Italy: Judgment of the Court of Cassation on the action against the League of Villorba: the judgement of the Court of Appeal against Juan Sorroche (26 January, 2024) is confirmed.

Judgment of the Court of Cassation on the action against the League of Villorba: the judgement of the Court of Appeal against Juan Sorroche (26 January, 2024) is confirmed.

Here is a brief update from the website “Il Rovescio” concerning the sentence of the court of cassation of 26th January re the trial against the anarchist comrade Juan Sorroche, presently held in section AS2 of the prison of Terni, for the action against the premises of the League of Villorba (in the province of Treviso) of 12 August 2018 (two devices, the first exploded, the second unexploded and defused by police). Recently, just before the hearing, the comrade published a text for the moment only spread as an attachment to be downloaded (“Piccola analisi del contesto della mia ultima condanna nell’appello di 14 anni e 7 mesi nel periodo di lotta di solidarietà ad Alfredo”), which we will be publishing on this website as soon as possible.

The comrade’s address:
Juan Antonio Sorroche Fernandez
C. C. di Terni
strada delle Campore 32
05100 Terni

Last 26th January, the Court of Cassation rejected both the appeal of the defence and that of the PM, confirming the sentence of 14 years and 7 months’ prison inflicted on Juan at the appeal trial for the action against the premises of the League of Villorba (Treviso).
Love and rage for Juan and all imprisoned comrades!

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.

 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 (9th January, 31st January, 12th February and 21st February).  More in-depth updates and reflections to follow.

Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack against two offices of Eni Plenitude (1st January 2024)

Rome: Incendiary attack against two offices of Eni Plenitude 1st January 2024

On New Year’s Eve we attacked two offices of ENI PLENITUDE of Rome, one in Viale Somalia and another in Via Togliatti.

The action was carried out by placing three incendiary devices (composed of fireworks and gas cannisters) between the windows and shutters of the premises.

We struck Eni due to its responsibility in the exploitation and pollution of the Earth and the militarisation of territories, supposedly in course of being developed.

Wars are inherent to capitalism, thanks to which capital is expanding, creating new markets and resources to be plundered. Eni has interests in the search for deposits off the Gaza strip and is closely linked to Italian geopolitical interests.
Striking national capital to strike capital’s war.

This action is a contribution to the SWITCH OFF! Campaign.

Rome, Italy: Claim for the incendiary barricade and stone-throwing against the headquarters of Terna (Rome, 2nd November 2023)

Rome: Claim for the incendiary barricade and stone-throwing against the headquarters of Terna (Rome, 2nd November 2023)

Claim for incendiary barricade and stone-throwing Rome – 2nd November 2023
In the night of 2 November we placed and set fire to tyres to block the traffic in front of the headquarters of Terna spa of via Egidio Galbani in both directions and threw stones to break the windows. Terna is the main company in Italy as regards the construction and maintenance of electrical infrastructure, but also operates abroad in countries such as Chile.

Terna is not only responsible for the environmental devastation and pollution resulting from the construction of power lines and related transformer stations, as a leading player in the process of electrifying the world as a result of the unhealthy idea of progress that this deadly system propagandises, but is also promoter of the “green revolution” caused by the recent needs of restructuring of capitalism which will only bring further exploitation of ecosystems and people. Denouncing its responsibilities is one of the objectives of our action.
This action is to be included in the international campaign for the liberation of Marcelo Villarroel. Marcelo is an anarchist prisoner in the prisons of the State of Chile, imprisoned after being in hiding in 2007 for a series of bank expropriations.

Italy: For a thousand reasons. Solidarity presence with the anarchists accused re the publication of “Bezmotivny” (Massa, 9th January 2024)

For a thousand reasons. Solidarity presence with the anarchists accused re the publication of “Bezmotivny” (Massa, 9th January 2024)

Last August 8th a police operation took place involving ten anarchists, putting them under investigation for subversive association with aims of terrorism and instigation to commit crime aggravated with aims of terrorism, in reference to the publication of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny”. In response to an original request for the imprisonment of the ten under investigation, the judiciary decreed nine precautionary measures: four were therefore placed under restrictive house arrest, while another five have mandatory residence with obligation to be home at night.

