ANARCHIST SALVATORE VESPERTINO TRANSFERRED TO SPOLETO PRISON (ITALY)

Arrested in Spain on February 15th on an international arrest warrant, and extradited to Italy on March 4th, anarchist comrade Salvatore Vespertino, “Ghespe”, was first brought to Rome’s Rebibbia prison, and then transferred to Spoleto prison on March 20th.

We remind that Ghespe faces an eight-year sentence for manufacturing, possessing and carrying an explosive device, causing grievous bodily harm, and causing damage, related to the 2017 “Panico” repressive operation in Florence on charges of making the homemade explosive device found in front of the entrance of “Il Bargello” bookstore in Florence, home of CasaPound fascists.

In the early days of his detention in Spain, Ghespe was subjected to pressure and harassment by guards. At Rebibbia, the correspondence wasn’t delivered to him; visits and phone calls were not allowed until shortly before his transfer to the prison of Spoleto.

If guards and servants of the state think they can use such tricks to break our closeness, they are sorely mistaken.

NO PRISON WILL STOP OUR SOLIDARITY
FREEDOM FOR GHESPE
FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE

Mauro Busa tells us that since November his mail has been under censorship again up until 22^nd May, subject to extension. He is continuing to do hunger strikes (he also writes about self-harming, for example cuts, but it is not clear whether this refers to the present or the past) in order to be transferred near Lucca so that he can see his family whom he hasn’t seen since 2018.

For anyone who wants to send him money, he says prison rules have changed and it is no longer possible to send money orders but only bank transfers:

DN Note: Letter from Mauro in 2020 explaining his case and reasoning for attacking the targets he claims.

Mauro was sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment for fire, evasion and manufacture of explosive material, threats and with the aggravating circumstance of recidivism and social danger. The original attacks took place in the vicinity of the Casapound headquarters and to the Eni distributor in Sant’Anna in 2018. The Eni distributor, the multinational is for some time in the sights of anarchists for activities abroad, and a building near the Casapound headquarters. Previously, Mauro Rossetti Busa had succeeded in Florence, in March 2004, in an attack on a public prosecutor. During the hearing his convictions were unwavering: “I’ll send you a packet-bomb, the next one will be for you and these cops,” he said.
