The Italian Supreme Court, the Cassazione, has upheld the application of the strict 41-bis prison regime for Antonino Accorinti, a 70-year-old boss of the 'Ndrangheta clan based in Briatico. 

Accorinti, who received a 12-year sentence following the ‘Costa Pulita’ operation, was identified as a figure capable of influencing politics, tourism, and business in the Vibonese area. The court rejected his appeal, noting that intercepted communications demonstrated his prestige and connections to other criminal groups, such as the Trimboli brothers. The ruling maintains that Accorinti poses a risk of communicating with the outside world if held under ordinary prison conditions.
