The neofascist Angelo Izzo confirmed yesterday in a court declaration in Rome in the 70s there was a group of Italian ultras prepared to act against ETA. His testimony was heard by the judge of the Spanish Audiencia Nacional Fernando Andreu, which takes months gathering evidence on the disappearance of Eduardo Moreno Bergaretxe, disturbance. And yesterday's story emerges as the strongest so far, and Izzo spoke directly to the kidnapping of a member of ETA who had moved to a house close to Barcelona, where he was tortured and made it disappear. Disturbance is the only one whose whereabouts are unknown since then (in 1980 José Miguel also disappear Etxeberria, Naparra).
In fact, Izzo already stated something similar in a summary in 1984, but the Spanish always remained a priority using the hypothesis that disturbance had been done away with ETA, even though there were no objective data in this regard.
The investigation now revived, Izzo was questioned yesterday by a warrant held in the Court of Appeal of Rome, in the presence of the judge and prosecutor Fernando Andreu Jesus Santos, lawyer of the addition to the Moreno family Bergaretxe. The novelty is that Izzo gave specific details about a farmhouse in which they could be kidnapped militant San Sebastian, it was found that several factors are consistent with those provided by another Italian questioned yesterday named Sergio Calore and defined as' police partner.
Thus, Izzo said the house was called "The Factory" and was on the outskirts of Barcelona. And then he said that although he was arrested, his companion Pier Luigi Concutelli told later that they had kidnapped a member of ETA and there had been tortured and made to disappear. Izzo told the judge that can not recognize Moreno Bergaretxe in the photos because they knew him and gave him Concutelli nor the name of the kidnapped. It also told him that captured an industrial Basque, in an action that would have been attributed to ETA.
Heat, meanwhile, confirmed the existence of 'The Factory' and Andreu told the judge that he visited the house. He said that "was full of photographs of ETA" and which was intended to perform actions, so that the victims were buried in a forest near.
Groups in Madrid and Barcelona
Angelo Izzo gave judges complete data on the operation of the anti-ETA composed of Italian neo-fascists. Explained that he had settled in a Madrid apartment, which had three and a pizzeria called `` The appuntamento'', and they belonged to ultras identified with names and surnames: Calzon Mario Augusto Canchi, Mario Pelegrini ...
The second group, explained, was the 'Barcelona', which also included French and Portuguese Fascists and had an apartment in Chinatown in the city and the house 'The Factory' in the suburbs.
Angelo Izzo also described the judge Andreu delivery at the time of a supply of arms and explosives by the Spanish secret police to Italian neo-fascists, including a submachine gun Ingrand mark. It is a weapon that would have intervened then Concutelli after an attack on an Italian judge.
As noted, the evidence gathered yesterday are spacious and offer details on new threads that pull, that after 33 years there has been any progress towards the clarification of the case. Andreu's next step will be trying to cross Concutelli in Venice, where he lives out on the street after an illness.
