A group of far-left anarchist extremists in Greece have taken credit for the firebombing of vehicles outside of the home of an Italian diplomat in Athens that took place earlier this month.
The group took aim at Cospito being held in prison according to the 41 bis provision, which allows for the Italian interior minister to suspend prison regulations for criminals convicted of mafia-style crimes or terrorism, banning privileges such as telephone use, associating with other prisoners, or even receiving outside parcels.
“41 bis is a regime of political, social and sensory annihilation, aimed at the complete elimination of all contact with the outside world. The goal is none other than the physical and moral annihilation of those who choose the path of revolutionary self-righteousness against the tyranny of state and capital,” the anarchist group alleged.
The group justified the attack on the Italian diplomat by saying that “the acts of revolutionary antiviolence that target them, returning a piece of the fear they sow against society, letting them know that they are not invulnerable and that their decisions come at a cost, are at the same time the targeting of the policies and plans of the system.
