The trial of a gang of Fasciats who made a practice of robbing Jews during the Mussolini period today ended in Florence.
At the conclusion of the trial, which lasted for 20 days, the prosecutor asked that the gang members be convicted but released under the general amnesty law which applies to all former Fascists. The court’s decision has not yet been handed down. The gang was led by Giovanni Martelloni.
