- ROME, SEP 18 - Prosecutors in Milan have asked for charges to be dropped against right-to-die campaigner and activist Marco Cappato in relation to the assistance he provided to two Italians in committing assisted suicide in Switzerland last year.

The treasurer of the association Luca Coscioni and candidate in the Monza by-election for the Senate seat left vacant by the late Silvio Berlusconi had reported himself to police in Milan. In July 2022 he accompanied terminally ill Elena Altamira, 69, to the Dignitas clinic in Zurich and then in November he accompanied 82-year-old Romano, a former journalist and copywriter who was confined to bed by a severe form of Parkinson's.

Although assisted suicide is still formally illegal in Italy a Constitutional Court ruling has provided the basis for some regions to allow lethal drugs to be taken by some patients wishing to end their lives. .
