France willing to transfer documents on the Ustica massacre to the Rome Prosecutor's Office

According to what we learn, the French embassy has sent a note to the Farnesina in recent days announcing the availability of the transfer to Italy of all documentation relating to the Ustica massacre. These are also documents from the Transalpine Ministry of Defense which could refer to past rogatory letters from the Rome Prosecutor's Office.

Furthermore, the French authorities say they are willing to comply with further requests from Italy regarding the case. The material covers a long period stretching back to the 1990s. The Farnesina, through the Presidency of the Council, sent the file to the Ministry of Justice which, in turn, sent it to the Rome Prosecutor's Office. In light of this turning point, the prosecutors at the hearing on September 30th before the investigating judge would be ready to withdraw the request to dismiss the proceedings on the massacre which caused the death of 81 people in 1980.

Bonfietti: 'The government has moved and we can see the results'

"We had asked for it not to be filed and this is coming, it will be suspended. It is a great result. I have always said that if the judiciary can't do it, only politics can do it. The moment the government takes action we see results. Now we will try to understand what documentation arrives." Daria Bonfietti, president of the association of families of the victims of Ustica, says this in relation to France's willingness to collaborate. "We learn with great satisfaction that the request we made to the prime minister to address Macron in mid-June had a great result", says the president.
