Genoa riot evidence 'disappears' (BBC)

Genoa riot evidence 'disappears'

Key evidence in the trial of 29 Italian police officers charged over violence
during the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa has vanished, police say.

Two Molotov cocktails allegedly planted by police in a school used as a base
by anti-globalisation protesters can no longer be found.

The bombs are seen as crucial physical evidence against many of the defendants
in the high-profile trial.

The police are accused of brutality and perjury over a raid on the Diaz school.

Prosecutors now fear that the case could collapse, allowing many of the high-
ranking defendants to walk free.

1. it's ITALY - their legal system has had holes larger than the

space shuttle in it for years, especially when dealing with public corruption or the Mafia. (come to think of it, they are related)
