An Italian judge on Tuesday
ordered a blackout of the pro-Palestine Radio Islam website that
had published a "blacklist" of prominent Italian Jews.
The site, which included a long list of names of people in
the media, acting, and business worlds, is no longer accessible
following police intervention.
Rome's preliminary investigations judge accepted a request
from the prosecutor's office for it to issue an ordinance
forcing the blackout.
The list had included 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 its subtitles read "the Jewish monopoly in the mass
media in Italy" and the page also included links to documents
alleging Jewish influence in the country.
Charges against the currently unknown perpetrators could
include threats and defamation aggravated by racial hatred, ANSA
sources familiar with the investigation have said.
