Three years after Genoa G8, the only big court case going on is the one seeing 25 activists accused of devastation and looting of Genoa. On june 26th 2004, the judge will decide if a new court case is to be started: this trial will see 29 police head officiers accused of the Diaz school raid on the night of july 21st, 2001. The full accusation is false testimony, false declarations and abuse of their offices, meaning that they faked evidences and declarations to make the raid happen, while they had no evidence proving the need to such a big and violent operation without any official warrant. The Diaz school raid resulted in the destruction and seizing of a lot of material from both media and legal group whose offices where set in the Pascoli school, and in the brutal beating and arrest of 93 people, whose accusation proved to be completely false after a few months. In these three years of enquiries tens of lies, fake evidences and framings of activists emerged, even if this truth did not prevent most of the policemen involved to continue a brilliant career.
Nonetheless now the court case is about to start. And the legal team launched a call-out to ask people to sue the state for that saturday night events. Three years have passed from those days.
