The '''Spartacus Maxi-Trial''' (Italian: '''Processo Spartacus''') were a series of criminal trials that were specifically directed against the activities of the powerful [[Casalesi clan]] of the [[Camorra]] and its boss [[Francesco Schiavone]] aka ''"Sandokan"''. The trial was opened at the [[Corte d'Assise]] of [[Santa Maria Capua Vettere]] in [[Caserta]]. It was named after the historical gladiator, [[Spartacus]], who led a rebellion of slaves beginning in [[Vesuvius]] against the ancient [[Roman Empire]]. It was aptly named as such, in recognition of the need to fight a revolution in the Casalesi clan's territory. The trial was initially chaired by its president, Catello Marano on [[July 1]], [[1998]]. It continued until [[June 19]], [[2008]], when its final verdict was eventually read.<ref name=cu300905>{{it icon}} [http://www.cuntrastamu.org/mafia/contributi/naz04.htm Il maxiprocesso Spartacus e il silenzio della stampa], Cuntrastamu, September 30, 2005</ref><ref name=cor200608>{{it icon}} [http://corrieredelmezzogiorno.corriere.it/campania/cronache/articoli/2008/06_Giugno/19/spartacus_sentenza_casale.shtml «Processo Spartacus», 16 ergastoli ai Casalesi], Corriere del Mezzogiorno, June 20, 2008</ref>


The 10-year legal trial, charged 36 members of the clan with a string of murders and other crimes.

"The protester, seen bleeding here, was later brought to hospital by ambulance." It has been said the protestor's nose is bleeding, but it is not clear in any way from the photo. It looks in the photo like the protestor has a moustache and beard to me. I must say that there isn't clear evidence to support his bleeding and hospitalisation. If there was a higher res image then yes fair enough, from from what we have the claim is unverifiable.

Here you go. Looks like he also got a blow to his right eye, but I can't be sure. There's a picture of the same man being carted away by an ambulance crew on the [[Garda Síochána]] article.

The protester is bleeding from the nose, after being punched on it. Why is this information so offensive?

:How do you know he was punched? Who was he punched by? Is that why he's bleeding? You can't state facts without backing them up. Thanks! [[User:Falcon9x5|Fin]][[Special:Contributions/Falcon9x5|©]][[User talk:Falcon9x5|™]] 16:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

The Spartacus Maxi-Trial (Italian: Processo Spartacus) were a series of criminal trials that were specifically directed against the activities of the powerful Casalesi clan of the Camorra and its boss Francesco Schiavone aka "Sandokan". The trial was opened at the Corte d'Assise of Santa Maria Capua Vettere in Caserta. It was named after the historical gladiator, Spartacus, who led a rebellion of slaves beginning in Vesuvius against the ancient Roman Empire. It was aptly named as such, in recognition of the need to fight a revolution in the Casalesi clan's territory. The trial was initially chaired by its president, Catello Marano on July 1, 1998. It continued until June 19, 2008, when its final verdict was eventually read.[1][2]

The 10-year legal trial, charged 36 members of the clan with a string of murders and other crimes. All were found guilty and 16 sentenced to life imprisonment including prominent Casalesi bosses, Francesco Schiavone and his chief lieutenant, Francesco Bidognetti. The other two bosses Antonio Iovine and Michele Zagaria were also given life sentences. However, they haven't served these sentences as they are fugitives and are still absconding. They are currently on the list of thirty most dangerous fugitives in Italy, with international warrants for their arrest.[2][3] The other Casalesi clan members who received the same sentences were: Giuseppe Caterino, Cipriano D'Alessandro, Enrico Martinelli, Sebastiano Panaro, Giuseppe Russo, Walter Schiavone, Luigi Venosa, Vincenzo Zagaria, Alfredo Zara, Mario Caterino and Raffaele Diana.

More than 500 witnesses testified in the trial which saw the heaviest penalties ever for organised crime with a total of 700 years of imprisonment. Over the course of the initial trial and the appeal, five people involved in the case were murdered, including an interpreter. A judge and two journalists were threatened with death.[3]
