“Finally we are again in our natural position of dominance over the Jews”: senior north Italy policeman accused of posting antisemitic comment on Facebook
A senior policeman in Italy’s northern province of Monza and Brianza allegedly posted a message on Facebook saying: “Finally we are again in our natural position of dominance over the Jews.”
The alleged comment by Massimo Vergani, Deputy Police Commander of Seregno, was a reference to the victory of Inter-Milan over AC Milan in a 19th April football match. He attempted to excuse and justify his comments by claiming that he was “only using the language of Ultras groups.”
Mr Vergani has reportedly previously described a tie between Inter-Milan and Fiorentina the previous month as a “gift to the Jews.”
