A new repressive operation under Article 270bis

From Act for Freedom Now! - Italy

Original title: "A new repressive operation under Article 270bis. The Bencivenga Occupation in Rome has been evicted, and arrests and searches have taken place in several cities"

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.

As far as we know, five comrades are being held in prison and two have been put under house arrest with electronic bracelets. However, following the searches, two more comrades were arrested on charges of autoaddestramento [self-training] (Article 270 quinquies), although no precautionary measures had initially been foreseen for them.

Following this operation, the occupied Bencivenga was evicted.
We are currently listing the addresses that are known of the comrades in prison.

Nico Aurigemma

Stefano Marri
Regina Coeli, Via della Lungara 29, 00165, Rome

These addresses are provisional and may change in the coming days. One of the two comrades arrested following the search is reportedly still at the police station awaiting a fast-track trial. Updates will follow.
All our solidarity goes out to them. With rage and love, for anarchy.
