The Mob Boss Has Anorexia
![]()
The Zola System in Action
Carmelo Di Stefano, a Sicilian mob boss came up with a unique way to get out of jail. He faked both anorexia and paralysis.
The ploy worked as he was taken to a local hospital twice for his
“Medical conditions.” Di Stefano was finally released to house arrest but promptly escaped. Carmelo avoided re-arrest for two months.
Recently, the Italian federal police caught up with Di Stefano in the seaside village of Catania. When asked where his wheelchair was, Carmelo replied “it’s a miracle.”
A career criminal managed to fool authorities with a false bout of anorexia and associated paralysis. Anorexia is a disease that usually affects teenage girls. I assume soon al-Qaeda operatives will be using bulimia as an excuse to get out of jail. But hey, what’s a little vomit between friends.
