A Rome judge on Monday handed down
the first six guilty verdicts in the assault on the headquarters
of Italy's biggest and most leftwing union CGIL in Rome in
October last year.
The attack was led by members of the far-right group Forza Nuova
(New Force, FN), who hijacked a protest against the COVID-19
Green Pass health certificate to ransack the union offices.
A preliminary hearings judge gave out sentences ranging from six
years to four and a half years.
The son of the girlfriend of FN's Rome chief Giuliano
Castellino, Fabio Corradetti, and the group's Palermo leader
Massimiliano Ursino, both got six years.
Castellino is also a defendant in the case, as is FN national
leader Roberto Fiore.
