Two more people were convicted
Tuesday in a raid on the headquarters of Italy's biggest and
most leftwing trade union CGIL after an anti Green Pass COVID
health certificate protest in Rome in October 2021 was hijacked
by members of the far right Forza Nuova (FN) group.
In the raid, the FN-led mob ransacked the CGIL offices.
The Court of Rome handed down two more sentences and a plea
bargain in connection with the assault on the CGIL headquarters
on 9 October 2021 on the sidelines of the demonstration called
to protest against the green pass.
The preliminary hearings judge (GUP), at the end of an
abbreviated trial, imposed seven years and two months on Claudio
Toia, linked to the Juventus ultras and considered close to
Forza Nuova, and five and a half years on Mirko Passerini, not
an FN affiliate.
A plea bargain of four and a half years was accepted for
Emiliano Esperto, also not an FN affiliate.
The crimes proven were devastation and looting in a conspiracy.
FN national leader Roberto Fiore and its Rome chief Giuliano
Castellino are on full trial and prosecutors have requested long
sentences for them.
