Alfredo Bonanno, Possibly Arrested in Greece
He is an editor of Anarchismo Editions and many other publications, only some of which have been translated into English. He has been involved in the anarchist movement for over thirty years. Bonanno was one of hundreds of Italian anarchists arrested on the night of June 19, 1997, when Italian security forces carried out raids on anarchist centres and private homes all over Italy. The raids followed the bombing of Palazzo Marino in Milan, Italy on April 25, 1997. On February 2, 2003 Bonanno was sentenced to 6 years in prison plus a €2000 fine (first degree 3 years, 6 months) for armed robbery and other crimes. These charges were related to the "Marini Trial", in which Italian anarchists were convicted of belonging to an eversive armed group whose ideological leader was Bonanno. |

"These charges were related to the "Marini Trial", in which Italian anarchists were convicted of belonging to an eversive armed group whose ideological leader was Bonanno." Of course they were, apart from the obvious exceptions.

i want to preface this by saying that "ageism" is a stupid word only said by liberals who call themselves anarchists.... you know who you are...
with that said, it seems highly unlikely that a 72 year old man was involved in a hold up, lets wait for some more information on this one
...How about a 69-year-old
...How about a 69-year-old man being involved in a hold up? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/09/elderly-bank-robber-in-san-diego-says-mortgage-drove-him-to-crime.html
I can recall other instances of armed robbers who were well into their 70s and 80s as well.
I'm not trying to be all "politically correct" but prefacing an ageist assumption by saying that "only liberals say ageist" doesn't magically make your remark non-ageist. The guy may well have been involved in a hold up (and if he was, good for him!).
Maybe it's because Bonanno
Maybe it's because Bonanno is such a gangsta, as the kids say. The OG of insurrectional anarchy.
But, yeah I was just thinking this morning "isn't Bonanno like 70 or around there."

2 άτομα συνελήφθησαν για ληστεία στα Τρίκαλα
από @ 10:53μμ, Πέμπτη 1 Οκτωβρίου 2009
(Τροποποιήθηκε 11:33μμ, Πέμπτη 1 Οκτωβρίου 2009)
από καθεστωτικό μέσο
Εξιχνιάστηκε η ληστεία που έγινε το πρωί στο κέντρο των Τρικάλων. Δράστες της ληστείας είναι ένας 46χρονος ημεδαπός και ένας 70χρονος, υπήκοος Ιταλίας.
Η ληστεία έγινε στις 10.35 το πρωί. Ο 46χρονος, που ήταν μεταμφιεσμένος με περούκα και μουστάκι και φορούσε γυαλιά μυωπίας και τζόκεϊ, εισέβαλε στο υποκατάστημα και με την απειλή οπλισμένου πιστολιού, άρπαξε το χρηματικό ποσό των 46.900 ευρώ από τα ταμεία.
Αφού βγήκε από την τράπεζα, ο δράστης παρέδωσε τα χρήματα και το πιστόλι στον 70χρονο συνεργό του και στη συνέχεια επιβιβάστηκε μόνος του σε ενοικιαζόμενο Ι.Χ. αυτοκίνητο και προσπάθησε να διαφύγει.
Όμως, ο 46χρονος συνελήφθη είκοσι λεπτά αργότερα από αστυνομικούς που είχαν στήσει μπλόκο, στο 6ο χλμ. της οδού Τρικάλων - Καλαμπάκας.
Οι συλληφθέντες οδηγήθηκαν στον εισαγγελέα με τη σε βάρος τους σχηματισθείσα δικογραφία.

An off-hand translation of the above post:
2 people were arrested for a robbery in Trikala city.
The holdup that occurred this morning in the center of Trikala city was solved. The culprits of the robbery are a 46 years old greek and a 70 years old of italian nationality.
The robbery occurred at 10.35am this morning. The 46yo, camouflaged with a wig and a mustache and wearing myopia glasses and a jockey hat, came in the branch bank and under the threat of an armed gun, he took the sum of 46.900 euros from the registers.
After he came out of the bank he gave the money and the gun to his 70yo accomplice and then he left alone with a rented car.
The 46 yo was however arrested 20 minutes later from police officers who had set a road block on the 6th km of Trikala-Kalampaka highway.
The arrested were lead to the district attorney and accused.

Haha, god bless his heart, that old man is still rockin it! How many here think that it was just a coincidence that he was in Greece of all places? Sounds to me like the old man is following in Bakunins footstep and going to places where there has been recent uprisings to inflame the flames of insurrection! You just got to respect that.
