Italy: ‘The carousel of repression’ – by Anarchist comrade Anna Beniamino

THE CAROUSEL OF REPRESSION

Almost eight years after the arrests for Scripta Manent, for the second time the Court of Cassation, on 24th April 2024, will pronounce judgement on the crime of “political massacre”, pursuant to art. 285 c.p., against Alfredo and myself, the last remaining fragment pending in the process (i), after a whirlwind of delays, recalculations, and repressive-jurisprudential manipulations (ii).

Although the repetition of error numbs the horror, and we are living in times of multiple horrors flaunted and total anaesthetisations, I believe there are still some words to be said about the ongoing annihilation attempt, about reactions, successful and attempted. Not so much because I believe this may be useful for our personal fates, but out of a kind of stubborn “romanticism” that considers silence and resignation always and even more lethal in a political process.

Massa, Italy. Operation Scripta Scelera: update on the trial with immediate judgement. Next hearing fixed for March 29th.

Operation Scripta Scelera: update on the trial with immediate judgement. Next hearing fixed for March 29th

On March 8th the first hearing took place of the summary trial at the court of Massa  arranged for four of the ten under investigation for Scripta Scelera. As we know, one of the comrades. Luigi, has been transferred to the prison of Bologna to have him connected via video conference. A warning to the presence of those in solidarity at the hearings and a punishment for breaking the silence imposed through restrictive house arrest with two texts. During the hearing the comrade read out a statement which had already been circulated.

The judge rejected the defence lawyers’ request for an annullity of the hearing on the basis of the decision to let Luigi participate in video conference. The civil parties appeared and witness lists were submitted: the Avvocatura dello Stato joined the civil action on behalf of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Presidency of the Republic, claiming that “Bezmotivny” had damaged the State’s image and that of public administration. The expert was not commissioned to transcribe the wiretaps because the designated expert stressed the impossibility of finishing the work alone in the time available, which was six months: the judge expects to award a collegial assignment at the next hearing. In the meantime, the trial will continue without these being available. During the next hearing, the examinations of the prosecution witnesses will begin, in particular, the deputy commissioner Ardolino will be heard and inspector Canosa of the Rome department of public safety.

[Italy] We won’t be complicit. We will be deserters (Spoleto, March 2024)

/ Italiano / English / French /

Responding to a parliamentary question, War Minister Guido Crosetto confirmed that the factory of Terrestrial Military Ammunition (SMMT) in Baiano di Spoleto could soon produce the new missiles and ammunition to be sent to Ukraine to support the ongoing war. The Defense Industries Agency (AID) indeed proposed three of its production sites –Spoleto, Capua and Fontana Liri – for the European Union’s tender, which provides a grant of 500 million euros to produce new armaments to be sent to Kiev.

Although it is still only a candidacy, the deal is given as very likely by the local newspapers, also by virtue of the fact that the Spoleto plant would be underutilized with respect to its “productive” (but perhaps we should say destructive) capacities.

EN/IT/ Updates for Brenner trial in Italy

Yesterday (7 March), the Court of Cassation issued its verdict for the second part (devastation and looting) of the Brenner trial.

The Supreme Court considered the statute of limitations for the crimes of aggravated personal injury aggravated, private violence, interruption of a public service and damage. The charges that therefore remain standing are aggravated theft and aggravated resistance.
Those who were sentenced to one year for the sole offence of resistance with suspended sentence have had their appeals rejected, so the convictions will now become definitive for seven people.

An appeal hearing will be scheduled to recalculate the sentences in view of the statute of limitations for most of the charges. The sentences will therefore be significantly reduced and according to calculations made by some comrades, they will not be more than three years for anyone. Therefore, no one will risk immediate arrest.

26th February – 5th March Mobilisation in solidarity with the defendants in the Brenner trial

Poster : The frontiers are my prison

sometimes you have to run against a wall, even if you know that it will
not be the wall but you breaking down – but this moment – not turning
back – it’s about dignity. Eventually it’s these moments which become
the cracks that turn the walls to ruins

while armies, weapons, ammunition and war-machines are crossing borders
everywhere to expand or preserve power, to kill

while commodities cross the globe to be delivered to the door of those
with money, in the blink of an eye

while technology is reaching every dark and unknown corner of this earth
and of our lives, without boundaries

First of all, I want to congratulate and salute the comrades from Třídní Válka, for their commitment and perseverance. In these last two sad years of war they have been active, including and especially in contacting revolutionary groups abroad, something that – in my opinion – few in our latitudes have done.

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.

Treviso, Italy: Juan Sorroche. A call to all comrades for an energetic presence at the cassation trial on January 26 in Rome for the action at the League of Treviso

  Juan Sorroche. A call to all comrades for an energetic presence at the cassation trial on January 26 in Rome for the action at the League of Treviso

A call to all comrades for an energetic presence at the Cassation trial in Rome on January 26 2024 for the action at the League of Treviso. Or what each individuality feels with creativity being the only limit.

On January 26th the Cassazione trial against me is due to take place in Rome for the action at the League of Treviso. l’azione alla Lega di Treviso.

—In the first instance trial, even after the PM removed the charge of political massacre, they sentenced me to 28 years’ prison plus 3 years’ parole.

— On Appeal they sentenced me to 14 years and 7 months, reducing it almost by half.

The prosecution made an appeal to the court of Cassation to have it negatively requalified, so as to go back to the preceding sentence of 28 years and three on parole, or worse.

My lawyer has also appealed, given the sentence to 14 years and 7 months, which are not peanuts.

Now I won’t be present at any of the hearings of the trial for the action at the League of Treviso, in protest against videoconferencing, as I already declared during the first instance trial. This is what I have done up until now.

Prison of San Remo, Italy:  Luca Dolce, aka Stecco: – Letter from the prison of Sanremo

25/12/2023

Prison of Sanremo

This is not a communique. You will not read reflections on my arrest or concerning this new prison experience, or about other political questions. These will come at the appropriate moment, that is, when I consider some personal matters settled, and some reflections have matured over these first months of detention.

This humble piece has the simple purpose – for me necessary – to thank, greet, and bring solidarity even from within these walls.

I waited a little before deciding to put down these words, even if the decision to put them on paper had already been made the evening of December 4th, day of the hearing at the court of Imperia for the fake ID found on me the day that my experience as a fugitive was ended by an operational group of the Nocs.
