Marco Camenisch Biography

Marco Camenisch is one of the most popular and richest Anarchist who was born on January 21, 1952 in Campocologno, Switzerland. Camenisch was born in Campocologno (Switzerland) on January 21, 1952. He was raised in a middle class home in Graubunden. Camenisch dropped out of highschool because he felt that the school’s teachings were too elitist. He opposed chemical fertilizers during his apprenticeship as a Farmer at the Plantahof [de] School. Marco began his career as a mountaineer, but soon realized that he could not achieve his political goals unless he was more direct in his activism.

He was accused by the Swiss federal police and media of killing Kurt Moser, a Swiss border officer. Witness to the crime claimed that Camenisch was the one who killed him and that Blick had printed his photograph. Later, the witness retracted his claim that he only heard the shots. Camenisch supporters sparked doubt about his guilt and made him a “martyr to the State”, thereby making him a doubtful witness. Camenisch hid for two more years.

On November 5 1991, Camenisch was stopped by Carabinieri on Cinquale di Montignoso road, along with fellow anarchist Giancarlo Sergianpietri. Camenisch produced a handgun and opened fire, wounding one of the soldiers. In the ensuing shootout, he was wounded in one leg and arrested. Two guns and six rudimentary bombs were found at his place. He was taken to Pisa hospital, where he remained for 6 months, and later at San Vittore prison infirmary in Milano. The Italian Court of Massa Carrara sentenced him to 12 years for assault and sabotage of electrical pylons. He served 9 of those years while in solitary confinement in a maximum-security prison.

In April 2002, Camenisch was extradited to Switzerland and transferred to a prison in Pfäffikon near Zürich. In January 2003, after a hunger strike against the conditions of imprisonment he was suffering, he was transferred to a prison in Chur with better conditions. Recently the Swiss government transferred him back to Pfäffikon. In July 2004 he was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the murder of Kurt Moser.

He escaped Regensdorf prison near Zurich in December 1981 with five other prisoners. One prison guard was killed and another seriously injured in the melee. Camenisch claimed that he wasn’t part of the group responsible for the shootings. Camenisch spent 10 years hiding after the escape.
