Attack on Susanna Schlein claimed by the anarchists of «Carlo Giuliani revenge» – Corriere.it

A group of Greek anarchists has claimed responsibility for the arson attack against two cars of the First Counselor of the Italian Embassy in Athens Susanna Schlein. The group, called “Carlo Giuliani revenge nuclei”, said it acted in solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito in prison in Italy. The Greek anarchist group, which takes its name from the Italian activist killed by the police during the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001, said of Cospito: “Comrade, however much they try to bury you, we will never forget you.”

In Turin, a few days ago, the pg at the Court of Appeal asked for confirmation of life imprisonment for Alfredo Cospito, held responsible for attacks on carabinieri barracks and on hunger strike. His supporters in the courtroom shouted sentences against the employee of the Greek embassy: “Be careful how you park your car.”

«Carlo Giuliani revenge» is an acronym active in the Greek anarchist galaxy. From the outset, Italian investigators had formulated the hypothesis that the fire in Susanna Schlein’s car was attributable to this political camp. The targeted car was parked in the residence of the Italian diplomat and was destroyed by an incendiary device; a second bomb was found unexploded.

Alfredo Cospito was arrested in 2012 and convicted first of killing an Ansaldo executive in the legs and then of bombing the carabinieri barracks. He is serving a life sentence at 41 bis. Carlo Giuliani, to whom the group that attributed the Schlein attack refers, is the young demonstrator killed during the July 2001 protests against the G7 in Genoa.
