description In 2004, the German Federal Supreme Court overturned the sentence imposed on the «Butcher of Genoa» two years earlier by the Hamburg Regional Court. This was the name given by the international media to the SS officer Friedrich Engel, who was responsible for several massacres in Italy and the murder of at least 246 people. With the verdict of the Federal Supreme Court, one of the few criminal proceedings for war crimes in Italy that took place in German courts ended without a verdict. It had already taken 55 years for the first legal proceedings against Engel in Turin, as the German and Italian prosecuting authorities were not interested in prosecuting the war criminal.
