Bertollini sues Coeur d'Alene newspaper

From our staff

Coeur d'Alene _ Vincent Bertollini has filed a libel lawsuit against the Coeur d'Alene Press, disputing language in an article that described him as a neo-Nazi and white supremacist.

Bertollini, who is a co-founder of The 11th Hour Remnant Messenger ministry in Sandpoint, said the descriptions are "lies and patently false."

The article Bertollini finds fault with was an Associated Press article published by the Press on Feb. 23 about his lawsuit against a Coeur d'Alene area motel.
He sued the motel for refusing to allow him to hold a meeting in its conference room.

Bertollini is demanding a retraction, an apology and $37 million in punitive damages.

Bertollini is well-known in the area for his support of Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler, and for widely distributing literature that attacks Jews and human rights leaders.
