It is indeed bizarre - as in they waited it out. Arrested in a hospital - to the best of my knowledge Provenzano - during treatment - almost got pinched in a hospital in Marseille. Seems like the state is sending a message to Cosa Nostra with this date (15/01/1993). I can't really remember why Provenzano went to Marseille but I think it was for something specific they couldn't treat him for in Italy. At a certain point (i guess 25 years ago) new hospital equipment (supposedly top level at that time) was sent to Sicily. Provenzano created his own companies for this to skim these profits - The irony they arrest Denaro in a hospital in Palermo
