“THEY SOUGHT THE TRUTH”
This dossier is part of the project “Cercavano la verità” ("They
sought the truth") giornalistiuccisi.it, the portal that collects the
stories of thirty Italian journalists killed by mafias, terrorism and in
conflicts abroad. More than a simple archive, it is a tool at the
service of collective memory, so that life histories, publications and
the tormented path of justice are passed on in order to identify and
punish individuals responsible for the deaths of those who sacrificed
their lives to honour the right and duty to be informed.
Telling thirty individual stories one by one, “Cercavano la
verità” tells
really only one story: that of journalists united by a
boundless passion for the profession of journalism and a civic
commitment to the search for truth. “Many stories, one unique
story: They sought the truth” is also the slogan with which Ossigeno
has been
distributing “The Memorial Panel” since 2014, depicting
their faces and names. (Read here).
The project also intends to keep attention focussed upon the
importance of more actively protecting the safety of journalists and
protecting the right of information also on a judicial level to reduce
the almost absolute impunity of those who deliberately hinder this
right which is fundamental for democracy.

THIS DOSSIER IS PUBLISHED ON THE 2nd NOVEMBER 2020,
ON THIS YEAR’S INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END THE IMPUNITY
FOR
CRIMES AGAINST JOURNALISTS (IDEI)
Whoever wants to know why in 2019 Italian judges sentenced
Vitaly Markiv, an Italian citizen of Ukrainian origin, to 24 years in
prison, for complicity in the pre-meditated murder of the Italian
photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli, must read this dossier.
It contains a brief and schematic summary of the affair and a
presentation of the people involved, and it goes on to present
extensive and detailed reports of all the hearings of the criminal
trial held in 2018-2019 at the Court of Assizes in Pavia which
concluded with this verdict of great significance. This dossier also
contains the reports of the first four hearings of the appeal trial that
is taking place at the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan from the 29th
September 2020.
