At the end of a meeting in Bancali prison with his client, Alfredo Cospito, he greeted him by shaking his hand and giving him two kisses on the cheeks .
For this reason the anarchist's lawyer, Flavio Rossi Albertini, was reported to the Bar Association by the director of the Sassari penitentiary . The fact dates back to May 9th.
"Taking into account the criminal calibre of the subjects detained in the 41 bis section of this institute - we read in the communication sent on 5 June by the director - and the intrinsic meaning that such a greeting may have, we ask to evaluate whether the lawyer's behaviour is ethically correct , also in order to give the appropriate instructions to the Penitentiary Police personnel who with self-denial and professionalism ensure the surveillance of the prisoners subjected to the regime referred to in 'art. 41 bis'".
The lawyer's response was immediate: "I showed human empathy towards Alfredo Cospito by greeting him with a handshake and two kisses on the cheeks. I will always greet him with affection because I do not intend to be an accomplice to his dehumanization, to the policies of annihilation of the prisoner."
