Mercenary in ITALY ie Franco Nerozzi NPO "POPOLI"

santaclara | 15.10.2009 10:39 | World

Non profit organization POPOLI is apparently an association that is dedicated to bring aid (especially medicines, in partnership with Pharmacists Without Borders) and has, in its work plans, solidarity with the ethnic Karen in Burma and with the Montagnards Vietnam. This association, very well seen from the Radical Party, is headed by the journalist Franco Nerozzi from Verona, and at this point that we intend to make known to those who knew him, the other face of this activity of "solidarity".

Franco Nerozzi, now a freelance journalist in war in the early '90s was a journalist and reporter italian tv Rai, among the various departments was sent during the war in Afghanistan. In 1993 he made contact with his compatriot Nidia Cernecca, Istrian exile, who was convinced that the person responsible for the death of his father Joseph, who was killed in September 1943 during Istrian jacquerie by Ivan Motika. Nerozzi, according to the same Cernecca, was interested and willing to interview him for an article on TG7, and follow Cernecca who wanted to meet with the senior leadership. On 17/3/93 Nerozzi then went to Zagreb to interview Motike, together with an operator. Motike agreed to let them into the house on condition that they were done filming, but the operator had them anyway, in secret. Nidia Cernecca was in those days in Slovenia for work and the day after Nerozzi showed her shooting. Two days after she went along with the operator and Nerozzi Capuozzo, always with the hidden camera, the hospice to meet some of Rovinj Tomissich, then ninety and blind, for questioning.
If all this is true, there seems to have behaved professionally Nerozzi fair to people who went to interview in collaboration with Cernecca.
In 2001 he founded the Nerozzi NPO "Peoples", which first identified the population to "help" that of Karen, inhabitants of the mountains of eastern Burma, bordering Thailand in the fight against the government in Rangoon. Trieste Newspaper "Trieste Today, we read that , which opposes the government in Rangoon and that , deliver aid , ie by illegally crossing the border in Burma.
In the same year were organized three "missions", the third of whom also participated in two other journalists, both reporters of war: Monica Maggioni, RAI and Gian Micalessin, which he founded in the '80s, along with two other former militants of the Front Youth Trieste (Almerigo Grilz, who died while he was a reporter in Mozambique to anti-government guerrillas supported by South Africa, and Fausto Biloslavo), who then released a service aired between "special" of TG1 titled "Doctors on the front line .
In December 2002 instead Nerozzi got the headlines because his name was among those involved in investigations conducted by prosecutors in Verona and Torre Annunziata on a suspected smuggling of "mercenaries" (some also from Trieste), finished a round of merchants d 'arms and armed to be sent to various parts of the "hot" to destabilize the world - or restore order, as the developer of office - in areas such as the Comoros, as well as Bosnia, Rwanda, Burma. It is ventilated so the suspicion that the activity "humanitarian" and "solidarity" of Nerozzi had served as cover for other illegal activities.
The investigation was born , writes the "Il Piccolo" (6/5/05).
While still under investigation, in October 2003, in Trieste Nerozzi participated in a seminar organized by the "Novecento", whose spokesman, Angelo Lippi, a militant right-wing in his youth, in '92 was a candidate in the 'League of leagues ", founded by best-known Stefano Delle Chiaie (one of the key figures in the strategy of tension ie Plan Condor, friendship with Gelli, Pinochet and Franco), who, during the election campaign had paraded proudly being able to unite in its ranks, as well as people clearly right also escape the left. During this conference, devoted to "crimes" of "communist regimes", where speakers were well Nerozzi Lippi and even then two of the supplementary candidates for the House: the radical Christina Sponza and Renzo Codarin the (Berlusconi) House of Liberty, Nerozzi just to make up things in clear, described himself .
We have no intention of going into the activity of Nerozzi, we're certainly in a position to decide whether its just an innocent aid activities to people with whom have contacts and the contacts he has with people like Bob Denard are entirely innocent and have nothing to do with the alleged illegal activities of this, we simply take note of what was announced by the press, so for us Nerozzi is merely a suspect who bargained a sentence asserting that he was victim of a misunderstanding. But his political positions do not like, then we believe that, in the context of charities and aid to populations affected by war, there are many others which we can lend a hand, as their representatives will not be presented as "sinister and delusional, no matter what political color.
