Two far-right local
politicians were acquitted of apology for Fascism after making
Fascist salutes at a commemoration of fallen soldiers of the
WWII Nazi puppet northern Italian Fascist state Italian Social
Republic (RSI) at Sanremo cemetery in April 2015.
Former far-right Forza Nuova councillor at Diano Castello,
Manuela Leotta, and Eugenio Ortiz of Sanremo, made the formally
illegal 'Roman' salutes and shouted "present and able" at the
ceremony on April 26 that year.
Imperia judge Sonia Anerdi cleared them saying "the case does
not constitute a crime".
The sentence was based on rulings from the supreme Court of
Cassation, source said.
Prosecutors had requested a three year prison term and a fine
of 300 euros.
