Prosecutors in northern Italy
have charged seven people with racial discrimination and
defamation against figures including Pope Francis.
Using an anti-Semitic website called Holywar, the suspects
in Bolzano depicted the pontiff in photoshopped images dressed
as a bearded Orthodox Jew waving the Israeli flag with a
swastika at the center of the Star of David.
Other figures targeted on the site included three-time
premier Silvio Berlusconi, sitting Premier Matteo Renzi,
European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi and Oscar-winning
performer Roberto Benigni.
Prosecutors said the suspects spanned the length of Italy.
