Italy: Massa trial begins against four anarchists

Posted on 2024/02/03 - 2024/02/03 by darknights

On January 16, the Massa court held the second hearing in the trial with an immediate judgment against Gaia, Gino, Luigi and Paolo, who are under house arrest with full restrictions for operation Scripta Scelera.

At the hearing on January 9, the judge had decided to postpone the trial until January 16, with a possible change of sole judge on the case. The new judge has set the next hearing for Friday March 8.

At this hearing, he will have to decide whether to accept the case or refer it to an outside court.

This later date has been decided above all to take into account the results of the hearing on judicial control measures, which will take place on February 21 at the Court of Cassation in Rome, and which will focus essentially on the crime of association with which the defendants are charged.

Italy: Operation Scripta Scelera – immediate trial sought for Gaia, Gino, Luigi and Paolo. The trial will begin on Jan. 9

Posted on 2023/12/03 - 2023/12/03 by darknights

In recent weeks, the four comrades under restrictive house arrest since Aug. 8 for Operation Scripta Scelera were notified of the decree setting the immediate trial and consequently the start of the trial at the Massa court, before the monocratic judge, next Jan. 9, 2024. A total of ten anarchists are involved in the investigation: in addition to the four under house arrest, there are five comrades under the obligation to stay overnight (one among them currently also under the obligation to sign) and one comrade under investigation at large. For all of them, Federico Manotti, prosecutor of the Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office, had requested arrest in prison for subversive association for the purpose of terrorism, incitement to commit a crime with the aggravating factor of the purpose of terrorism, clandestine printing, as well as only for some also offending the honor and prestige of the president of the republic — offenses allegedly consumed with the editing and distribution of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny.” The request for immediate trial concerns only the charges of aggravated incitement to commit a crime and insulting the honor and prestige of the president of the republic.

Recall that the immediate trial is a special procedure characterized by the absence of the preliminary hearing: in fact, it goes from the preliminary investigation to the trial hearing. This procedure is actionable only in the event that the prosecutor and the investigating judge, who must validate the request, believe they have overwhelming evidence of the suspect’s guilt and that he or she is in a state of detention (in prison or under house arrest).

In the recent past, the Rome prosecutor’s office had the tracotence to proceed with this formula in the context of Operation Bialystok, but this did not bring great luck to the inquisitors. Lately, the trial of comrade Marco Marino, known as Zac, has also been taking place under immediate trial.

However, this is the first time, as far as we can remember, that in the context of an anti-anarchist investigation the immediate trial is being triggered for only part of the suspects, breaking the investigation into several strands. This is an obvious attempt to sap solidarity and, above all, to quickly dismiss a part of the proceedings with a precedent that can be used in the future to plug the anarchist press.

The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda… we will neither be silenced nor stopped. Poster in solidarity with those investigated in the Scripta Scelera operation (Italy)

The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda…

Four house arrests with restrictions on visits, communication and the electronic bracelet, five obligations to stay in the municipality of residence combined with the obligation to return home at night from 7 pm to 7 am (including one subsequently aggravated to house arrest), in front of a request of ten arrests in prison; house searches and against the Circolo Culturale Anarchico “Gogliardo Fiaschi” and a commercial typography in Carrara (initially placed under seizure and released after a few days); huge seizures of papers and anarchist and revolutionary publications… This was the outcome of the repressive operation Scripta Scelera of August 8^th against the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny”. A “surgical raid” against a paper that for three years has published analyses and reflections aimed at the critical in-depth analysis of social reality, as well as claims and informative texts concerning actions of attack against structures and figures of the state and capital, responsible for all forms of exploitation and social oppression.

After the media hullabaloo and pompous declarations, if you allow, we also have something to say

We are not surprised by operations like this. Ever since anarchism emerged – not from the scholarly abstractions of some philosopher, but from revolutionary experiences, from the aspirations of the oppressed – anarchists’ papers have been hit. States have a long history of massacres, torture, assassinations, thousands of years of imprisonment against revolutionaries. We have the impetus of the dream and the risk of action, the determination of the will and the strength of necessity. And we continue on the path we have taken… Let inquisitors and illustrious magistrates get over it, beyond and against all censorship and repression, we will continue to rejoice every time this authoritarian social reality is attacked, its certainties shattered and troubled by the roar of revolt.

