Non-trial For The War Crimes
He was never prosecuted for the war crimes by the Allies because the British government with the beginning of cold war saw in the fellow-Fascist Pietro Badoglio's post-war political career a guarantee of an anti-communist post-war Italy.
Graziani in the early 1950s did some political activity with the neofascist Movimento Sociale Italiano, and become the "Honorary President" of this Italian party in 1953. In January 1955, at 72, he died of natural causes in Rome.
