Four anarchists and
anti-capitalists were convicted on appeal Friday over violent
protests against Milan Expo on its opening day on May 1 2015.
The four got sentences ranging from eight months to two
years, four months, cut from their first-instance sentences
because the court found that the charge of "devastation" no
longer applied.
Prosecutors had requested terms of five years for all four.
The four were convicted of acts of violence and resisting
arrest but not causing criminal damage to property.
In an hours-long rampage, the protesters torched cars and
clashed with police.