Faced with an increasingly bleak present – the abyss of global war, misery, generalised ecological disaster, techno-sciences, increasingly repressive political-economic manoeuvres at work, at the borders, against youth – the state needs to run for cover, trying to eradicate the “domestic enemy”: the exploited who do not lower their heads, those who do not resign themselves to this state of things, those who continue to cultivate the revolutionary transformation of the present through thought and action.

Let us not be discouraged! With the consciousness of revolutionary and internationalist solidarity with proletarians and the exploited throughout the world, we will continue to dream, seeking to lay the foundations and contribute to the destruction of the state, of capital, of all authority.

…we will neither be silenced nor stopped

Let us persist in upholding the justness of revolutionary action, against every state and every war of the masters!

Italy: Juan Sorroche and Marco Marino – Words of solidarity of anarchist prisoners in AS2 in Terni prison in response to the words of anarchist prisoners, subversives, fighting from Chilean prisons (August 21, 2023)

WORDS OF SOLIDARITY FROM ANARCHIST PRISONERS OF AS2 TERNI IN RESPONSE TO THE WORDS OF ANARCHIST PRISONERS, SUBVERSIVES, IN STRUGGLE FROM CHILEAN PRISONS

“Your struggle is ours, every gesture against this world has your imprint… because we are one pack that never forgets its own and its own, regardless, of where we are” – Public letter by Marcelo Villarroel, September 14, 2019

– Internationalist solidarity for the end of the sentence and freedom of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, arrested in Argentina in 2008 after nearly 16 years in prison. Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Pinochet’s military “coup” in Chile, wanted and created by North American imperialism as in Ukraine today, the comrade is sentenced by Pinochet’s legacy military justice. Today this legal aberration is applied, which coexists comfortably with the consensus democracy of the Chilean state, now ruled by the Boric left. Democracy and reactionary fascism are two sides of the same coin, tools of the Imperialist-State.

– Solidarity in the face of the beginning of the trial against comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar [the judicial hearing, the main trial phase, began on July 18], the vengeance of state rule does not stop against those who go on the offensive by attacking its untouchability and impunity.

– Solidarity with Comrade Juan Aliste Vega, also convicted by Pinochet’s military justice, and Comrade Joaquin Garcia Chancks.

– Solidarity for the downgrading of anarchist Alfredo Cospito from 41 bis. Against 41 bis, out everyone, and for the abolition of life imprisonment.

– Solidarity with comrade Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito convicted in a political trial on the abnormal charge of Article 285 c. p. p., massacre against the security of the state, or commonly called political massacre, this is the first time a massacre without massacre against the internal enemy has been used in this way in Italy. Article 285 c. p. c., massacre against the security of the state, has not been applied to the massacres that have been perpetrated in this country, Piazza Fontana, the Bologna station, Piazza della Loggia, since the 1970s of the so-called strategy of tension, massacres carried out by the Italian state, but, like Pinochet’s “coup”, wanted and created by North American imperialism in its struggle to keep the world under its control.

Operation ”Scripta Scelera” against the fortnightly “Bezmotivny”: first initiatives in solidarity, a brief update, some observations

In the early morning of Tuesday, August 8th, a repressive operation – ridiculously named Scripta Scelera (these fine people always come up with some “ambitious” or suggestive name for their operations) [Latin: “written crimes”] – was unleashed by the State’s repressive apparatus in various cities. It was aimed at shutting down the anarchist internationalist fortnightly magazine “Bezmotivny”, thereby striking the action of publication of analysis and reflection as well as, and in particular, texts claiming actions, sabotage and initiatives of attack undertaken by anarchists and revolutionaries throughout the world against the State and capital.

Let’s take a brief look at the facts. Mainly involving anarchist comrades in Carrara and the “Gogliardo Fiaschi” Anarchist Cultural Circle, the operation consisted of notification of an investigation against 10 comrades, all of whom were subjected to house searches (as well as that against the above-mentioned anarchist circle), and significant seizures of newspapers and various publications. Concerning the 10 under investigation (for whom Genovese public prosecutor Manotti twice requested their arrest in prison), the judge for the preliminary investigations ordered house arrest with all restrictions (including electronic ankle bracelets, which were not applied due to lack of the necessary equipment) for four of the comrades, a night curfew from 19.00 to 7am for another five, while one comrade has no restrictions (at the police station they notified him of a two years’ compulsory expulsion order from the province of La Spezia). One of the comrades under house arrest was initially taken to prison on order of the same prosecutor, due to the fact that he did not have a certificate of residence. In the context of the operation, a printing press in Avenza, where the paper had recently been printed, was also shut down (and later re-opened).

