Family demands return of Nazi’s body

The family of Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke have demanded the return of his body after his funeral was disrupted by protesters and his coffin taken away by Italian authorities.

Priebke died last week, aged 100, in Rome, where he spent the end of his life under house arrest for his role in the killing of 335 civilians in 1944, one of Italy’s worst wartime massacres.

He never apologised for his crimes.
