Severe penalties as decided by the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona, who sentenced to terms ranging from 3 years and 4 months to 3 years and 8 months, the three members of an anarchist group – two Italians and a Swiss – the attempt to attack a Nanotechnology Research Center of IBM in Rüschlikon (ZH), in April 2010.
Penalties are heavier than those requested by the prosecutor, which was a maximum of 3 years and 6 months.

On Friday, July 22, Swiss anarchists Costa Ragusa, Billy Bernasconi, and Silvia Guerini were sentenced at the Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona on charges of “conspiracy to commit arson” and “illegal trafficking of explosives” stemming from a thwarted attack on an IBM nanotechnology lab in Rüschlikon.
The charge of “illegal transport of explosives” fell apart since there was no solid evidence to corroborate any smuggling from Italy. Nevertheless, our comrades were sentenced to longer prison terms than those requested by the prosecutor.
Ragusa, 34 and a founder of the Italian anarchist group Il Silvestre, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison. He was accused of masterminding the lab attack.
Bernasconi, 26 and a resident of Italy, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison, plus 22 days from a prior sentence.
Guerini, 29, was sentenced to three years and four months in prison.
Each of the three sentences will be reduced by one year and three months, which is the amount of time our comrades have spent in pretrial detention.