After the first months, during which – between prison and house arrest – there were some temporary aggravations to the precautionary measures, a trial hearing for an immediate judgment has been fixed at the court of Massa, for 9th January 2024 for the comrades under house arrest Gaia, Gino, Luigi e Paolo.

Italy: Police raids between Bologna, Lombardy and Trentino (16th November 2023)

This morning, 16th November, 2023  the ROS (of Bologna, Milano, Brescia and Florence) raided the Spazio di documentazione anarchico “Il Tribolo” and the homes of 19 comrades between Bologna, Lombardia and Trentino.

The raids are part of investigations for 270 bis, whose opening had initially been notified to 6 comrades in June 2023 and for which the RIS carried out a number of examinations of various materials found at the sites of the contested facts throughout the summer.

Rome, Italy: Sentence of the Bialystok appeal trial (28th November 2023)

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.

Anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno has died on 6th December at the age of 86

You will always be alive with us through our action and our lives. “ACTION REPLACES TEARS”

Alfredo Maria Bonanno, born in 1937 in Catania, Sicily, is one of the most prolific contemporary anarchists, responsible for Anarchismo editions and other publishing ventures. In 1977 he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his book La Gioia Armata (Armed Joy). This book had been published at a historical moment when the Italian revolutionary movement was openly going on the offensive, while similar conditions existed in other European countries (Germany, Spain, England, Greece, Chile and more) and the question of violence was on the daily agenda. His contribution lies in a celebration of the pervasive class violence that liberates and satisfies the individual, but at the same time he sounds the alarm about the emergence of the armed party, which reduces the class conflict to a militaristic dimension, imposing the mediation of a small minority of armed men on the complexity of tens of thousands of people struggling by all means against the current reorganization of Capital, which at that moment seemed weak.

In the spirit of the book, all authentic liberating and destructive action comes from a logic of satisfaction in the struggle, not a self-sacrificing duty in accordance with the dictates of a micro-bureaucracy. The Italian Supreme Court ordered the destruction of the copies of the book that were in circulation, and sent a circular to public libraries to dispose of any copies they might have had.

Several librarians objected to this Nazi-inspired tactic. Its circulation was generally banned, and copies were confiscated from the homes of anarchist militants in the context of police raids on houses.

Shortly afterwards, the author was accused of being an “instigator” of the Azione Rivoluzionaria, an armed organisation of 1976-79, which operated on the basis of “affinity groups” throughout central Italy, mainly against newspapers and party offices, and similar “manipulative mechanisms of consensus-building”. In 1979 the organisation was practically dismantled with the arrest of 86 people and the arrest of Salvatore Cinieri and Gianfranco Faina. The first went on to die in prison in a scuffle with criminal inmates when he defended a prisoner suspected of submitting an escape plan, while the second was released to die of lung cancer after being diagnosed with a tumour while in custody.

Operazione Scripta Scelera: Gino Vatteroni è stato trasferito agli arresti domiciliari con tutte le restrizioni (7 novembre 2023)

Il 30 ottobre il tribunale del riesame di Genova ha disposto il trasferimento agli arresti domiciliari (con le restrizioni nelle comunicazioni, nelle visite e il braccialetto elettronico) per il compagno anarchico Gino Vatteroni, tradotto in carcere il 4 ottobre scorso per un aggravamento delle misure cautelari nei confronti suoi e di Veronica. Per quest’ultima compagna il passaggio dagli arresti domiciliari restrittivi all’obbligo di dimora con rientro notturno e tre firme a settimana è avvenuto il giorno successivo all’udienza, mentre Gino è rimasto nel carcere “San Michele” di Alessandria fino al 7 novembre. Attualmente si trova agli arresti domiciliari restrittivi.

