Rome (JTA) — Italian state-run
television has reportedly paid ac-
cused Nazi war criminal Erich
Preibke $30,000 for a one-hour
interview.
The interview, broadcast on
Aug. 31, and the reported pay-
ment, heightened the controver-
sy surrounding the former SS
captain, who is wanted by the
Italian government for his alleged
role in one of the worst massacres
to have taken place during World
War II in Italy.
The interview with Italian
state-run television, known as
RAI, took place as Italy contin-
ues to push Argentina for Mr.
Preibke's extradition so that he
can stand trial for his role in the
massacre of 335 men, including
75 Jews, at the Ardeatine Caves
near Rome on March 23, 1944.
A World Jewish Congress offi-
cial in New York called the
$30,000 payment "blood money,"
adding that the actions of Italian
television are a "moral outrage."
A RAI official denied that a
payment was made for the in-
terview, which took place in Mr.
Priebke's home in Bariloche, a ski
resort with a sizable German
colony in Argentina.
In the interview, Mr. Priebke
said the Roman Catholic Church
made possible his 1948 escape to
Argentina.
"A Franciscan priest helped us
and we obtained passports
through the International Red
Cross," Mr. Priebke, now 82, told
RAI.
The Argentine Supreme Court
will now rule on the extradition.
On Aug. 23, an appellate court
overturned the original May 4 ex-
tradition order on the grounds
that the 15-year statute of limi-
tations for murder under Argen-
tine law expired.
