Diaz school in Genoa 2001 were finally discharged from the accusation of

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!

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 ..

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.
