Italians prosecuted by fascism, deem
it to be our sacred duty to react to
the utmost of our powers on the
atrocities committed by the brutal
monster of fascism.
"The inquiry into the Milan as
sassination brought us to the con-
clusion that the participants were
themselves fascists, and that the
Canton of Tessin is one of the most
important fulcrums for the whole
of the work of fascist provocatory
organization. Our investigation of
the blacklist depths of the police
centre of Pavia, headed by Com
mendatore Nudi, one of the leading
personages of the ministry of in
terror affairs at Rome, and respon-
sible author of all the atrocities com
mitted in the course of the second
half of 1927 and the first half of
1928, placed sufficient proof in our
hands to show that Lugano is a
stronghold of the fascist criminals
cooperating in fascist provocation.
One of Commentators Nudi's i'm
mediate collaborators has been Com
mendatore Pacenza, who occupied the
post Of vice CONSUL and secretary
in the Italian consulate at Lugano.
After having officially laid down
this post at Lugano to take up work
in the service of the secret police in
Italy again, this Pacenza visited
Lugano from time to time, in order
to instruct his subordinates, and
sometimes travelled to Paris. 1t was
Commentators Pacenza who tried
personally to force confessions, and
to buy dispositions to the effect
that Italian fugitives in Switzerland
had taken part in the Milan assas-
sination. 1t was Pacenza who caused
the Swiss citizen Hofmeier to be ar
rested and beaten in Como, and at
tempted to press from him con-
fession on a fantastic plot supposed
to have been formed against the
security of the Fascist state.
