ROME - Italian anti-Mafia author and human rights campaigner Roberto Saviano was on Thursday convicted of libel and fined 1,000 euros 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.
