(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 13 - A group of pro-Palestinian protesters on Wednesday broke into the Turin offices of Italian aerospace and defence giant Leonardo to denounce its alleged "complicity with the ongoing genocide in Gaza perpetrated by the illegitimate State of Israel against the Palestinian people," the activists said.
    Some 30 protesters, who waved Palestinian flags and a banner saying 'Intifada Everywhere' after breaking down the gates of the establishment, were identified by police.
    Defence Minister Guido Crosetto, a former defence industry senior executive, called them "dangerous subversives".
    The statement form the group said further: "Despite the industrial group declaring that it works mainly in the defense sector, Leonardo has continued to support the Israeli army for over a year through shipments that include remote technical assistance, material repairs and the supply of spare parts for the Israeli Air Force's training aircraft.
    "In addition to this, the company has supplied systems for armored bulldozers (Caterpillar Do), which have been systematically used for years to destroy Palestinian homes".
