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.
