An Italian elementary schoolmistress
allegedly helped fugitive Mafia superboss Matteo Messina Denaro
during his 30-year flight from justice, sources said Wednesday.
The teacher, Laura Bonafede, has been accused of being "close"
to the Cosa Nostra kingpin, who was caught at a Palermo cancer
clinic on January 16.
She teaches at a school in the boss's home town of Castelvetrano
near Trapani.
Bonafede has been suspended for 10 days by the Istituto
Capuana-Pardo school in Castelvetrano pending possible
disciplinary or criminal action.
ANSA sources said Wednesday that her case will be discussed
Thursday by Education and Merit Minister Giuseppe Valditara and
Sicily's education pointman Mimmo Turano.
