(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 28 - A young woman from Sicily who won an
online 'Miss Hitler' contest on a Russian social network in 2019
is among 12 Italians facing a possible trial for allegedly
posting anti-Semitic propaganda denying the existence of the
Holocaust and calling the Nazi gas chambers "the biggest lie in
history", sources said Friday.
The 29-year-old woman, Francesca Rizzi, is part of a network
active across Italy calling itself The Roman Aryan Order.
Prosecutors have wound up their probe against the 12, normally a
premise for indictment requests, and posit charges of criminal
conspiracy to spread propaganda and instigating ethnic and
religious discrimination.
Six of the 12 , who are aged 26 to 62, live in Lazio, including
four in Rome and its surrounding province, one in Latina and one
in Frosinone, while three live in Sardinia, another one in
Calabria, one in Abruzzo and one in Lombardy.
Their posts included "the Jewish menace will only be eliminated
when all the world's Jews will cease to exist" as well as
invective against migrants like "sinking all the NGO ships in
the Mediterranean and knocking down all the churches, synagogues
and mosques would be the solution to some of our problems".
