Alfred Stork, Ex-Nazi War Criminal, Convicted In Absentia By Italian Court
MILAN -- MILAN (AP) — Rome's military tribunal on Friday convicted a 90-year-old ex-Nazi in absentia for his role in the 1943 execution of 120 Italian officers on the Greek island of Kefalonia and sentenced him to life in prison.
Alfred Stork's conviction was the first in Italy for the Kefalonia massacres in which thousands of Italian soldiers were killed in September 1943. Previous attempts at prosecution were closed because the defendants had died or those responsible could not be properly identified, said military prosecutor Marco De Paolis. Stork, who now lives in Germany, was tried as a member of an execution squad that killed the 120 Italian officers, including division commander Gen. Antonio Gardin, on Sept 23, 1943, De Paolis said.
Between 3,000 and 4,000 Italian soldiers were killed in the weeklong massacre in September 1943. Italian troops occupying Greece with their German allies suddenly found themselves in enemy territory when Italy signed an armistice with the Allies following the fall of fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
"There were numerous massacres in those five or seven days, all over the island. Some were killed fighting, others were shot down, some were arrested and killed after being held for a day," De Paolis said.
Two German officers were convicted at the Nuremberg trials of the Kefalonia massacres, along with other war crimes, and sentenced from 12 to 20 years. Other prosecution attempts in Germany and Italy in the 1950s and 1960s failed.
De Paolis said he launched this investigation in 2009 at the request of two victims' children, identifying Stork after receiving files from another failed attempt at prosecuting 80 suspects in the early 2000s.
De Paolis said he felt it was "useless' to petition for Stork's extradition for trial since Germany has refused in the past to turn over its citizens even when convicted of Nazi-era crimes.
Efraim Zuroff, the head Nazi-hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, noted that Italian military courts have in recent years convicted many Germans for wartime massacres but always in absentia due to Germany's refusal to extradite its citizens. Italy as a result has requested in previous cases for those convicted and sentenced to life to serve their time in Germany.
"The Italians have made a very admirable effort in the past decade to find and bring to court, not in a literal sense, individuals responsible for some terrible atrocities," he said in a phone call from Jerusalem. "It's unfortunate that only one of them has been convicted in Germany."

90-year-old former Nazi soldier handed life sentence for role in Greek massacre
The massacre took place on Cephalonia – the setting for the bestselling novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin
A 90-year-old former Nazi soldier has been handed a life sentence for his role in a wartime massacre on the Greek island of Cephalonia, the setting for the bestselling novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Alfred Stork, a German ex-corporal, was sentenced in absentia by a military court in Rome which found him guilty of taking part in the execution of at least 117 Italian officers who had surrendered to the Nazis.
The massacre on 24 September 1943 was just one bit of a far bigger and bloodier German massacre of Italian troops, whom they regarded as traitors for having switched sides after Italy signed an armistice with the Allies.
Around 5,000 Italian soldiers from the Acqui division on Cephalonia were rounded up and killed by the Nazis after surrendering following a bloodthirsty, week-long battle.
The atrocity Рone of the worst examples of Nazi brutality Рwas described in Louis de Berni̬res's novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, which was subsequently turned into a film starring Penelope Cruz and Nicolas Cage.
The hero, Captain Antonio Corelli, is a gregarious officer in the Acqui division. He narrowly escapes being killed in the massacre.
Stork's defence had argued that he should be cleared of the charges due to a lack of proof and the fact that, in any case, as a corporal he would have had to have followed orders.
But the military prosecutor said witness testimony had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Stork had taken part in the incident.
In 2005 the ageing German allegedly admitted he had formed part of an execution squad that killed some of the officers, but the evidence was not admissible in the Italian court.
The prosecutor Marco de Paulis told the court Stork "did not have the courage" to stick to his admission, instead "staying comfortably" in his house in Germany.

