Italian Court Rules Fascist Salutes Legal Unless Threatening Public Order
- Italy's high court ruled fascist salutes are legal at rallies unless they threaten public order or risk reviving the banned fascist party
- Ruling comes after video showed 150 men doing fascist salutes in Rome to commemorate 1978 killing of far-right youths
- Ruling not related to that rally, which is still under investigation - no arrests made
- Court ordered new appeal for 8 men convicted of doing salutes at 2016 event commemorating neo-fascist militant's killing
- Ruling means new appeal will focus on if there was threat to public order or aim to bring back fascist party
