(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 7 - Italian police on Tuesday arrested a
doctor accused of treating Mafis boss Matteo Messina Denaro
during his 30-year run from justice that ended with his arrest
in a Palermo cancer clinic last month.
The Carabinieri of the Ros special department arrested Alfonso
Tumbarello, the Campobello di Mazara doctor accused of having
treated Messina Denaro for years while he was Italy's most
wanted fugitive.
Tumbarello has been charged with external complicity in mafia
association and making false statements.
Also in handcuffs is Andrea Bonafede, cousin and namesake of the
surveyor who lent his identity to the godfather and bought on
his behalf the house where the boss spent his last months.
Prosecutors have charged him with aiding and abetting and
failure to comply with a sentence aggravated by favouring Cosa
Nostra. (ANSA).
