Police, doctors guilty of mistreating Genoa G8 protestors in 2001
Last night senior police, prison officers and two doctors were convicted of mistreating protestors at Genoa's G8 Summit seven years ago, More4 News reports.
It is a case that has shocked Italy. Extreme violence on the streets of Genoa marked that year's G8 meeting.
The violence came in part from a fringe of the anti-globalisation protestors but largely it came from the Italian police.
