession of explosives, had a pardon
revoked that had been granted to him after being sentenced to
two years and eight months for money laundering in 2011. He will
now have to serve both sentences.
The latest sentence has been upheld in the Court of
Cassation.
It is not yet clear how long he will have to stay in prison,
since the time he spent in precautionary custody will be
subtracted.
Ciancimino is also on trial for slander in Caltanissetta and
for supporting a mafia-related association in Palermo as part of
the 'mafia-state' dealings.
