Ten Comrades Arrested in Police Operation Against Anarchist Newspaper in Italy

On August 8, at dawn, the public prosecutor’s office of Genoa and the Digos (antiterrorist police) of La Spezia led yet another operation of repression against the anarchist movement. Ten anarchist comrades are accused in this investigation, including five comrades from Carrara, for whom the prosecutor initially asked for detention. In addition to searches in the homes, the Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi”, the historic center of anarchists in Carrara, has been the subject of a descent. Magazines, books, leaflets, posters and computer supplies have been seized. The preliminary investigation judge has decided on four residential assignments with all restrictions, five house arrests with return to prison at night. One comrade is not subject to any restriction. Luigi, one of the four residential comrades had no official residence: he was therefore transferred to the Spezia prison.

The comrades are accused of subversive association for purposes of terrorism (art. 270 bis of the penal code) and incentive to commit a crime (article 424 of the penal code) aggravated by the objective of terrorism, with regard to the publication, dissemination and use of information on terrorism, in connection with the publication, from 2020, of the internationalist bimonthly anarchist “Bezmotivny”, as well as to attack on the honor and prestige of the President of the Republic, and clandestine printing.
