First hearing tomorrow afternoon for the 9 Italians - Maurizio Di Marzio is always the only one unobtainable among the extraditable - who were stopped last week after the Elysée gave the green light to justice to examine Italy's extradition requests towards them.
The former terrorists, who fled to France in the 1980s, will appear before the Chambre de l 'Instruction of the Court of Appeal where they will be notified of the Italian extradition request, the trials, sentences and charges against them will be listed and will be communicated the calendar of hearings concerning them.
Friends, former militants and members of the support committee for "italiens" are expected outside the courthouse. In recent days, the supporters of the group have resumed their voice and found themselves in a garden in Paris around Marina Petrella, a former brigatista sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy. "It will be a very long procedure - said Petrella -, since 2019 we have been experiencing this state of tension, but I see that we also have supporters. I have nothing to hide". For Oreste Scalzone, former leader of Potere Operaio, a point of reference for the exiles of the years of lead, "there will be no need to resort to health reasons". As repeated by the lawyer of several of the extraditable, Irène Terrel, the requests are "inadmissible".
