37 years after the explosion of the bomb in the station and ten years after the last final sentence, a new trial was set for the massacre of 2 August 1980.

The gup, Alberto Ziroldi, has in fact sent the former Nar, Gilberto Cavallini, to trial, accused of contesting the massacre at the Bologna station. The first hearing of the trial is scheduled in the Assize court on March 21st. The request of the Public Prosecutor was therefore accepted and the exception was rejected on the basis of the "ne bis in idem" principle raised by Cavallini's lawyer, lawyer Mattia Finarelli, according to which the disputed conduct is the same as that which the former Nar already carried to a conviction for armed gang in the main trial on the massacre of 2 August.

After filing in 2013, the investigations concluded with the request for the trial of the Bologna prosecutor's office were reopened for Cavallini, who, among other things, complains to former Nar that he provided logistical support to Francesca Mambro, Valerio Fioravanti and Luigi Ciavardini then definitively condemned as material executors of the attack. The gup of Bologna, in the last hearing, had admitted 90 civil parties including 87 relatives of the victims, the Emilia Romagna Region, the Municipality of Bologna and the Presidency of the Council. Cavallini, not present in the courtroom, is currently detained in the Terni prison under semi-freedom.
