(changes 'indemnity' to 'jeopardy', subtitle and last line).
A Camorra boss arrested on mafia
charges Monday in the past won damages of 110,000 euros for
unjust detention over the murder of a migrant, sources said
Monday.
Antonio Esposito was definitively cleared of killing the
immigrant for petty reasons, judicial sources said.
Mafia informants have since given allegedly conclusive
evidence that Espostio did, in fact, murder the immigrant, the
source said.
But he cannot be tried for the alleged crime again because of
double jeopardy, the principle that you cannot be tried twice
for the same crime if found innocent the first time, they said.
