Italian Football Fed. Pres. in Anti-Semitic Rant; Asserted "It's Best to Keep Jews Under Control"

Italian Football Federation President Carlo Tavecchio is under attack for making anti-Semitic remarks, the Algemeiner website reports today (November 1, 2015).

Tavecchio was caught on tape using a derogatory Italian word for Jew -- "ebreaccio" -- during a conversation with a representative of the sports website Soccerlife.

During Italy's umbrella organization for amateur soccer, Tavecchio complained about the involvement in the Lega Nazionale Dilettanti on the part of real estate mogul Cesare Anticoli, a prominent Italian Jew and proud Israel-supporter.

Segments of the audio were released by the Italian daily "il Corriere della Sera," in which Tavecchio can be heard saying about Anticoli: "I don't have anything against Jews, but it's best to keep them under control."
