Overview

• Days ago in Cagliari prison, Bellini was attacked by another inmate wielding a toothbrush sharpened like a blade, suffering only a minor arm wound that was treated in the infirmary.
• The assailant, a Moroccan inmate unknown to Bellini, has refused to disclose his motive when questioned by prison authorities.
• Lawyer Antonio Capitella filed a motion to transfer Bellini out of Cagliari to a prison designated for former collaborators, arguing that general-population conditions pose a serious security risk.
• The transfer request is awaiting Bellini’s signed authorization and references Italian regulations that allow convicted collaborators to be housed in specialized institutes like Campobasso.
• Bellini’s definitive life sentence for his role in the 1980 Bologna station massacre was upheld by the Supreme Court on July 1, and his lawyer warns that upcoming media attention around the 45th anniversary could endanger his client further.
