Talk:Edoardo Prettner Cippico

Senator uncle
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 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: I couldn't google any links between those names and "Prettner" or "Cippico". jnestorius(talk) 21:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Trent: Eugenio Carlo Valussi (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)

Double agent?
Some sources call him a double agent: jnestorius(talk) 21:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 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)

1952 sentence stayed?
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. However, the Unità article 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)
