drol 11,947 Posted December 19, 2023 On 26/02/2023 at 15:24, drol said: A couple of Italian possibilities: Bruno Contrada, prominent intelligence and police officer who was famously arrested in 1992 for protecting mafia. Was "gravely ill and dying" in 2007! Of course his health improved when sent out of jail. Recently cleared of all accuses, TV news said he has been "on life support at home for a while". This could be another scam to get money, but the man will be 92 soon. Vittorio Feltri , Italian right wing journalist noted for his controversial remarks and political uncorrectness. Diagnosed with breast cancer (yep) in 2021, seems to be much thinner than before nowadays and rumours of lung cancer have been floating for a while. Feltri looks like death warmed up and slurs all his words (which reminds me of Silvio's last videos) in his latest appearances. One for 2024 I guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