Fuel price rises are sparking a new wave of direct action
The greed of the Big Six and concern for the environment mean that alternatives to corporate control are increasingly attractive
It came as no surprise that British Gas, the latest of the Big Six energy companies to hike its prices, found itself the recipient of a furious backlash this week. There's plenty to be angry about: one in four households now regularly choose between heating and eating; 7,200 people died last year because they were unable to heat their homes; while energy minister Ed Davey's solution to fuel poverty is to advise people to "wear a jumper".
Fuel poverty is mobilising people to seek alternatives to the corporate control of energy (the Big Six control 99% of our domestic gas and electricity supply). Following the latest round of price hikes, the announcement of mega-profits and eye-watering chief executive pay, the companies' claims that they have no obligation to keep the lights on is fertile ground for civil disobedience.
Activism on climate change is back too, and this time it is thinking global but acting local. Government plans to allow 64% of England to be fracked for shale gas and coal bed methane are sowing the seeds of community-based opposition. Whether it's Balcombe telling Cuadrilla where to go, or East Kent and Salford rejecting I-Gas and Coastal Oil, these communities are united by a vital experience – a total lack of democracy when it comes to energy. The all-party narrative of re-powering the UK with local gas is profoundly disempowering for those who have to deal with it up close.
Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth are backing these local campaigns, while No Dash for Gas, Disabled People Against Cuts, Occupy and UK Uncut were all part of the Reclaim the Power camp in Balcombe this summer, which shut down Cuadrilla for six days. We are witnessing a growing coalition of protest groups linking climate change to fuel poverty, democracy and social justice. Fuel Poverty Action and UK Uncut are planning actions against the Big Six, highlighting single mothers, disabled activists, pensioners and asylum seekers – those hardest hit by fuel poverty.
Renewable energy co-operatives have grown by 24% since 2008, showing that alternative power is technically as well as politically possible. Progressive unions are also joining in with One Million Climate Jobs and National Climate Service vision to get us out of austerity and into co-operatively owned sustainable industries.
Fuel poverty is a symptom of the free market. Neither the coalition policy of increasing competition nor Labour's plan to bring prices under government control are sufficient. Seventy percent of British people support public ownership of energy. Direct democratic control, with an emphasis on locally generated renewable energy, is what's needed.
In Germany, where renewables account for 25% of the energy mix and are 65% publicly owned, the main four companies feel some energy insecurity. In Berlin, the Energeitisch initiative, started up by eight people, has mobilised 50,000 Berliners in just over two years to force a referendum on reclaiming the city's grid from the Norwegian corporation Vattenfall (one of the UK's biggest windpower operators) and move it into 100% renewable, democratic control. The network, supported by unions, co-operatives and campaigners, operates a "no disconnections" policy – vital, given that 20,000 people in Berlin were cut off last year.
In Greece, where fuel prices have risen 12 times over the past four years, amounting to a total increase of 50%, the leftwing party Syriza is seriously debating a radical energy policy.
Local energy co-operatives could hold the key not just to local supplies but also to rebuilding communities after austerity, co-creating energy, climate and economic security for the majority. These discussions are happening all over the world. It is through the process of de-privatising energy that we can organise our societies along genuinely democratic lines and begin to reclaim our power, wherever we live.

FOTOGRAFIA: Kidnapped by Gypsies
Greek police said on Oct. 18 that a four-year-old girl found two days earlier at a Roma (gypsy) settlement in Farsala, near Larissa in central Greece, was kidnapped from her biological parents in 2009 by two residents of the camp after a DNA test on the couple showed that they were not her biological parents.
Suspicions were raised as the girl is blonde and fair-skinned with green eyes and bears no physical resemblance to either of the Roma camp residents who had kept her as their child.
The couple was detained for questioning by police in Larissa and reportedly kept changing their testimonies about how the girl came to live with them on the camp, although no further details were given.
Police said that in some way the the Roma couple had also managed to obtain the girl's birth certificate from municipal authorities.
Police in Larissa said they are seeking the girl's biological parents and asked anyone with information to telephone them at 2410-683171 or 2410-683184-5.
The four-year-old was being looked at after by the child support group Hamogelou Tou Paidiou (Child's Smile).

KOUZINA: Octopus Stewed in Red Wine
Many people run away with their hands aloft at the thought of eating octopus, others say that eating octopus is like eating one of the spare tires from your car.
I don?t subscribe to either perspective, because cooked properly octopus is absolutely delicious and almost melts in the mouth. We do this through tenderizing, either through slow cooking or hammering, as you would with a steak. No need to throw your octopus at the first available rock these day if you have a rolling-pin or tenderizing hammer handy although Greek fisherman still practice this ancient tradition.

Troika Challenges Greece Over 2B Euro Gap
ATHENS - Greece faces tough negotiations with international lenders over a looming fiscal gap in the 2014 budget that could undermine its chances of emerging from a six-year recession.
The Troika ? the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund ? wants the government to adopt further austerity measures after identifying a potential shortfall of ?2 billion ($2.73 billion in the latest budget draft submitted by Athens.
Greek finance ministry officials say the gap amounts to only ?500 million ($684.03 million) and can be covered through a crackdown on social security fraud by thousands of cash-strapped small businesses who fail to pay contributions.
?There is a clear disagreement,? said a senior finance ministry official. ?The Troika always presses for additional measures but we?ve reached the limit for making horizontal cuts in wages and pensions.?

Karnazes Is Running With Pheidippides
Dean Karnazes is not a man to shy away from challenges: like Pheidippides, the original marathon runner who delivered the news of the Greek army's victory over invading Persian forces, he doesn't give up.
Seven years ago, he ran 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days from one coast of the US to the other. Before that he spent three days and three nights running 350 miles ? the last night 'sleep running' as he went. He has crossed all four of the world's great deserts, including Death Valley, the hottest place on Earth. And he's run through sub-zero temperatures to get to the South Pole, the coldest place. In 2015, he hopes to traverse the world by clocking up marathons throughout the year in 204 countries.
But now the Californian has set his sights on crisis-hit Greece, the land of his forebears, where he arrived this week on a mission of endurance and hope.
