The Nazi and the protection racket

Article Abstract:

The trial of former Nazi Erich Priebke in Rome, Italy, on charges of crimes against humanity initially appeared to be a straightforward matter. However, it has now lasted longer than expected and new and conflicting evidence is coming to light. Some witnesses claim that Odessa, a secret network which smuggled many Nazis out of Europe into exile in the 1940s and 1950s, is still operating and that former Nazis are benefiting from high-level international protection. Further controversy has arisen following the death of Karl Hass, a key prosecution witness, during an escape attempt.

Backlash threatens to silence informers

Article Abstract:

There has been growing concern in Italy about the use of capture Mafia members as police informers following indications that much of the information provided by Mafia killer Giovanni Brusca was false or unverifiable. A new law which is shortly to go before parliament may make dramatic changes to the system of collaboration, which has played a key role in bringing legal action against the Mafia. The law recognises that too many informers and their families are being protected, but also obliges those who wish to collaborate to reveal all their information within a very short time.

Mutual mistrust mire refugees in the misery of homelessness

Article Abstract:

Serbs who fled from Krajina when it was recaptured by Croatian forces in summer 1995 are now unwilling to return there, despite assurances from the Croatian government that it is safe for them to do so. They cannot forget the atrocities of the war, and feel that they would be unable to life alongside Croats. However, the prospects are bleak for them in Serbia too, where the economy is in ruins and there are no jobs.
