WAR TIMES

On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

We make known:

Starting at around 5am on June 16, 2026, the Rome prosecutor’s office launched yet another repressive operation involving numerous anarchist comrades in various parts of the country. The alleged crime is conspiracy for terrorist purposes (Article 270 bis). The conspiracy is said to be related to sabotage carried out during the devastation of the Milan and Cortina areas, also known as the Winter Olympics.

Seven people have been arrested in Italy over suspected sabotage attacks on high-speed railway lines during the Winter Olympics earlier this year.

Italian police said on Tuesday that the suspects, believed to belong to an anarchist militant network, were detained on suspicion of terrorism-related offences.
