Alfredo Bonanno released Stratigopulos remains in jail

Comrades, the trial of Bonanno and Stratigopulosom in the city of Larissa ended with Alfredo Bonanno was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment for participation in the robbery, and Stratigopulos was convicted of armed robbery for 8 years for armed robbery and 3 months for a number of additional episodes. Without possibility of release on bail and a retrial in the case of presentation of new evidence.

From the outset it was clear that the judge and the prosecutor wants a quick trial without any ideological characteristics without departing from the scope of criminal prosecution.In short, they wanted to prove that Alfredo Bonanno was the leader, the moral inspiration for a robbery, and was a disciple of Christ, who carried out their plan.

Nevertheless, thanks to strong evidence of witnesses who testified in support of these two lawyers and a large contribution (Papadakis, Kourtovik, Sineli), these attempts have fallen apart.

State party hurt that Alfredo should be relieved that he, in fact, served his sentence - and they were looking for any legal or other trick to torment him further. Therefore, from the prison of Larissa, he was taken to the police department of the city under the pretext of permitting the Athenian authorities for deportation.

There they told us that, except for notice to Interpol, they will keep it as long as their political heads will "decide" whether to deport him in accordance with Article 106 of Presidential Decree 2007.Late at night, after a call to a local lawyer, told us that Alfredo was arrested again in accordance with the above article, as was recognized threat to public safety!

Once again he had to prove the obvious! 74-year-old man with very poor health was considered dangerous.So were recognized and we are waiting outside, a few friends sitting on the bench: they sent the cops to quell the riots, motorcycle police unit Zita, cops in civil and anti-terrorist unit to protect us because we were a threat to public safety!

Faced with this blatant political vindictiveness, psychological warfare against Alfredo, we had to decide whether to file a complaint with the court g.Larisa that would mean that Alfredo would remain in custody pending a decision, or until the Greek state will take a formal decision to deport him.Instant solution offered by his counsel meant for him to be released in the afternoon on Tuesday and go from Larissa to Italy through Athens in the coming days.

After all, that his comrades survived the day of their arrest until yesterday, and days remaining in Christ in prison, we would like to express huge "thank you" to all otheryam and comrades of Konitsa, who came to our aid, our friends from Giannena and all Greece, as well as from abroad, which stood on our side, giving us courage, and providing psychological, moral and financial support.

We extend a hand to comrades and unite our community bonds anarchist solidarity ...

Christos Family and Alfredo
