years, however, as the six
sentences will run concur-
rently.
Judge Miriam Ben-Porat
of the Jerusalem District
Court, who pronounced the
sentences, said that Capucci
had exploited his high office
and abused Israel's hospital-
ity. She recalled that the
foreign ministry had issued
him a special permit at the
Vatican's request to travel
freely between Israel and
Lebanon and that he had
used that privilege to corn-
mit acts against Israel.
Capucci was sentenced to
two terms of 12 years each
for contacts with El Fatah
agents in Beirut on three
different occasions, and one
term of five years for un-
lawfully transporting arms.
He received three 10-year
terms for rendering services
to El Fatah. ,
Capucci was arrested last
August when police who had
him under surveillance stop-
ped his car and' found it
crammed with arms. As he
was led away from the court
after sentencing he smiled
and waved at several dozen
priests, nuns and other sup-
porters who filled the court-
room.
Well informed sources told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agen-
cy that the government had
no intention of deporting'
Capucci and intended that he
serve out the sentence im-
posed by the court. That in-
formation scotched rumors
that the government would
free Capucci and exile him
to an Arab state once legal
process ran its course.
The sources also stated
that no pressure or requests
on Capucci's behalf have
been received from the Vati-
can or from "any serious
church body." They said the
fact that Capucci's name has
appeared on lists of prison-
ers whose release has been
demanded by terrorists in
exchange for hostages play-
ed no part in the govern-
ment's decision. Terrorist at-
tacks such as the assaults on
Beisan and Rihaniya will
continue whether or not Ca-
pucci is deported, they said.
The cleric was permitted
by the court to read a "Pray-
er to 'Jesus" after he was
sentenced in which he de-
clared that he believed in
peace, sanctified. love and
would "sanctify the precious
land named Palestine." His
lawyer, Aziz Shehadeh, a
prominent attorney from Ra-
mallah who is regarded as
a moderate among West
Bank leaders, asked for a
suspended sentence but the
court rejected his appeal.
State Attorney Gabriel
Bach wh? conducted the pro-
secution's case, demanded
that the sentences run con-
secutively, in which case Ca-
pucci would be likely to
spend the rest of his life in
jail. But' -the court decided
that all terms would run con-
currently.
