The Genoa Public Attorney filed today a request for prosecution against two youths charged with libeling a Jewish theater director, Aldo Trionfo, and with trying to reconstruct the Fascist party in Italy.
The two youths, whose names were withheld, were known to have been active in anti-Semitic programs in Genoa early in 1960. They were accused of directing viciously anti-Semitic insinuations against the director.
One of the two youths was known to be the Italian correspondent of the extreme right international organization, “Jeune Europe.” Both are among the promoters of “Ordine Nuovo” (New Order), a neo-Nazi group.
