Some updates on Ghespe’s situation

After about two years, on the night of February 14-15, 2025, a police arrest ended Ghespe’s status as a fugitive. From the moment of his arrest, the Spanish state guards were immediately notable for their characteristic cowardice. The beatings, threats, and what even the comrade recognized as psychological and physical torture led him to make an extreme act in order to be able to escape from a situation of absolute danger to his safety. In order to leave the Soto del Real prison in Madrid, he cut the veins of his arms and was transferred to the psychiatric hospital. As a matter of procedure, endangering one’s life leads consequently to a TSO (psychiatric compulsory treatment), so the comrade was inoculated with sedatives and antipsychotics. He is very concerned to point out that the act was not done with suicidal intentions, nor did such thoughts ever cross his mind. The amount of blood he lost was such that he had to receive transfusions.

During his stay in the psychiatric ward, he continued to suffer torture, such as pressure on open wounds by hospital staff. After being discharged from the hospital, on March 4 he was extradited to Italy, specifically to the Rebibbia prison in Rome, his first stop after his flight from Madrid.

Trentino,  Massimo imprisoned in “semi-freedom”

From yesterday, Wednesday 26th March, our dear friend and comrade Massimo finds himself in the prison of Spini di Gardolo (Tn), in the so-called “semi-freedom” regime, for an accumulation of definitive sentences from 2 years and seven months (the main sentence, of little over 2 years, is related to clashes that took place in Rovereto on the occasion Salvini’s visit: one of the episodes for which Giulio also finds himself locked up). Given that his request for semi-freedom has been accepted, in about two weeks’ time he will be able to go out to work: which attenuates, but doesn’t extinguish, the rage of knowing him imprisoned.

Pisa, Carrara, Police raids in Pisa and Carrara related to the action against the court during the campaign in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Two house searches took place at dawn on Wednesday, March 26th 2025, in the cities of Pisa and Carrara under articles 110, 56, 424 of the penal code, aggravated by article 270 bis 1, regarding the placing of an incendiary device at the court of Pisa [collocazione di un ordigno incendiario presso il tribunale di Pisa] found by the Italian State security forces in February of 2023. The latter was part of the large-scale mobilization in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito against 41 bis and life imprisonment without appeal..

The investigation, carried out by the Anti-Mafia and Antiterrorism District Directorate of Florence, are, like all the investigations against the anarchist movement, intended to threaten revolutionaries and the spirit of initiative which characterizes them.

The struggle continues.
