A senior member of the Mafia who was sentenced to 14 years behind bars has just been allowed out - because he said he was allergic to prison.

Giulio Lampada, 44 – who managed the affairs of the deadly Italian Condello clan – lost one-and-a-half stone in seven months and never left his cell.

He reportedly refused to eat anything other than fruits and snacks while he was inside and after being visited by dozens of doctors, was finally declared "incompatible" with prison.

According to the reports, a life of crime had led him to develop an aversion for men in uniforms and bars that had caused him to become depressed.

Unbelievably, a judge has allowed him to move back home to Milan with his wife and three daughters to continue his sentence under house arrest so he can get better.
