None of the four active-duty Italian military personnel under investigation in the Rome espionage case will be formally charged within 60 days — the case will still be described as an active investigation, not a completed prosecution.

What would overturn it

A formal charge, arrest, or military-justice indictment of any of the four would overturn this; continued 'under investigation' status without a charge would confirm it.

Open  Resolves by 6 Sep 26 — graded at the weekly Reckoning against the criteria above, and recorded here.

As logged at issue

Italy's spy case will likely stay an active investigation for the four serving military personnel implicated rather than produce a charge within 60 days — Italian military prosecutions tend to move slower than the civilian case that's already yielded two arrests; a formal charge against any of the four would be the signal this call was wrong.
