One of italy’s most infamous mobsters has fathered a daughter more than two decades after being jailed for life without the right to conjugal visits. The miracle of sorts is comming as a result of a legal battle that allowed Raffaele Cutolo, a former boss of the Naples-based Camorra crime organization, the right to father a child through artificial insemination.
It was a first for Italy, where mob bosses are expected to serve ” hard time” once they are brought to justice. ‘ I will die in prison. my last wish is to give my wife a child, ”Cutolo told newspaper, La Repubblica last year.
Cutolo married his wife, appropriately named ” Immacolata” or ” Immaculate” in prison in 1983, but the two never consummated the marriage, according to news reports.
On Tuesday, at a Naples hospital, she delivered a baby girl named Denise. Mother and daughter are healthy. Cutolo is currently serving multiple life sentences for murder. He was married before and fathered a son, who died in a gangland shoot-out in the 1990s at the age of 25.
Immacolata, asked about her daughter’s future said Denise would lead a life far from the Camorra. ” I want her to never even hear that word pronounced, because it is synonymous with pain for everybody”, she told La Repubblica.
