Forty-two years after the attack that killed 85 people, a new sentence arrives on the massacre committed on 2 August 1980 at the Bologna railway station.

Paolo Bellini, 68, a former exponent of the neo-fascist group Avanguardia Nazionale, was sentenced to life imprisonment with one year of isolation from the Court of Assizes of the Emilian capital.

For the accusation he is the fifth bomber, accomplice of the defendants ultimately convicted, namely Giusva Fioravanti, Francesca Mambro and Luigi Ciavardini, and Gilberto Cavallini (the latter convicted only in the first degree).

Bellini was charged after the Attorney General called the investigation into the principals. These are believed to be the head of P2 Licio Gelli, Umberto Ortolani, Federico Umberto D'Amato and Mario Tedeschi, all deceased and, therefore, not prosecutable.
