Igor says doesn't want public trial

Defence asks fast-track trial pending psych report

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Bologna, October 31v - Alleged multiple murdered Norbert Feher aka 'Igor the Russian' said at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that he did not want a public trial.
    On a video link with Zaragoza prison in Spain, the Serb was asked if he would allow journalists to be present.
    His defence requested a fast-track trial pending a psychiatric evaluation.
    The daughter of one of Igor's victims, environmental aid worker Valerio Verri, told reporters "sadly perhaps a murderer with a black skin would make more of a noise than Igor".
    Feher was indicted in April for the murders of barman Davide Fabbri and Verri near Bologna and Ferrara in April last year.
    In the indictment request, Feher was cited as using at least six aliases.
    He has been charged with 11 crimes including murder, judicial sources said.
    Feher is in jail in Zaragoza in Spain where he has been indicted for another three murders committed before he was arrested there in December.
    Feher alias Igor Vaclavic confessed to two murders in Italy and three in Spain before a Spanish magistrate in mid-December.
    But he refused to answer Italian prosecutors' questions, exercising his right to remain silent.
    Feher, 37, was captured on December 15 after a shoot-out in which three people, including two members of Spain's Guardia Civil police, were killed.
    Feher, who was born in Serbia in 1981, said he had used 18 different identities in eight States.
    He said he arrived in Spain in September and agreed to be tried in Italy for the crimes he is accused of there.
    Spain has said he will not be extradited to Italy until he has answered for the crimes he committed in Spain.
