Paolo Alfano gets provisional freedom: the former killer of Corso dei Mille returns to Palermo AMDuemila September 28, 2024 Paolo Alfano , the trusted driver of Totò Riina 's fire team , has been granted semi-liberty after twenty years of detention in Parma prison. He has always been one of Cosa Nostra's diehards: he was sentenced to 17 years in the maxi-trial, then received a life sentence for two murders committed in 1981 and remained a fugitive until 1996. The news was reported by 'Repubblica'. Alfano returned to Palermo in August for twelve days thanks to a permit. His presence thus joins that of Giuseppe Giuliano and Giovanni Asciutto , Gaetano Savoca and Cosimo Fabio Lo Nigro and Nino Sacco. All of them have been released after having paid their debt to justice. The latter has a daughter who married one of Alfano's sons, Pietro. However, the former driver of Riina's group has continued to reiterate that he is now a different person, who wants to break away from the past.
