The FBI believes that the leading financial backer of American white supremacist groups, is hiding in Ireland. FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) officials in Seattle have uncovered a forwarding address in Dublin for multimillionaire Vincent Bertollini, who has spent millions of dollars promoting neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in recent years. Bertollini fled his home in the US state of Idaho in 2001 while awaiting sentencing on his third drink-driving offence, for which he was due to be imprisoned. Bertollini (56) made millions of dollars during the Silicon Valley tech boom in the 1990s, along with his business partner and fellow white supremacist, Carl E Story, and used it to fund racist groups.
The pair also set up their own neo-Nazi church, called the 11th Hour Remnant Messenger, and regularly visited the Aryan Nations headquarters in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Story and Bertollini believe that white Anglo-Saxons are the chosen people described in the Bible, that Jews are the product of a sexual union between Eve and Satan, and that non-whites are soul-less subhumans.
