Roberto Saviano indicted for defamation against Giorgia Meloni
Roberto Saviano, journalist and writer, was indicted by the gup of Rome on charges of defamation against the leader of the Brothers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. Writer had defined Meloni as “bastar * a” during the episode of “Piazzapulita” on La7 in December 2020. The theme at the center of the episode was irregular arrivals and shipwrecks in the Mediterranean. The first hearing of the trial was set for November 15, 2022.
“The judge called the epithet ‘bastard’ exorbitant with respect to the right of political criticism, while Saviano claimed his words in the courtroom. I let go of you. I don’t think it’s a courtroom behavior and in so many years as a lawyer it has never happened to me “, said the honorable Andrea Delmastro delle Vedove, Giorgia Meloni’s lawyer, present today at the hearing in which the Rome judge indicted the writer Roberto Saviano.
