Rome prosecutors probe online Jewish 'blacklist' (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, December 17 - 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.
