September 26, 2020 The Supreme Court canceled with postponement the sentences of conviction against the mayor of Affile, Ercole Viri, and the councilors Giampiero Frosoni and Lorenzo Peperoni, for apology of fascism in relation to the construction of the celebratory mausoleum of the fascist hierarch Rodolfo Graziani.
The mayor and the two members of the junta had been sentenced by the Court of Appeal of Rome to eight months and six months of imprisonment respectively on March 14, 2019.
"With this sentence, a political case is closed, which we had been suffering for 8 years. Fortunately there is the Cassation, it does not let these things pass as it can happen in the courts of first and second instance. In the Cassation no one has ever been convicted of apologia for fascism ".
Thus the mayor of Affile, Ercole Viri, comments with the Adnkronos the annulment by the Supreme Court of the sentence of second degree condemnation against him and two councilors.
"We were very happy, we knew we had never committed any apology for fascism, we had only titled a museum after our greatest soldier sharpen - adds the mayor - We don't care about fascism. Graziani was already an established colonel in 1918. and did not make a career thanks to fascism on the contrary ".
