Roberto Vannacci investigated for incitement to racial hatred for some excerpts from his book "The world upside down". The procedure was started after some complaints presented in recent weeks by associations.
The passages in which the Army general defines homosexuals as "non-normal" or when he cites an episode experienced in Paris in which he refers to people of color are under scrutiny.
«The only incitement made is to reflection and reading. No incitement to hatred", says the lawyer Giorgio Carta, lawyer of General Roberto Vannacci . «Galileo Galilei - he added - was also tried for his ideas but 300 years later he was 'acquitted'. We hope, based on personal data, to resolve this matter sooner."
