Italy Renews 41-bis Prison Regime for Anarchist Alfredo Cospito

The move keeps the strict 41-bis controls in place pending a planned challenge in Rome.

Overview

  • The Justice Ministry renewed his 41-bis status and notified his lawyer, Flavio Rossi Albertini.
  • The defense says it will file a reclamo with the Rome court that oversees prison measures to contest the renewal.
  • 41-bis is a special prison regime that sharply limits visits, mail, and contact to stop messages reaching allies outside.
  • Cospito is serving 23 years for a 2006 bomb attack in Fossano and 9 years and 5 months for shooting energy executive Roberto Adinolfi.
  • He staged a long hunger strike in 2023 over his confinement, and Europe’s human rights court rejected his case in September 2025.
