Last night senior police, prison officers and two doctors were convicted of mistreating protestors at Genoa's G8 Summit seven years ago, More4 News reports.

It is a case that has shocked Italy. Extreme violence on the streets of Genoa marked that year's G8 meeting.

The violence came in part from a fringe of the anti-globalisation protestors but largely it came from the Italian police.
