Venice court upholds expulsion of KKK leader David Duke

[Behind the Aegis]

A court in Venice upheld a decision by Italian authorities to expel former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke from the country.

The decision issued Dec. 5, on the heels of Duke’s expulsion by police in the northern province of Belluno, said Duke planned “to establish an organization aiming to exterminate the black and Jewish races in Europe.”

In expelling Duke, Belluno authorities were upholding a Swiss travel and residency ban on the KKK chief dating from 2009 that was valid in Italy. The Italian province’s authorities described Duke as “socially dangerous for his racist and anti-Semitic views.”

Duke had been living in a mountain village near Belluno since 2011. He allegedly used a false name, Ernest, to enter Italy on a study visa.

2. Venice has been known as "La Serenissima" for a long, long time. It never even burned heretics at

the stake, like other places in Italy did. Let's face it, Duke is BAD for tourism...and that ain't good for Venice...
