Rome Prosecutors on Thursday
opened an investigation into a list of prominent Jewish
individuals published on the pro-Palestine Radio Islam website.
The long list of names, mentioning prominent people in the
media, acting and business worlds, includes journalists such as
Enrico Mentana and crusading anti-Mafia reporter Roberto Saviano
as well as executives such as Fiat Chrysler Chairman John
Elkann.
One of the subtitles of the website list reads "the Jewish
monopoly in the mass media in Italy" and the page also includes
links to documents alleging Jewish influence in the country.
Police are now making checks and the web page may be
blacked out, ANSA sources familiar with the investigation said.
Charges could include threats and defamation aggravated by
racial hatred, the sources said.
