Erich Priebke is a former Nazi Officier of the SS and a mass murderer. He is 93 now, and held in house arrest since 1995 for having ordered the execution of 335 civilians in Rome during WWII, as revenge after a partisan group had killed 33 German soldiers. Ten to one it's the ratio fascists like.
Please read his story in wikipedia, it's istructive.
He's been spotted two days ago at a friend's house on the Maggiore Lake, in Cardana di Besozzo, a resort place near Varese.
Folks over there protested for his presence and his obvious being "on vacation" while serving his life sentence. Now he's been sent back to his house in Rome.

It's a shame that such a criminal can go on vacation while serving. Still, I would not have protested anyway. As a matter of fact, the judge changed his mind because of people protesting, which is a pathetic evidence of the state of justice in our country. The judge did allow him to go to visit his friend's house for the holiday because of some benefit, which he should not have in the first place. End of story.

But today is the 12 of August. On that same year 1944 when, on March the 23th Priebke ordered the mass execution in Fosse Ardeatine in Rome, in Sant'Anna di Stazzema the 12 of August another mass murder went on. Nazi SS soldiers killed 560 civilians and burned them. The massacre remained unknown until 1994 (!) because all the members of this community village died and apparently nobody was alive to tell the story.

What happened is that, after Priebke fucked himself up by chatting with an ABC journalist in Argentina about his past and the inquiry against him began, another magistrate, who was investigating on the case, Antonino Intelisano, looking for documentation on Priebke found a forgotten metal case with evidence of the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre.
Other guilty officers have been investigated since then and recently sentenced for that heinous crime.

So indirectly, Priebke fucked up also some of his former longevous nazi comrades by chatting with that american journalist.

This year in Rome it's hot, and damp. Hope he spends a bad August.
