Genoa G8 - final charges of 'criminal association' dropped

dan | 10.02.2004 23:59 | Genoa | Globalisation | London | World

On Tuesday 3rd Feb 2004, all 93 people arrested & beaten in the raid on the
Diaz school in Genoa 2001 were finally discharged from the accusation of
"criminal association".
The 73 police who are now accused have been refused permission to move their
trial away from Genoa.

On Tuesday 3rd Feb 2004, a Judge for Preliminary Investigations discharged
all 93 people arrested in the raid on the Diaz school in Genoa 2001
from the accusation of "criminal association". The other charges of
"resisting arrest" were dropped in May 2003. This means that all charges
against the 93 have been dropped, and opens the way for them to sue the
police.

In the mean time there have been criminal investigations against the police
themselves for slander, false arrest, assault and battery, and abuse of
authority. Now 73 police are facing trial, including some of the senior
officers involved in the Diaz raid. The police lawyers were asking for the
trial of the officers to be moved to another town, but on February 5th 2004
the Supreme Court ruled they should stand trial in Genoa.

On a final note, let us not forget the other demonstrators who are still facing
trial in Italy in March. They need our support!

Info Requested

If anyone has any info about those facing trial in March (numbers of people, charges, dates of trial etc...) can people post it here. It would make sense to organise something linking repression at all of these demos together, seeing as the Thessaloniki trails and the Genoa trials are likely to take place at similar times.

Those bastards looked so smug back on that night....all jolly, so pleased with themselves.

I'll definitely have a proper drink when these fascists stand trial. Join in!

I think we should wait until the cops have actually been found guilty before we go out on the town.
There is very little chance that any high ranking cops or officials will go on trial don't forget Italy is run by the mafia.
But it's not just Berlusconi and his Forza Mafia party, Genoa is governed by the Delinquenti di Sinistra and they get along just fine with organized crime, their capo di capi is massimo dilema and he is just as big a crook as berlusconi. Justice in Italy is very hard to find , social justice is not on the menu at all .
The best way to get on is by fucking other people over, scum always rises to the top :
Parmalat was a good scam but the Fiat crash will be three times bigger, telecom are also one to watch of course all the big shots will have pulled out and the ordinary punter will pay the bill one way or another, aren't the public nice they re so generous with their money . or should I say politicians are ..

Good luck in court

I'm glad that the ridiculous criminal charges against those people attacked by police in the Diaz raid have finally been dropped. Good luck with taking those bastard murdering police to court.

For the rest of us, if we want to kick the state in the teeth - and get even with butchers Bush and Blair, I think we've got to carry forward the spirit of Genoa (ie the 300,000 who marched on the Saturday after the bloodshed of Friday) and build a massive anti-capitalist anti-war movement. Getting as many people as possible to the London ESF in November will be a big part of this.
