Rome’s military tribunal convicted an Ex-Nazi

Rome’s military tribunal convicted 90 year-old Alfred Stork for the execution of 120 Italian officers on the Greek island of Kefalonia.

Justice never sleeps, it will be served to you at any age!

Alfred Stork, an ex-Nazi living in Germany, is the first convicted for this massacre.

Prosecutor Marco De Paolis said that, Alfred Stork was sentenced in absentia (this past Friday) to life in prison for his role in the executions of the officers, including division commander Gen. Antonio Gardin.

Between 3,000 and 4,000 Italian soldiers were killed in the week-long massacre in September 1943. Italian troops that had been occupying Greece with German allies found themselves in enemy territory when Italy signed an armistice with the Allies following the fall of Benito Mussolini.

It was the first conviction in Italy for the Kefalonia massacres. Previous attempts were closed due to the death of defendants or lack of evidence.
