The writer and his supporters had presented the case as a test of freedom of expression.
ROME: Italian anti-Mafia author and human rights campaigner Roberto Saviano was on Thursday convicted of libel and fined €1,000 for calling Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni a “bastard” over her hardline views on immigration.
A Rome court found Saviano guilty and imposed the fine. The prosecution had asked for a 10,000-euro penalty. “All the bullshit , sea taxis, cruises ,” he said. “All I can say is: bastards, how could you? Meloni, Salvini: bastards.” Last year, Meloni told a newspaper she saw no reason to drop the charges – as she has been urged to by the PEN International writers’ association – saying judges could decide “impartially” even in a case involving the prime minister.
