Operazione Scripta Scelera: esito dell’udienza in cassazione sulle misure cautelari

Il 21 febbraio si è tenuta in corte di cassazione l’udienza sulle misure cautelari scaturita dal ricorso del PM Manotti della DDAA di Genova avverso l’ordinanza del tribunale del riesame del capoluogo ligure. Il 28 agosto le misure erano state annullate in riferimento al reato associativo (art 270 bis c. p.) e confermate, mantenendole inalterate, per le altre accuse. Il PM, in buona sostanza, ha chiesto che le misure venissero confermate anche per il reato associativo, contrariamente a quanto stabilito dal riesame. Questa richiesta, se accolta, avrebbe potenzialmente condotto in carcere gli otto compagni per i quali il GIP aveva stabilito la custodia cautelare e le restrizioni pure in relazione all’art. 270 bis c. p. La cassazione ha dichiarato inammissibile il ricorso del PM.

Brief update on Zac

 Following a request signed by the police commissioner of Naples Maurizio Agricola, the Naples supervisory court has ordered special surveillance to be applied for two years and six months with the following restrictions for Zac: not leave the house without prior warning to the supervisory authority, not leave before 7 am and not return after 8pm, not associate “habitually” with persons who have been sentenced or are under preventive or security measures, not have access to public facilities and public entertainment, to live honestly in respect of the law, not possess or carry weapons, to look for a job, not participate in public meetings, always carry a residence card, show up at the supervisory authority every Sunday or, in any case, on any invitation.  Added to this a deposit of 3000.00 euro to be paid as guarantee, but divided into five convenient instalments.

Recourse has been made. The measure will be carried out as soon as Zac gets out of prison, regardless of the outcome of the trial for 280 bis and 270 quinques, which meanwhile continues with scheduled hearings from now until the end of February (9^th January, 31^st January, 12^th February and 21^st February).  More in-depth updates and reflections to follow.

BIALYSTOK TRIAL SECOND INSTANCE JUDGEMENT

Tuesday 28th November the second instance judgement concerning“Operation Bialystok” was issued. The Public Prosecutor’s appeal request seemed poor from the motivational point of view, so much so that the Attorney General (representing the prosecution at this stage of the trial) asked at the end of the trial that the penalties imposed at the first degree trial be confirmed.
The Court confirmed the acquittal of the person already acquitted for the location of the explosive device at the carabinieri barracks of San Giovanni and further acquitted him of the other charges. The anarchist previously sentenced for the Eni-Enjoy car-sharing vehicles set on fire had his sentence confirmed (1 year’s prison, suspended).

The anarchist sentenced to 7 months in first instance was acquitted of all charges, while another three had their sentence reduced to 3 months following the acquittal of certain minor offences.
The judges have the usual 90 days to file the grounds for the sentence.
