Mafia boss sheds 60 kg in prison

(ANSA) - Lecce, January 27 - A mafia boss who lost 60 kilograms - about 132 pounds - while in prison was granted house arrest on Tuesday after claiming jail was hard on his health.
    Davide Vadacca, 32, described as an up-and-coming young leader in the Sacra Corona Unita mafia, had been held in prison on charges of mafia association and drug dealing.
    He had been arrested in October 2013 when he weighed about 130 kilograms, or 287 pounds, and held in custody since then.
