Among those arrested was the anarchist Piro [ma Pino, or Giuseppe] Pinelli, who was interrogated by the police for four days. On 16 December Pinelli "fell" from the window of the Commissioner Luigi Calabresi’s office on the fourth floor of the Milan plice headquarters. The police stated that he had committed suicide rather than confess. No-one knows what really happened before Pinelli fell to his death.
