At the Locarno Conference, “Everybody was optimistic except the Germans, but they were described as ‘pessimistic for home consumption.’”
18 months after the murder of Italian Socialist Deputy Giacomo Matteotti , the state prosecutor completes his investigations and retains the cases against the 5 people directly involved in the assassination while dropping charges against everyone higher than them in the Fascist hierarchy who was part of the plot and who linked knowledge of that plot to Mussolini himself. The charges of “instigation” of the crime no longer apply because the prosecutor has decided that it was an “unpremeditated murder” that just kinda... happened... while they were kidnapping him. And that kidnapping, being a political crime, falls under the recent amnesty. One of the 5 was never captured, so the remaining 4 are expected to put all the blame on him.