Italy: ‘How does it change?’ (Come si cambia?) from the 12th issue of the internationalist anarchist newspaper “Bezmotivny”

Posted on 2023/08/14 - 2023/08/14 by darknights

DN Note: On 8th August a repressive operation has been inflicted upon 10 comrades, resulting in four house arrests with all restrictions, five residence obligations with overnight return, and one comrade in prison due to not having proof of residence. All are accused of the charge of subversive association for the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis c. p.) and incitement to commit crimes (art. 424 c. p.) aggravated by the purpose of terrorism, in connection with the publication, as of 2020, of the fortnightly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny,” as well as offense to the honor and prestige of the president of the republic and clandestine printing.

We translate and reproduce below the editorial from the last publication of Bezmotivny No.12 ‘Come si cambia?’ (How does it change?)

More about the unfolding operation: https://darknights.noblogs.org/post/2023/08/11/italy-crackdown-operation-against-anarchist-newspaper-bezmotivny/

How does it change?

Within the Italian anarchist movement, is the need and importance of a printed newspaper still felt? In a world dominated by digital and immediacy, is it still subversive and revolutionary to print and disseminate a material tool of anarchist propaganda?

These are two questions that we have been asking ourselves over the two and a half years that the fortnightly “Bezmotivny” has been out, and which become all the more urgent now, at a time when the paper has been going through, unfortunately for several months already, a deep crisis that seriously threatens its existence.

Yes, comrades, “Bezmotivny” is in danger of never coming out again, seriously beset by two fundamental problems.

The first is financial: there is no more money to be able to pay for the printing and mailing of the newspaper. The fact is that nearly 50 percent of subscribers have not yet renewed their subscriptions for the current year, although they continue to receive the periodical. In addition, some places that receive 5 or 10 copies to disseminate it have long since stopped sending us money from newspapers sold. Add to this the increases in paper and shipping costs, and that’s it.

The second problem involves both the editorial staff and, in our opinion, the anarchist movement itself. The editorial staff, inasmuch as only 3 or 4 comrades are now left to work constantly for the release of each issue of the journal, while the others make minimal material contributions. The movement, in that the initial project of “Bezmotivny” to enlarge the editorial area to include other and different comrades outside the Carrara area (from which the idea of the fortnightly came and which saw comrades give heads and arms to the paper) has essentially failed. Failed both in the enlargement of the editorial staff itself and as contributions on certain issues or debates. Because, if there were contributions at certain times, these were unfortunately occasional and did not lead to more constant collaboration on the part of the comrades involved, as was the initial intention of the paper. Collaboration that, beyond the articles or interventions sent, also concerned the diffusion of the periodical within the area of anarchism to which it, for good or ill, referred, and that if on the part of some realities was constant and passionate, on the part of many others unfortunately did not develop.

Italy: Crackdown operation against anarchist newspaper ‘Bezmotivny’

Posted on 2023/08/11 - 2023/08/11 by darknights

CRACKDOWN OPERATION AGAINST ANARCHIST NEWSPAPER BEZMOTIVNY

At dawn today, August 8, the state, at the hands of the Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office (in the figure of prosecutor Federico Manotti) and the DIGOS in La Spezia, carried out yet another repressive operation against the anarchist movement, with which it would like to silence – as was already happening over a hundred years ago with the “anti-anarchist laws” – every revolutionary yearning and aspiration.

Ten anarchist comrades are accused in this investigation, including five comrades from Carrara, for whom the prosecutor had originally requested arrest in prison: an order that Preliminary Investigation Judge Riccardo Ghio has changed to four house arrests with all restrictions, five residence obligations with overnight return, and one comrade with no restrictions. For one of the four comrades receiving house arrest was ordered by the GIP to be translated into prison as he lacked a formal residence: Luigi was therefore transferred to the La Spezia prison.

In addition to the house raids, the Anarchist Cultural Centre “Gogliardo Fiaschi,” the historical anarchist headquarter in Carrara, was raided. Magazines, books, leaflets, posters, and computers were subjected to seizure.

The comrades are charged with subversive association for the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis c. p.) and incitement to commit crimes (art. 424 c. p.) aggravated by the purpose of terrorism, in connection with the publication, as of 2020, of the fortnightly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny,” as well as offense to the honor and prestige of the president of the republic and clandestine printing.

