They have already prepared their story about his death, which is starting to unravel as more evidence comes to light.

Final sentences for police forces involved in Diaz school butchery at 2001 G8 su

08-07-2012 21:06

After a 9-hour debate, the Italian Supreme Court has issued its final sentence against the 25 defendants – policemen and heads of security forces – responsible for the violence against the activists sleeping in the Diaz school during the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001. Result: most of the charges have been declared time-barred, leading to impunity for all the people involved. In the meantime, 10 activists are facing a total of 100 years of jail between themselves for crimes of “devastation and looting”.
