Vannacci a bit down but determined to defend self - Politics. Italian antigay general Roberto Vannacci is "a bit down" from possible charges of embezzlement and fraud linked to his stint as military attaché in Moscow a few years ago.
Head of the Italian military observatory says probe is result of "baseless allegations made by the (defense) ministry to politically burn the general and throw him under the bus" "But he will go ahead," says Domenico Leggiero.
