Argentinian Extradition
Not Likely To Happen
Rome (JTA) — Argentina is un-
likely to extradite accused Nazi
war criminal Erich Priebke to
Italy to be tried in Rome on
charges of mass murder, accord-
ing to a local media report.
The newspaper La Stampa
quoted Mr. Priebke's lawyer, Pe-
dro Bianchi, as saying in a tele-
phone interview from Buenos
Aires that procedural errors by
Italian officials would ensure that
Mr. Priebke would never be ex-
tradited.
"Argentine justice is slow and
complex," Mr. Bianchi was quot-
ed as saying. "We are still carry-
ing out a procedural battle, but
there are no doubts about the fi-
nal result: The request for extra-
dition will not be agreed. It was
extremely poorly presented and
full of errors of form."
Mr. Priebke, 82, is wanted as
one of the alleged perpetrators of
the mass murder of 335 Romans
in 1944. At the time, he was an
.
Mr. Priebke escaped
from a British
prisoner of war
camp in 1948.

SS captain and deputy to Herbert
Kappler, the Gestapo chief dur-
ing the Nazi occupation of Rome.
The massacre at the Ardeatine
Caves south of Rome, which in-
cluded 75 Jewish victims, was in
reprisal for a March 1944 parti-
san attack that resulted in the
deaths of 33 German stormtroop-
ers in Rome.
Mr. Kappler ordered that 10
Italians be executed for every
dead German.
The massacre is considered the
worst war crime to have taken
place on Italian soil. It has be-
come Italy's symbol both of the
Holocaust and of Nazi repression
in general.
Mr. Priebke escaped from a
British prisoner of war camp in
1948, just before he was to appear
before a war crimes tribunal. He
then fled to Argentina.
He was tracked down last May
in the Argentine town of San Car-
lo Bariloche by ABC News.
Italy formally requested his ex-
tradition in May. But despite as-
surances from Argentine
President Carlos Menem that
Mr. Priebke would be extradited,
there has been little progress in
the case since then.
Mr. Priebke's lawyer told La
Stampa that one problem in the
request to hand over Mr. Priebke
was that Italy had requested his
extradition for the specific crime
Erich Priebke:
Former SS captain.
of having murdered five people
during the massacre. But Ar-
gentina has a statute of limita-
tions of 15 years on murder
charges.
He said the extradition treaty
between Italy and Argentina for-
bids extradition if the crime is no
longer subject to prosecution in
one or the other country.
Last week, La Stampa said,
the court tribunal overseeing the
extradition request agreed to Mr.
Bianchi's demand that all docu-
mentation on Mr. Priebke from
the Italian side be translated into
Spanish. •
This request, La Stampa re-
ported, would cover some 100,000
pages of documents and would
take years to accomplish.
Public Access
To Privacy
Jerusalem (JTA) — Police are in-
vestigating how computer list-
ings containing personal
information about every Israeli
citizen ended up in the hands of
at least one private company.
Israeli television reported that
the company, Makbalit, was sell-
ing CD-ROM computer disks con-
taining data on the Israeli
population. The information,
which is normally used by gov-
ernment agencies, is not for pub-
lication or general distribution.
According to the report, at the
touch of a button, users of the
CD-ROM can call up the age,
telephone number and address
of every Israeli citizen — includ-
ing the head of the General Se-
curity Services.
The head of the police inves-
tigations unit, Yosef Levy, said a
search is on for the owners of the
company, who he said went into
hiding after getting word they
were suspected of wrongdoing.
