A week after the disappearance of the moltov cocktails cocktails planted by police in the Diaz school to justify a raid during the G8 summit in Genoa in July 2001, which involved the beating of 93 activists who were sleeping in the school, on 25 January 2007 judge Gabriele Barone, hearing the case in Genoa, dismissed requests by lawyers defending policemen to exclude elements of charge involving the missing evidence from proceedings as "unfounded". The prosecuting magistrates' efforts to find the missing evidence was met by a reply from the Genoa questura (police headquarters) stating that they may have been "destroyed by mistake". ANSA, 24-25.1.2007.

In-depth information on the Diaz trial, including transcripts of the hearings, are available at: http://www.supportolegale.org/ Previous story: G8-Genoa policemen's trial suspended as planted molotov cocktails disappear (link)
