"23 Arrests for Genoa: The Wave of Repression Rolls Onwards in Italy Updated
Searches and arrests have taken place throughout Italy in the last twelve hours related to the investigation of the confrontation and property damage that occurred there during the days of the G8 summit.
The arrests were requested by the prosecuting magistrates Anna Canepa e Andrea Canciani, approved and ordered by the judge Elena D'Aloisio and carried out by the political police, Digos.
Unlike those arrested on order of the judges in the south, all of whom were released yesterday after twenty days detention, those arrested today have been charged with specific offences, including criminal damage, looting, manufacture, possession and explosive material, arson, carrying of improper arms and resistance to public officials. Amongst those arrested is a young Genovese barman Massimiliano Monai who was beside Carlo Giuliani when he was killed.
Nine people are now in custody, the others are under either house arrest or have restrictions placed on their movements and have to report to police stations.
