Genoa, Italy: Ex Latteria Occupata under seizure
On the night of December 2, the carabinieri, under the usual order of PM Giuseppe Longo, seized the Ex Latteria Occupata and reported three comrades.
Ex Latteria, like others, is a place that has always opposed the exploitative and repressive logic of the state at war. A place of gathering, frequented by many girls and boys.
After the arrests on May 4th, the prosecutor still wants to tell the tale of defending decorum, that is, the normalized, racist, and alienating everyday life at the expense of every individual’s freedom.
This latest attempt to stifle anger and dissent will not work, you will find us in the streets.

Italy: Demonstration following the arrests of 3 May (Genoa, 31 May 2024)
On Friday 3 May eight people were arrested in front of Ex Latteria Occupata with the accusations of aggravated resistance and injuries and for one of the people also outraged and refusal to provide general information. Those who were there that evening is well aware how power works. He knows how absurd the reactions of the cops, complaints and requests of the public prosecutor are. Currently all the defendants have precautionary measures: seven of them have daily signatures and one signatures, the obligation to stay and the night return. A few days ago the news arrived that the prosecutor again requires prison for everything. Evidently we try to give a legal justification to a disproportionate reaction of the cops to a moment of normal anger, which can be shared by anyone every day the militarization and gentrification of this city lives, increasingly invaded by puppets in uniform. Since we do not recognize courts nor divided our answer is always the same: to go to the street and to pour our anger against those who try to suffocate every dissent and all existence that does not conform to a showcase thrown to the mass tourism & sold off by the businessmen who have recently risen.
On May 31, see you in Piazza della Commenda at 18:00 in solidarity with the arrested.

Repression: Eight anarchists arrested of Ex Latteria Occupata in Genoa
On the night between Friday and Saturday 8 people were violently arrested by the carabinieri in front of Ex Latteria Occupata (the former dairy occupation) of Stradone Sant’Agostino in Genoa with accusations that include resistance to public officials, aggravated injuries and damage. The eight arrested were transferred to two different barracks in the area, to Marassi and Pontedecimo. About twenty demonstrators gathered as a sign of solidarity towards the arrested in front of the barracks, dissolving only in the early hours of the morning.
In a press release the anarchists of the Ex Latteria Occupata write “We go down to the street alongside Ema, Anais, Edo, Paolo, Michele, Jack, Lea and Davide. Against the militarization of the cities made of both baton and taser and more totalizing forms, cameras and artificial intelligence. The same technologies they design in universities build in Leonardo, devouring resources and which we see employed on all war fronts “.

Operation Scripta Scelera: outcome of the court of cassation hearing on precautionary measures (Italy)
On February 21st, a hearing was held at the court of cassation in Rome resulting from the appeal of the public prosecutor Manotti of the DDAA (‘District Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate’) of Genoa against the order of the court of review of the same city about the precautionary measures. On August 28th, the measures had been cancelled with reference to the associative crime (art. 270 bis of the penal code) and confirmed, keeping them unchanged, for the other charges. The public prosecutor, in essence, requested that the measures be confirmed also for the associative crime, contrary to what was established by the court of review. This request, if granted, would have potentially led to the imprisonment of the eight comrades for whom the judge for preliminary investigations had established the pre-trial detention and restrictions also in relation to art. 270 bis. The cassation declared the prosecutor’s appeal inadmissible.
We remind that, in the meantime, the public prosecutor has requested and obtained a trial with immediate judgement against Gaia, Gino, Luigi and Paolo for articles 414, 270 bis 1 and 278 of the penal code. The next trial date is scheduled for Friday, March 8th, at 3 p.m. at the Massa court (in Piazza De Gasperi), with a new hearing against the four comrades currently under restrictive house arrest.

Operazione Scripta Scelera: esito dell’udienza in cassazione sulle misure cautelari
Il 21 febbraio si è tenuta in corte di cassazione l’udienza sulle misure cautelari scaturita dal ricorso del PM Manotti della DDAA di Genova avverso l’ordinanza del tribunale del riesame del capoluogo ligure. Il 28 agosto le misure erano state annullate in riferimento al reato associativo (art 270 bis c. p.) e confermate, mantenendole inalterate, per le altre accuse. Il PM, in buona sostanza, ha chiesto che le misure venissero confermate anche per il reato associativo, contrariamente a quanto stabilito dal riesame. Questa richiesta, se accolta, avrebbe potenzialmente condotto in carcere gli otto compagni per i quali il GIP aveva stabilito la custodia cautelare e le restrizioni pure in relazione all’art. 270 bis c. p. La cassazione ha dichiarato inammissibile il ricorso del PM.
Ricordiamo che, nel frattempo, il PM ha chiesto e ottenuto un processo con giudizio immediato nei confronti di Gaia, Gino, Luigi e Paolo per gli artt. 414, 270 bis 1 e 278 c. p. La prossima scadenza processuale è prevista per venerdì 8 marzo, alle ore 15:00 al tribunale di Massa (in piazza De Gasperi), con una nuova udienza nei confronti della compagna e dei compagni attualmente agli arresti domiciliari restrittivi.

