Sources: 5. Developments: 2. The Italian Court of Cassation has issued rulings regarding the enforcement of judicial protections and communication bans in cases of criminal conduct. In one instance, the Supreme Court upheld the revocation of social service probation for a man convicted of violence, threats, and persecutory behavior against a former partner. The court rejected defense appeals for house arrest, affirming that the defendant’s conduct was incompatible with social reintegration. In a subsequent ruling, the Fifth Criminal Section established a legal precedent concerning digital communication. The court determined that sending a Facebook friend request or making video calls to a person protected by a judicial communication ban constitutes a criminal violation. The judges clarified that the crime is consummated upon the attempt to contact the victim through any medium, regardless of whether the victim accepts or responds to the contact. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: Cassazione rules signing school minutes for colleagues is ideological falsehood The Italian Supreme Court ruled that signing school class council minutes on behalf of a colleague constitutes ideological falsehood, as these documents are official public acts. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/corte-di-cassazione-rules-social-media-contact-violates-communication-bans ### 2026-09-13: Italy's Court of Cassation revokes probation for stalker Italy's Court of Cassation has finalized the revocation of probation for a man convicted of stalking and threatening his former partner, upholding his immediate return to prison. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italys-court-of-cassation-revokes-probation-for-stalker --- Cite as: Italian judicial rulings on stalking and communication bans.
