Police arrested a suspect in the July 18 desecration of dozens of Jewish tombs in Rome’s main cemetery. The suspect was identified as Claudio Romani, 46, who worked as an unauthorized groundskeeper in the cemetery. “The apparent anti-Semitic nature” of the crime has been “proven wrong by the investigation,” a spokesman for Italy’s anti-terror police said Tuesday.
