Ustica massacre: the investigating judge of Rome revokes the dismissal and returns the documents

The investigating judge of Rome, accepting the request of the Prosecutor's Office, returned the documents relating to the investigation into the Ustica massacre, revoking the request for dismissal.

The Embassy of France "would like to point out that the French authorities are not aware of any pending requests for mutual legal assistance (on the Ustica case, ed.) and that they would be very grateful to the Italian authorities to clarify if, for their part, they should identify any pending requests", reports the order of the investigating judge of Rome who, accepting the request of the prosecutor's office, returned the documents relating to the investigation into the massacre, revoking the request for dismissal.

In particular, we read in the order, "the French Embassy specifies that two documents were transmitted in 1986 and 1990 from the French Ministry of Defense to the Italian one and expressly excludes any previous resistance in providing legal assistance".
