(ANSA) Pescara, April 10 - Indictment was requested Friday
for a far-right politician on charges of rigging up hangman's
nooses in a square when former integration minister Cecile
Kyenge visited this Adriatic resort city.
Trial was requested for Marco Forconi, the regional
coordinator for the neo-Fascist Forza Nuova (FN) grouping, on
charges of "exhibiting racists symbols and aggravated threats
for the purposes of racism".
Prosecutors say Forconi rigged up two hangman's nooses on
street furniture in front of the headquarters of the provincial
government of Pescara July 15, 2013, when Kyenge visited the
building.
Prosecutor Giuseppe Belleli said the nooses were "typical of
hanging and of the racist organisation known as the Ku Klux
Klan".
