Cascina Spiotta trial, six years in Lauro Azzolini, prescribed for Curcio and Moretti

The article discusses the conclusion of a long-running trial related to the 1975 Cascina Spiotta massacre, which resulted in the death of Carabinieri officer Giovanni D'Alfonso during a raid against the Brigate Rosse. The Court of Assize in Alessandria sentenced former Brigatista Lauro Azzolini to six years in prison, while Renato Curcio and Mario Moretti were declared innocent due to statute of limitations. The case has been a controversial chapter in Italy's history of armed struggle. Legal representatives argue the verdict undermines the prosecution’s narrative, suggesting that the charges against Curcio and Moretti lacked merit. The case was reopened by the prosecutor in Alessandria, leading to renewed legal proceedings against these former militants.
