The United States implicitly supported the initiative to keep former Fascist administrators in positions of power. Not only within the liberal parties, but particularly in the military and secret service.

With the approval of [the] National Security Council[’s] Henry Kissinger, the American ambassador Graham Martin gave $800,000 to military intelligence leader Vito Miceli to keep the Italian Communist Party out of power. Miceli was later a deputy of parliament for the neofascist M.S.I., and a member of an infamous secretive network.