Luigi Palli: Contribution to the Internationalist Days in Prague May 20-26, 2024
Contribution to the Internationalist Days in Prague May 20-26, 2024
First of all, I want to congratulate and salute the comrades from Třídní Válka, for their commitment and perseverance. In these last two sad years of war they have been active, including and especially in contacting revolutionary groups abroad, something that – in my opinion – few in our latitudes have done.
That said, I must point out, alas, a couple of issues. I have been invited (as has the entire editorial staff of “Bezmotivny”) to the week of international action against the war, to be held in Prague between May 20 and 26, 2024. As editor of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny,” it is fair to say that I will not be able to attend. Or at least, between now and May is a long time, but I don’t think the provisions the Italian state has imposed on us will change.
In fact, on August 8, 2023, we were all subjected to precautionary measures on charges of subversive association for the purpose of terrorism, incitement to commit a crime with the aggravating factor of the purpose of terrorism, insulting the honor or prestige of the president of the republic, and clandestine printing, for having, over a period of three years, published incessantly every fortnight the newspaper “Bezmotivny.”
The operation conducted by the District Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate of the city of Genoa involved ten anarchists for whom arrest in prison had been requested. Some still have an obligation to stay (with overnight return) in their city, others have hopped between jail and house arrest with all the restrictions (prohibition to communicate with anyone, under penalty of jail). Currently there are four of us on house arrest, five on mandatory residence, and one at large. The whole repressive operation revolves around “our” newspaper, they do not accuse us of specific facts except precisely the editing, printing and distribution of “Bezmotivny.”
It seems important to me to say all this, because the repression operating in Italy (not only the one we were involved in, but during 2023 it affected many anarchists all over Italy) is fully part of the policies of war moved by this rotten country.
I don’t want to complain about this at all, I think it is normal and deeply consistent on the part of a state to arrest any revolutionary voice, so in truth I’m fine with the way it works, rather than the fringe pretense of democratic spaces I prefer the real struggle. Rather than dissenting games good only for political stands, I prefer confrontation. Continue reading “Luigi Palli: Contribution to the Internationalist Days in Prague May 20-26, 2024”
Genoa, Italy: Appeal verdict of the trial against Gianluca (February 14, 2024)
Appeal verdict of the trial against Gianluca (Genoa, Italy, February 14, 2024)
On February 14th, the hearing of the appeal trial in the so-called ‘Diamante’ case was held at the Genoa court. The judges confirmed Gianluca’s conviction for ‘illegal possession of explosives’ (art. 1 and 2 of law 895/67) and ‘attempted crime’ (art. 56 of penal code), reducing the sentence to 3 years and 2 months (plus euro 3,000). In first instance, the comrade had been sentenced to 4 years and 6 months (plus euro 15,000), while the other comrade defendant in the trial was acquitted.

Solidarity presence at the appeal trial for Operation Diamante and presentation of the special issue of “Bezmotivny”
Genoa, Wednesday, February 14, 2024
Solidarity presence: 8:30 a.m., in front of the Genoa Court, Portoria Square.
On Feb. 14, the appeal hearing of the trial involving defendant anarchist comrade Gianluca, arrested in March 2022 and still under house arrest with all restrictions, will be held.
The first-instance trial had ended on July 5, 2023 with an acquittal for the comrade indicted in the same case and a sentence for Gianluca to four years and six months in prison (plus 15,000 euros fine) for “illegal possession of explosives” (Articles 1 and 2 of Law 895/67) and “attempted crime” (Article 56 c. p.).
Solidarity with the imprisoned and indicted comrades!
Debate: 5:30 p.m., at the documentation space ” Il Grimaldello,” Via della Maddalena 81/R.
Operation Scripta Manent (2016) and the subsequent trial (2017-’22) also involved 13 convictions for the publication of the latest edition of ” Croce Nera Anarchica ” and the management of some websites. Similarly, a number of subsequent operations involved revolutionary publications: operation Sibila (2021), aimed particularly against “Vetriolo,” and the more recent Scripta Scelera (2023), aimed at “dismantling” the fortnightly “Bezmotivny.” Beginning with the publication of the special issue of “Bezmotivny,” we discuss the reasons for these proceedings: the war policies of the Italian state, the warning it intends to give to the revolutionary movement, and the need for the state to strike at the theoretical-practical combination of anarchism.
To follow: aperitif benefit prisoners.

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