The general of G8 will lead the parachutists in Iraq
On April 17th, the judge will make a decision on the request for archiving
the procedure against Mario Placanica, due to self-defense. Mario
Palcanica is the carabiniere ('carabinieri' is an Italian branch of the
military) that was accused of killing Carlo Giuliani, and the request for
archiving the case was deposited by the public minister Silvio Franz on
December 2nd, 2002, and already postponed on February 18th. Closing the
legal procedure would not only shut down the investigation about the
death of Carlo Giuliani, but also would clean up all the responsibilities
of those who were in charge for security in Piazza Alimonda and
those who organised and brought on the situation from above.
Moreover, the
closure of the trial about Piazza Alimonda would most probably become a
precedent for all the other procedures currently open about Genoa.
Meanwhile, 3000 soldiers will be working in Iraq together with the troups
of occupation : the carabinieri of the second mobile brigade will be there
as well (400 including the parachutists of the Tuscania - a battallion of
Italian army), lead by general Leso. General Leso is the Balcan commander
who was decorated by Bush and who was leading the special troups of the
carabinieri during the G8 in Genoa. Leso is also a candidate for leading
the international police in Iraq, responding of his decisions only to the
American governor Jay Garner. The other option is giving him the lead of
the Italian contingent. Was he so good in Genoa, that they decided to send
him to Iraq?
