Piazza della Loggia massacre: no arrest for Marco Toffaloni

Marco Toffaloni will not go to prison. The man had been sentenced in 2025 at first instance to thirty years’ imprisonment as one of the perpetrators of the Piazza della Loggia massacre, which took place on 28 May 1974, and of neo-fascist organisation. The Brescia Court of Appeal has rejected the request by the Public Prosecutor’s Office to arrest him on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate a real and present risk of him absconding.

Toffaloni lives in Switzerland, where he married a Swiss woman and became a Swiss citizen. At the time of the attack, which caused eight deaths and over a hundred injuries, the man was only 16 years old. Toffaloni has appealed against his conviction to the Court of Cassation.
