AI-generated summary
The Italian judiciary has been waiting for answers from France since 1990 regarding the letters rogatory regarding the fall of the DC-9.
The note from France
France's willingness to provide a series of military documents relating to the hours of the massacre represents a sudden turning point in the case, after decades of attempts to reach a judicial truth about the massacre. Today the prosecutors of Piazzale Clodio will deposit the documents containing documents from 1981 to 1994, also referring to old letters rogatory sent from Rome. According to some transalpine diplomatic sources, "France has provided the elements at its disposal every time it has been asked about this tragedy" and "in particular in the framework of the investigations conducted by the Italian justice system and the requests for information sent to France", saying itself "obviously available to continue our full cooperation with Italy on this dossier".
Paris ready to collaborate
The French authorities also said they were willing to comply with further requests from Italy regarding the case. The Italian judiciary has been waiting for news from France since 1990 after numerous letters rogatory sent to Paris which remained unanswered. Among the various documents requested, also the radar recordings of the area of fall of the DC-9, the positions of the aircraft carriers Clemenceau and Foch, the flight plans of the French fighters headed for Libya and the mysterious "friendly" trace called "LL004", detected by the radar of Poggio Ballone, in the province of Grosseto, near the Corsican base of the Armée de l'air in Solenzara. In 1996, France was asked to identify other aircraft at the origin of three radar signatures, the role of which was never clarified.

The deputy prime minister then reiterated that "we want to know the truth, the government does not stop, we always want to be on the side of our fellow citizens".
