You can read the official press release by Radio Blackout about the fact.

• 7/13/97 - Important! A letter has been sent anonymously to Radio Blackout, a free radio in Turin. It contains an "informative note for internal use only" written by the ROS - Raggruppamenti Operativi Speciali (Special Squads) of the Carabinieri (Italian military police), summarizing the last twenty years of investigations against the Italian anarchist movement. Please note that the general investigative methods used by the Carabinieri are being questioned right now by Italian newspapers, after the discovery of illegal activities ordered and carried out by major police officers (including drug traffic and false proofs given by police informers). The report on Italian anarchism anonymously sent to Radio Blackout, "for internal use only", confirms that unlawful practices have been used also to collect evidences against the anarchists. You can read the entire informative note, or a briefer official statement with a few excerpts written by Radio Blackout.
