18 Febbraio 2021
MILAN, FEB 18 - The former fire chief in the
northern Italian city of Biassono near Monza donned an SS
officer's uniform in a Fecbook post in October that earned him a
six-month suspended jail term and a 250,000 euro fine, a judge
recalled Thursday in explaining the man's conviction for apology
of fascism.
The former commander, Giorgio Piacentini, accompanied his
picture with captions including "all it would take is a company
of these to fix certain things" and "I'll ask the mayor to adopt
this uniform".