Updates will follow on the steps that will be taken in solidarity with the comrades.

Revolutionary solidarity with the comrades arrested and subjected to the restrictive measures!

No gods nor state, neither servants nor masters!

Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi”
Carrara, August 8, 2023

–

On Tuesday, August 8, a crackdown operation against the anarchist movement was deployed in several cities, ridiculously called “Scripta Scelera” (perhaps an educated reference to the laws defined as heinous against the anarchist movement in France in the last decade of the 19th century? Or perhaps a reference to the recent trial Scripta Manent?). The investigation, directed by the DIGOS [political police] in La Spezia and the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office in Genoa, is aimed particularly at targeting the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny,” published from the last months of 2020. The original request for ten prison arrests (five of which were aimed at the comrades of the “Gogliardo Fiaschi” Anarchist Circle in Carrara) by prosecutor Manotti – already responsible for multiple proceedings against anarchist comrades -, was changed by the judge for the preliminary investigation into four house arrests with all restrictions and electronic bracelet, five obligations of residence with overnight return and one comrade without any restrictions. A fellow recipient of house arrest was transferred to prison in La Spezia as he lacked a formal residence.

With this operation, once again, as was the case with the Scripta Manent trial (which involved convictions for the publication of the latest edition of “Anarchist Black Cross” and the management of some websites) and the Sibilla operation against the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo,” the state intends to hit in a special way anarchist publications with the intention of giving a warning to the entire revolutionary movement.

We place no trust in the justice of the State: we uphold our ideas, we fight for the opening up of possibilities for liberation, we rejoice when the structures and figures responsible for exploitation and oppression are attacked. To take action against the state and the bosses is to have matured a determination such that it does not need to be “instigated,” because it is autonomy of thought and action that is expressed, not gregariousness and subordination to orders (a characteristic, this one, typical instead of the servants of the state).

Moreover, with this operation the state intends to restore the prestige of counterterrorism and the anti-mafia unit, eroded by the mobilization in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against 41 bis and indefinite life imprisonment. This investigation, in fact, unfolds under the coordination of the National Directorate of Anti-Mafia and Counterterrorism, one of the top structures responsible for the repressive offensive against the anarchist and revolutionary movement.

SOLIDARITY WITH COMRADES UNDER ARREST AND UNDER THE RESTRICTIONS!
AGAINST CENSORSHIP, WE PERSEVERE IN AGITATION AND ANARCHIST PROPAGANDA!
TODAY AS YESTERDAY, AGAINST THE STATE, CAPITAL AND EVERY AUTHORITY!

You will pay dearly, you will pay everything!

With the Feb. 24 ruling, the men and women of power made their willingness to condemn Alfredo to death definitively explicit: in fact, the ermine-clad minions supinely carried out the will of the government officials and rejected the petition for demotion. “Soon I will die, I hope someone after me will continue the struggle,” these would be Alfredo’s words, leaked from his hospital bed. Our struggle will continue. We owe it to him for the example, moral highness and ability not to bend that he expressed as a revolutionary anarchist. We owe it to the many revolutionary comrades and comrades buried in prisons in every state in the world who do not lower their heads and are punished for the consistency of their actions and convictions. We owe it to ourselves because in a confused, inconclusive, ruffled way, we were able as an anarchist movement to huddle around one of our comrades and express that range of practices that opened the glimmer of reminding us that anarchy is not a nice cultural and ethical dream but can be, become again, the action of attacking the present and the will of the oppressed that becomes practice and speech in challenging the oppressors and their arrogant wills. But in this moment we also think we owe it to someone else: we owe it to the journalists, the politicians, the magistrates who in their cynical sicumera rejoiced at the news that Alfredo will die with contemptuous and bloody exultation. For them we must continue the struggle, so that our wrath, our hatred, our contempt may be a lesson to them in humility. Deform your grit into a fierce grin that has nothing to do with the complicit smile of two anarchists meeting. Raise your shrill little voices in a satisfied chorus because you think you can kill a revolutionary and go unpunished. Sink your hands laden with the blood of the oppressed into the spoils of social wealth you have stolen from them. But keep your eyes tightly closed that I may not glimpse the rottenness of your soul. Keep your eyes well closed for you will see, shortly perhaps, our wrath mounting. Keep your eyes closed because you will be afraid of our struggle that will continue.
