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.
