Partisans Carry Out Speedy Justice
Public Exhibition of Bodies in Como and Milan

Monday April 30, 1945
The Guardian

The Italian partisans have carried out swift justice on Mussolini and other Fascist leaders. They have been shot and their bodies have been exhibited in public squares in Como and Milan.
The executions were apparently carried out near Como by shooting in the back. Mussolini was caught while driving in a car, with his uniform covered by a German greatcoat.

Farinacci, who had been Mussolini's delegate to the German Command in Italy, had already been tried and shot, Milan radio reported on Saturday. Farinacci was said to have been arrested at the same time as his chief.

1. Lucky Luciano probably started packing his bags in prison at that point...
...since he was soon released from jail to go home to Sicily, thus fulfilling the other half of the deal.
