#NoG20: Finally Fabio Has Been Released – Statement by Fabio
Fabio Vettorel (18) was released yesterday after he had been jailed for 4 months in the Billwerder prison in Hamburg, Germany. He was the last Italian in jail after the NoG20 protests in July. The young man from Feltre was arrested in the aftermath of the mobilizations and accused of “creating public nuisance”, the “attempt to inflict damage by dangerous means” and “resistance against a public officer.” Although he has been released the trial against Fabio is still ongoing, until now the state prosecution wasn’t able to proof any of their accusations, except that Fabio was seen on a protest. We publish a statement Fabio read to the court during a court hearing on November 7. The statement was originally published and translated by Infonaut.
