Late in the afternoon came the verdict in the Scintilla trial, the one that put 18 defendants and the decades-long struggle against administrative detention centers in Turin on the stand.
The reading of the verdict took place while a protest was underway right under the walls of Corso Brunelleschi, in that uninterrupted flow of solidarity that still feeds between inside and outside.
The general accusatory structure based on the crime of “Subversive Association against the State” (art. 270 c. p.) fell decreeing the acquittal for all/all.
The heavier specific crimes, manufacture – possession – transport of explosive material, which were charged against two comrades and a comrade also fell; the prosecutor had asked for 6 years and four months for them in addition to a fine of 20,000 euros.
There were, however, some convictions, which we report and for which we await the reading of the papers:
– 4 years and two months for an explosive device at the company that managed meals in the center of Turin for a comrade at that time;
– 3 years for conspiracy to commit arson (for a riot inside the former Cie), for a comrade;
– 1 year and three months for a comrade; and 1 year for incitement to commit a crime affixed to 10 others.
The operation began on Feb. 7, 2019, with the clearing of the Asilo and high-security imprisonment for some comrades, thus concludes the first degree.

Public communiqué of anarchist, subversive anti-authoritarian, nihilist anti-speciesist and anarcho-feminist affinities in the face of the current situation of comrade Alfredo Cospito in the Italian fascist prisons almost 90 days after the beginning of his hunger strike.
As comrades who support the anarchic struggle against prisons, prison society and the system of domination, we express through these words our unwavering support for comrade Alfredo Cospito, kidnapped by the Italian state in the prison of Bancali, Sassari, Sardinia; a center of extermination in which the nefarious regime of 41 bis has been applied to him, with the aim of destroying him as a subject and preventing him from maintaining any kind of contact with all his comrades inside and outside of the prisons.
Alfredo has been on hunger strike for almost 90 days demanding the end of the application of the damned regime, which extorts our comrades through the torture of isolation to induce them to give information or die, only in these two situations 41 bis ceases to be applied.
As like-minded comrades we repudiate the torture applied to Alfredo and other comrades, we know that they fear us because of our unrestricted commitment to end the system of domination, a commitment that does not end with torture, nor with prison, nor with death itself, and for this reason today Alfredo is risking his life firmly and without hesitation.
From the territory occupied by the Chilean colonialist state and from different territories of Abya Yala we tell you that the struggle of our comrade is also ours and that the consequences of a bad end to it will be seen and felt everywhere.
