Greek anarchists linked to an Italian
group protesting the tough jail regime inflicted on one of their
leaders have claimed responsibility for the firebombing of two
cars belonging to an Italian diplomat in Athens a week ago.
The Greek group, which calls itself after a protester killed by
a Carabiniere at the 2001 Genoa G8 riots, said they were acting
in solidarity with Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI) leader
Alfredo Cospito, serving a total of 30 years in jail for two
attacks and the only Italian anarchist currently subjected to
the harsh 41 bis prison regime usually reserved only for
mafiosi.
The group, Carlo Giuliani Vendetta Nucleus, said it was
supporting the hunger strike of Cospito, who is serving 20 years
for a bomb attack on a Carabinieri training academy at Fossano
near Cuneo in Piedmont in 2006 and a further 10 years for
wounding Ansaldo Nucleare Managing Director Roberto Adinolfi in
Genoa in 2012.
the carbomb attacks against Athens embassy counsellor Susanna
Schlein, sister of centre-left Democratic Party (PD) leadership
candidate Elly Schelin, took place at dawn on Friday December 2
and were soon attributed to anarchists like the FAI, who had
shouted threatening slogans during Cospito's recent trial.
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Schlein survived the
attacks "by a miracle".
Both Schlein sisters have now been assigned police protection.
After the firebombings, FAI militants issued the mocking message
"Susanna Schlein should learn to park".
