Update on the review hearing for the precautionary measures of the operation ”Scripta Scelera” and details of the solidarity fund
Informing you that the review hearing for the precautionary measures of the operation Scripta Scelera in relation to the new repressive measures ordered by the judge for preliminary investigations Ghio concerning the procedure Scripta Scelera against the anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny” has been fixed for August 28th at the court of Genoa from 9am. An operation that on August 8th led to 11 house searches (among which that of the Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi” in Carrara), massive seizures of newspapers and publications (as well as phones, computers, etc.) and the notification of an investigation concerning 10 anarchist comrades, for whom the il public prosecutor Manotti had originally requested arrests on two occasions, from July 2022 and in March 2023.
From the second request, from which derives the order of the GIP leading to the operation of 8th August, with house arrests with all restrictions for four comrades of Carrara and five obligations to remain, with night curfew from 19.00 to 7.00, among whom also comrades in Aquila, Lucca and Spoleto.
In addition, for September 6th, again at the court of Genoa at 9am, the appeal hearing on the order of the PM against the GIP’s order that established precautionary measures on the basis of articles 270 bis and 414 of the penal code, aggravated with aims of terrorism, for eight comrades and aggravated 414 c. p. for one comrade (while there are no restrictions for the tenth comrade). The PM is asking for aggravation of the measure (i.e. arrest in prison) for the nine under precautionary measures. This last episode is the latest in an overall confusing direction that the court of Genoa is taking. The separation into two hearings (the 28th of August is that of the lawyers asking for the withdrawal of the measures and 6th September is that of the prosecutor demanding imprisonment), the fact that today (23rd August) the members of the tribunal are still not known and will be ruling in less than five days, is unusual even for the Kafkaesque Italian judiciary, with a possibility of two contradictory sentences.
Finally note that on the 17th and 18th of August electronic ankle bracelets were applied to the four comrades under house arrest.
Here are the details of the solidarity fund for the arrested comrades and all under investigation:
