Rome’s Military Court of Appeal sentenced on Friday to life in prison three former Nazi officers, accused of participating in the massacre of hundreds of civilians in 1944 in the villages from the Apennine mountains in northeastern Italy.
The Italian officers, aged over 90, were tried in absentia.
Initially, nine former soldiers, most of them aged over 90, had part of trial in absentia and were convicted to life imprisonment in July 2011 for the gruesome massacres in Monchio, Susano and Costrignano. Three of them died in the meantime and the court acquitted three others on Friday.
