In Trieste, the little, dissident “pro-independence” groups lead by Giorgio Marchesich and others were fooled by an old fixer from Naples, born in Caserta: Gian Gaetano (also said Nello) Caso. His name bears connections to scandals involving Italian military secret services (1990-91 “Kollbrunner case” regarding the international laundering of bank stocks stolen by the banda della Magliana – Magliana gang LINK) and, in more recent times, in a series of bankruptcies, arrests, and trials for serious crimes.
In particular, it results that in 2011 Caso was arrested for banking illegalities worth more than EUR 200 million, false invoices amounting to EUR 9 million, fictitious capital increases for EUR 80 million EUR, bankruptcy involving fraud, an aggravated fraud attempt against Italian Region Abruzzo to obtain, unlawfully, public funds, falsehood, aggravated slander, and resistance to a representative of public authority.
The fixer reached Trieste from Rome this October [2016], suggesting pro-independence groups to establish, under his personal control and thanks to Italian supports and funding, an illegal Government of the Free Territory of Trieste (which is already entrusted to the Italian Government, by the British-United States governments under a mandate of temporary civil administration) and to occupy its Northern Free Port with private police forces, in order to cause international incidents.
The political and financial proposals of the Italian fixer were a rough provocation, in obvious breach of the legal order and against the legitimate interests of the present-day Free Territory of Trieste, of the International Community, and of the Italian Republic itself. This is why Free Trieste took care of documenting the provocation, rejecting it, and reporting it.
However, Mr. Marchesich’s little dissident group and others alike did easily fall in the fixer from Naples’ trap, accepting to establish his illegal and downgrading “Government” which, under the acronym “ICFPT” is now spreading grotesque, ungrammatical proclamations.
This is an outright fraud, prosecutable also by the judiciary for crimes of subversion against the legal order of the administered Free Territory. In view of all of this, Free Trieste advises against engagement with those people.
