11 years after the police raid at the Armando Diaz High School, a shelter for activists and demonstrants during the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa where over 80 people were injured, Italy’s Court of Cassation found 25 officers guilty of the offenses to the civilians, many of which were sleeping in the school when the raid began. The Statute of Limitations however decrees that most of the crimes are status-barred. Top-rank officers will however be suspended from service for 5 years, making the sentence historical for Italian justice.
