However, public prosecutor Gerardo D'Ambrosio later officially determined that his fall was due to his fainting and losing balance.[2]

In 1972 Luigi Calabresi was assassinated, reportedly by left-wing militants of Lotta Continua who held Calabresi responsible for Pinelli's death. Adriano Sofri and Giorgio Pietrostefani, former leaders of Lotta Continua, were convicted of plotting Calabresi's assassination, while members Ovidio Bompressi and Leonardo Marino were sentenced for carrying it out.[3]

On 3 March 1972 Franco Freda, Giovanni Ventura and Rauti were arrested and charged with planning the terrorist attacks of 25 April 1969 at the Trade Fair and Railway Station in Milan, and the August 8 and August 9, 1969 bombings of several trains, followed by the Piazza Fontana bombing.
