I should say "regarding Del Balso hearing release case".

Just found out Frank Arcadi has been out since May 9th I think? Anti posted a link back in May but I missed it. That is very interesting as well. Not sure if they have restrictions up there, but you would have to think with Arcadi on the streets Del Balso would feel at least "some" sense of safety considering Arcadi has been out for 3 months. Arcadi must be hanging really low as well considering we've heard zero about him lately.

Maybe Del Balso could feel some sense of safety, but I am no so sure about it. He has his full load of worries actually. As for Arcadi,

you are right, he has been lying very low in recent weeks. He is closely watch by Correctional Services, subjected to strict release conditions. As he said himself, he just want to take care of his garden and care about animals.

If Del Balso openly admits that he's marked perhaps that means he's on his own.

However, it's hard to deny that he's on a hit list after that situation. It's probably an open contract given the fact that these lunatics rang his doorbell.

Finally Sollecito and Rizzuto have chosen to go on separate trials from the other accused.

Sergio Flamia - the pentito involved with the murder of Juan Ramon Fernandez and Pimentel has written a book. It looks to be only in Italian...not sure if anyone knows if an english version is out there.

Even in Italian it says it's already unavailable on amazon...If only I knew about it earlier, it was released in 2014 as I see. Will try to find it elsewhere, but it's written on the cover image "Parla il boss Sergio Flamia" ("The boss Sergio Flamia speaks"): they never stop labeling as a "boss" every single mafioso that gets at least some notoriety above average; Flamia was a capo, not a boss. But, after every mass arrest, they always write in newspapers things like "40 bosses arrested", even when it's 1 or 2 bosses only and the rest are soldiers.

Thanks for the information, will try to get the book.

After checking for an English version and coming up short, I doubt there is one available; I am also skeptical that the book will be translated into English.

The Italian version is currently unavailable (as in "no copies left") on a number of sites you would think to find it--for example, on Amazon Italia. I also think that the sites where you can purchase the Italian version ship only within Italy or countries nearby--my opinion is based on the inexpensive shipping charges (in euros) that I've seen while doing searches. I am interested in purchasing the Italian version but I'll have to contact some of these online bookstores/booksellers and ask about shipping outside of Italy--I'll report back here.
