This merely confirms what we all already long suspected. Sort of like how, for decades, the CIA piously denied any role in the 1973 coup in Chile, before finally admitting the obvious.
The only question is whether anyone will do anything about it? In the case of Chile, nobody did anything.
I recommend the book "NATO's Secret Armies" by Daniele Ganser, mentioned in this article, a fascinating story about Operation Gladio and the stay-behind armies in Europe after WWII.
You missing to tell that Cossiga became President of Italy later on, and he knew very well of Gladio and its purpose and US involvement. He then talked in interviews about it.
I remind you that Repubblica is a mainstream paper, tens of years in the hand and property of Italian Financial lobby. Now Repubblica as most of the italian papers are in the hand of Fiat Group, so...
Also Cossiga, when he was Interior Minister, so it had all Police Corps in his hands was using them as they use Police now in the turning nazi EU: to beat any protestors that discuss or dissent with the System and arrest them.
At that time Cossiga was written by extreme left groups, not terrorist as Red Brigade or Prima Linea, on the walls and in the papers as KOSSIGA with the double SS as German SS. He was deserving that. Under his direction Police killed quite a few pacific protestors shooting straight at them. He was in the Christian party because the Fascist party was banned.
I was a young university student and if there was someone that knew better than others about NATO and US terrorist bombings in Italy between 1973 to 1980 Bologna train Station was Kossiga!
He's not a victim he's one of the butchers.
Finally, Italy has a long history of people that when get old come up with stories to accuse some and excuse someone else. Do not trust them unless they have/show proofs.
In italian there is a famous word for them: "depistaggio" translating as misleading it doesn't give the real weight of that word.
Holy shot Cassimir, thank you for sharing this. The piece does read like a limited engagement, lacking clear accountability and more importantly, a clear emphasis of which way the orders go and what AMERICAN names they come from. I hate the oretense that european secret services are "partners". They are employees, it is a top down organization. European secret services just take orders and execute according to what theyvare told, like any regional office with 0 power.
In this excerpt from a 90's documentary on the Gladio in Turkey, former SocDem prime minister Bulent Ecevit explains how he discovered the existence of this network in the early 70s - stating that up until then it was financed directly by the US & that it was behind numerous unresolved assassinations.
There are countless books, some of which include first-hand confessions of involved parties, regarding the activities of this bloody organization, (also known as Special Warfare Department and/or counter-guerilla in Turkey). At least for older generations & mine, their involvement in extrajudicial killings, unsolved assassinations of leading leftwing academics & unionists, attacks & bombings of mass political gatherings (such as the infamous 1977 May 1st massacre), as well as several military coups was a well known fact. Despite the nefarious role they played that led to the current situation of the country, I doubt anyone born after 1985 has even heard of them.
The Moro kidnapping was done by a crack team of expirenced commandos with inside information as to his route in traffic. No rag-tag group of leftist intellectuals could have pulled it off with such precision. Losing no one and leaving no evidence and then secreting his personal presence. No, this was a U.S. inspired and manned inside job. He was never going to be released, no negotiations would have mattered.
Daniele Ganser, a Swiss peace researcher and historian, wrote his doctoral thesis about "Gladio".
Also he published this work in book form, it's translated to English under the name "NATO's Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe".
And yet all Europe _still_ marches to the "tune" of the U.S. As a good friend remarked to me some twenty years ago, the U.S. lacks men of courage. The revolution is coming and it ain't gonna be pretty.

The same evil logic of destroying any working alternative to liberal capitalism prevails.

Oh, should have checked comments first, now I basically wrote your comment - just 2 days later.
Thanks for sharing this intriguing, and very sad, bit of history.
Don't be sad. Be angry, and act accordingly!
And do what? I am angry.
Olof Palme’s assassination has all the hallmarks as well.

This event was dramatised into a film for TV 2022 ‘Exterior Night’.
And the song remains the same.
