Shocking: The OBS is accused of conspiring with Italy to erase the report on the Coronavirus

Italy was the first European state to be hit hard by pandemic.

The report, produced by OBS scientist Francisco Zambon and his 10 colleagues from all over Europe, was funded by the Kuwait government with the objective of providing information for countries that had not yet been hit.

Call an unprecedented challenge: Italy's first response to Covid-19, the document was first published on the OBS site on May 13th before the next day, as was originally reported by the Guardian in August, Periscope follows.

The 102-page report says Italy's plan for pandemic had not been updated since 2006, and because of this initial response to hospitals was <x0 improvised, chaotic and creative”.

It took long for formal instruction to become accessible, the report adds.

The document is suspected of being removed at the request of Ranjier Guerras, assistant director general of the WTO for strategic initiatives.

Guerra was director general for preventative health at the Italian health ministry between 2014 and the end of 2017.

The OBS author, Zambon, was summoned three times to talk to prosecutors about this report but was barred from doing that from the WTO, which has insisted that he and the other 10 researchers should have immunity from testimony.

Zambon claims that Guerra was threatened with dismissal if he did not modify parts of the text. /Periscope
