Verona trial

Galeazzo Ciano and others at the Verona trial

The Verona Trial (Italian: processo di Verona) was a show trial held in January 1944 in the Italian Social Republic (RSI) to punish the 19 members of the Grand Council of Fascism who had voted for Benito Mussolini's removal from power in the Kingdom of Italy. Six of them had been captured by Mussolini's forces and were present for the trial. Five of them were sentenced to death and the others received a 30-year sentence. The remaining members who were not captured were all sentenced to death in absentia.
