Political-Military Communist Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Partito Comunista Politico-Militare (PCPM; "Political-Military Communist Party") is an Italian terrorist organization which came to light in 2007, and is linked to the New Red Brigades. 15 members of the PCPM were arrested in a February 2007 raid, including far-left extremist Alfredo Davanzo, who had previously been sentenced to 10 years in prison.[1] In 2012, the second criminal section of Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation definitively dismissed the terrorism charges and confirmed the sentences with reduced sentences inflicted in the appeal processes.[2]
