Controversially , many of those detainees were speedily court martialed , condemned and shot , or killed without trial . Minister of Interior Mario Scelba later put the number of the victims of such executions at 732 , but other estimates were much higher .

Some partisans , such as perpetrators of the Schio massacre , were trialed by an Allied Military Court
