Alfredo Cospito will stay at 41bis. Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio rejected the demand for the abolition of the heavy prison sentence presented by Flavio Rossi Albertini, the detainee’s defender, who has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days. Via Arenula ministry announced this. The 41bis regime was established on May 4 last year by former minister Marta Cartabia for four years. The Ministry of Justice reads the note that “the request for the abolition of the special detention regime under Article 41bis of the prison system submitted by the prisoner’s lawyer Alfredo Cospito, in a detailed sentence, been rejected”. The defense has already announced that it will appeal Nordio’s decision.
The views expressed by the judicial authorities, the National Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, the Attorney General’s Office and the Torino DDA are in agreement, given the grounds for the annulment of 41 bis submitted by Alfredo’s defender. Cospito’s reliance is on the basis of Justice Minister Carlo Nordio’s decision to reject the request. According to what has been learned, this is the determining factor in the minister’s decision, who does not believe that there are conditions for the annulment of the heavy sentence.
Another aspect that is being considered is what judicial authorities continue to consider the existence of a communication hazard that incites the prisoner from Cospito to the anarchist galaxy from inside the prison to commit other acts of violence. The front of the necessity to protect and monitor the health status of Cospito, who continues his hunger strike, has not changed.
Andrea Ostellari, Undersecretary of State for Justice, was the first to comment on the news. I share and support the decision of the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, rejecting the request for the early cancellation of the prison regime stipulated in Article – as Ostellari reported. 41 en for Alfredo Cospito. There is currently no reason to justify different intentions, until different indications come from health personnel and the judiciary. The issue is known and documented to be dangerous, and the State does not succumb to blackmail or intimidation by perpetrators.”

This morning, his lawyer, Flavio Rossi Albertini, gave information about his health after meeting at the Opera prison. “It’s always the same,” said the lawyer, losing weight gradually, now 70 kilos and not taking supplements.
