A Milan judge on Monday ordered
prosecutors to open investigations to identify 86 social media
accounts in relation to antisemitic insults defaming Italian
Holocaust survivor and Life senator Liliana Segre.
The decision comes after the 94-year-old Auschwitz survivor was
subjected to a new wave of online insults after she took part in
a Liberation Day event in Pesaro on Friday.
Some of the insults said Segre was "the biggest Nazi" of all.
The judge also told prosecutors to put nine people who were not
previously probed under investigation and obliged them to charge
seven other people.
Prosecutors had requested that 17 cases be shelved.
The case against Italian celebrity chef Gabriele Rubini, who is
known professionally as Chef Rubio, was dropped.
Rubio had slammed Segre for "a deafening silence over the plight
of Palestine".