Solidarietà con i compagni e le compagne inquisiti per l’operazione Scripta Scelera contro il quindicinale anarchico internazionalista “Bezmotivny”!

Operation Scripta Scelera: Gino Vatteroni transferred to house arrest with all restrictions (Italy, November 7, 2023)

On October 30th, the re-examination court of Genoa ordered the transfer under house arrest (with restrictions on communications, visits and the electronic bracelet) for anarchist comrade Gino Vatteroni, who was transferred in prison on October 4th for an aggravation of the precautionary measures against him and Veronica. For the latter comrade, the passage from restrictive house arrest to the obligation to stay in the municipality of residence with nightly return to her home (from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) and three signatures a week at a local barracks took place the day after the hearing in Genoa, while Gino remained in the ‘San Michele’ prison in Alessandria until November 7th. Finally he was transferred, so he is now under restrictive house arrest.

Trento: Updates about Nasci, comrade prisoner in the prison of Trento

Some more news about our friend Nasci and what happened to him, leading to his imprisonment in Spini di Gardolo.

Nasci was arrested by the DIGOS on the morning of October 10th for a sentence of one year and two months for three different episodes: the occupation in February 2017 of the town hall of Municipio di Mori (a village of about 10.000 inhabitents near Rovereto), during a well-attended lively mobilization against a project of environmental devastation – since realized unfortunately – ; a writing on a wall in Florence in August of the same year, during an initiative in solidarity with those arrested in Operation Panico; the events of February 9th 2018 in Trento, when comrades contested creatively (among which serious damage to the clothing shop of a fascist stabber) the usual Casapound event on the occasion of the “Foibe Day”.*

On the edge of the precipice: the text of a leaflet given out in Trento by anarchist comrades on the occasion of an initiative against repression in solidarity with the oppressed in Gaza.(Italy)

We are publishing here – in a slightly modified version – the text of a leaflet given out in Trento by anarchist comrades on the occasion of an initiative against repression that turned into a meeting in solidarity with the oppressed in Gaza, against the attempted genocide in act at this moment by the State of Israel. A first contribution of ours to  orient oneself in the abyss that is opening in the Middle East – and everywhere.

Here in leaflet format in  it pdf: Aprecipizio

We are also adding a graphic version made by a comrade, whom we thank: a_precipizio_grafico

On the edge of the precipice

As State repression strikes harder and harder, in Gaza the gates of the abyss are opening wide.

What has been experienced here against rebel minorities for years – constant mystification of the concept of «terrorism», prison isolation of comrades to prevent them even reading and writing, closure of websites and detention of the editors of an anarchist fortnightly – now spreads to anyone who disagrees or even remembers the history that war propaganda would like to erase. Newspaper editors hailing the destruction of Gaza in television parlors, students beaten in Livorno for a banner reading «Neither with Israel nor with Hamas», French and German governments banning demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinian people as it «supports terrorism» – all this is telling even the most distracted one precise thing: we are at war.

Rome’s Surveillance Court has denied the request on behalf of Alfredo Cospito to revoke his detention under 41bis prison regime
(Oct.23rd, 2023)

Today, Oct. 23rd. We inform you all on the outcome of the hearing held Oct. 19th. at Rome’s Surveillance Court: the request for an immediate suspension of detention under the 41 bis regime of the anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito has been denied. We remind you that Alfredo is currently held prisoner in the Bancali prison, in Sassari (Address: Alfredo Cospito, C. C. “G. Bacchiddu”, strada provinciale 56 n. 4, Località Bancali, 07100 Sassari, Italy).

On this occasion, notwithstanding the favourable opinions of some anti-terrorism departments – namely, the Direzione Nazionale Antimafia e Antiterrorismo (Anti-mafia and Ant-terrorism National Department) and the Direzione Centrale della Polizia di Prevenzione (Central Directorate of Prevention Police) concerning a suspension of his detention under 41 bis, the political will to keep our comrade within this prison regime has prevailed.
