Alfredo Cospito – 30 March, ”Remains dangerous and without a trace of remorse”

Today, 4 days after the decision of the Supervisory Court and after the general outcry not only from comrades but also from the whole of the progressive – and not only – world, the Italian media – after days of silence where there is no substantial information about his health condition – are reporting and highlighting the ‘reasons’ for the rejection. Reasons such as the judges’ insistence that Alfredo, in addition to 41bis, ‘could have indicated, organised and communicated hits and targets to the FAI comrades’, with the aim of carrying them out.

At a time when more than 200 lawyers and judges in the country have signed a petition to protest against his illegal detention in 41bis, the media are speaking of the ‘obvious danger’ because of which the court has again rejected the appeal of the defence, bringing back the original decision of the Supreme Court of Rome in December 2022, according to which ‘if Alfredo had remained in maximum security, he would have continued to ‘lean’ on his ‘free associates’ and be a point of reference and a source of indication and planning as to the lines to be followed and the targets to be hit’… .

27/3/23: The Supervisory Court of Milan replied by rejecting the request for house arrest for health reasons for anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito.

At the same time the Sassari court reached the same decision. In both cases with the long motivations already written. The comrade’s behaviour is defined instrumental in obtaining changes in political and judicial decisions.

While contradictions are accumulating within the political and judicial apparatuses (e.g., opinion of the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, the Attorney General of the Supreme Court, Sibilla re-examination, etc.) each time one is faced with an organ that has the power to resolve the question raised by the comrade’s struggle immediately, the party of the death sentence applies all its political power to block any possible way out.
