De Italiaanse politie beschuldigd van geweldsmisdrijven tegen demonstranten en activisten tijdens de G8 top in Genoa in 2001 moeten vervolgd worden. Dit heeft een rechter in Italie bepaald. het process zal op 6 juni 2005 beginnen. 28 politieagenten worden verantwoordelijk gehouden voor zware geweldsdelicten tijdens de inval in een school waar tijdens de G8 top activisten bijeenkwamen, aten en sliepen. Ook was in de school delen van het Indymedia Collectief actief.
Italian police accused of violence during a raid against protesters at the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 must stand trial, a judge has ruled. The trial should start on 6 April 2005. Twent-eight Italian police officers have been charged with lying, slander and the intent to seriously injure Anticapitalists at a school in Genoa which which they were using as a base during the 2001 G8 in Genoa, Italy.

The summit was marred by violence. One protester was killed and hundreds of police and demonstrators were injured. Protesters based at the Diaz school alleged that they had been attacked and beaten in their sleep during the raid. Police chiefs claimed they had acted on a tip-off that activists planning violent protests were hiding in the school.
Almost 100 people were arrested in the raid on the school and taken to a barracks, where it has been alleged that they were beaten and abused by police. On Monday, Judge Daniela Faraggi confirmed that 28 police face trial in connection with the raid, which was a key flashpoint during a violent weekend.
One officer under investigation will not face charges. The trial will start on 6 April next year, the judge said. Around 100,000 anti-globalisation activists converged on Genoa in 2001 to protest at the time of the G8 summit of leading industrialised nations. Reports on the clashes between police and protesters focused attention on the behaviour of Italy's carabinieri police force as local media published pictures showing blood smeared on the walls of the Diaz school in the wake of the raid. The head of Italy's anti-terrorism unit, the country's second highest-ranking police officer, and the Genoa police chief were all disciplined amid inquiries into police behaviour during the protests.

Now, the reckoning
"In the summer of 2001, Italian police launched a brutal raid on protesters at the G8 summit in Genoa after they had returned to their sleeping quarters. Among 62 injured were various Britons, some of whom have still not recovered. Finally, more than 60 officers are being called to account in court. Rachel Shabi and John Hooper report"
