Information missing[edit]

Senator uncle[edit]

Stehle just calls his uncle "Senator Prettner", not giving a full name or saying what senate. There is no Prettner listed (list) in the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy. There is a Veit Prettner [de] listed (list ) in 1891–4 (dets) in the House of Deputies (Austria) but that was a lower house. Perhaps Stehle made a slip and the uncle was senator Antonio Cippico?

The bishops of Trent and Trieste with whom the senator was friendly might have been:

Trent: Eugenio Carlo Valussi [it] (1886–1903) or Celestino Endrici (1904–40)
Trieste: Franz Xaver Nagl (1902–10); Andrea Karlin (1911–19); Angelo Bartolomasi (1919–22); Luigi Fogar (1923–36)

I couldn't google any links between those names and "Prettner" or "Cippico". jnestorius^(talk) 21:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Double agent?[edit]

Some sources call him a double agent:

was he an opportunist who worked equally as suited himself, for the OSS (and CIA?) on the one hand and the Soviets (and Yugoslavs?) on the other hand?
or was he committed to one side and feeding false information to the other? The documents he supplied in the 60s and 70s were of little value. jnestorius^(talk) 21:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1952 sentence stayed?[edit]

I doubt he served any time in prison after his 1952 convictions. The Italian Code of Criminal Procedure provided a "suspension" (I think stay of execution rather than suspended sentence is the nearest equivalent in English law) until all appeals have been exhausted.^[1] However, the Unità article^[2] only mentions a sospesa for the fine of his coaccused, not for Cipico's imprisonment. I suspect the latter went without saying? jnestorius^(talk) 22:32, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
