 Solution

The tail sigma-algebra isFix $S\in \mathcal{T}$. independence of the variables and the pi-systems criterion imply independence of $\sigma (X_1,\dots ,X_n)$ from $\sigma (X_{n+1},X_{n+2},\dots )$. Hence $S$ is independent of every finite-head sigma-algebra ${\mathcal{H}}_n=\sigma (X_1,\dots ,X_n)$.

The increasing union ${\bigcup }_n{\mathcal{H}}_n$ is an algebra, hence a pi-system, and generates ${\mathcal{H}}_{\infty }=\sigma (X_1,X_2,\dots )$. Another pi-lambda argument extends the equality $\mathbb{P}(S\cap A)=\mathbb{P}(S)\mathbb{P}(A)$ from that union to all of ${\mathcal{H}}_{\infty }$. Since $S$ itself belongs to ${\mathcal{H}}_{\infty }$, take $A=S$:ThereforeThis is Kolmogorov zero-one law; no moment assumptions on the variables are needed.
