Nazis convicted of Italy's worst wartime massacre

A military tribunal in Italy convicted 10 former members of the Nazi SS and acquitted seven others for the 1944 slaughter of more than 700 people near Bologna – the worst Second World War-era civilian massacre in Italy.

The 10 received life sentences, said the Italian news agency ANSA and state-run TV RAI. They were also ordered to pay around £66 million in damages to the few survivors and relatives of the victims, the reports said.
