The Rome Military Prosecutor's Office, led by Marco De Paolis, has initiated "preliminary investigations" into a complaint filed by the Military Union against General Roberto Vanacci, president of Futuro Nazionale, national coordinator Massimiliano Simoni, and program director Lorenzo Gasperini , alleging the reconstitution of the fascist party in violation of the Scelba law.
The Prosecutor's Office's activity "relates to the position of members of the Armed Forces," the prosecutor explains in a statement, "within the 'Futuro Nazionale' organizational structure." The prosecutors' objective is to verify "the possible existence of facts within their strict jurisdiction relating to persons subject to military jurisdiction."
For his part, Vannacci clarified: «It is necessary to clarify that the Military Prosecutor's Office of Rome has not started any investigation against General Roberto Vannacci for the alleged reconstitution of the fascist party, nor has it indicated such a hypothesis
which is the object of the investigations ordered".
The former general also responded to the Financial Times, which called him "the Russian Trojan horse" that "puts Meloni to the test. " "Oh my God," Vannacci replied, "big headlines about the possible and potential Russian influence on the Italian elections, but, coincidentally, no one is concerned about the current, and already present, influence on the Italian elections by the Financial Times and by countless other publications manipulated by international finance and the powers that be."
According to the British newspaper, which cites analysts from the Institute of International Affairs (IAI) and the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), Roberto Vannacci's Kremlin-aligned stance, including his call to restart trade with Russia, risks complicating Giorgia Meloni's re-election bid by appealing to deep-seated currents of pacifism, economic discontent, and affinity for Moscow in Italy.
