Renato Vallanzasca, the former Milanese crime boss, may soon be transferred from prison to a care facility due to severe health issues.
During a recent hearing in Milan, both the defense and the prosecution agreed that Vallanzasca's deteriorating mental health, including dementia, makes him unfit for incarceration.
Medical reports highlight his cognitive decline, paranoia, and inability to comprehend his punishment.
His defense team has proposed a care facility in Veneto, suitable for Alzheimer's patients, as an alternative.
The decision now rests with the judges, who are expected to announce their verdict in the coming days.
