This was reported a long time ago by “In These Times”, I’m glad that the case is finally making it to the courts.
“Italian police have been accused of fabricating evidence against anti-globalisation protesters at last year’s G8 summit in Genoa by planting petrol bombs at their headquarters and falsely accusing them of stabbing a police officer.
According to a magistrates’ investigation, the police improvised lies to justify a bloodsoaked raid at the Diaz school, which was being used by protesters as a headquarters. The raid, which left dozens injured after being kicked, punched and beaten with batons, prompted an international outcry.”
