Rocco Casalino defamation lawsuit ruling

Overview

A civil court in Brindisi has ordered Roberto D’Agostino, founder of a digital news site, to pay 75,000 euros in damages to Rocco Casalino. The ruling stems from a defamation lawsuit involving articles and social media posts regarding Casalino’s previous tenure as spokesperson for Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

The court determined the content was harmful to Casalino’s dignity, noting the presence of a homophobic photomontage in a social media post. D’Agostino was also ordered to pay more than 14,000 euros in legal costs and remove the contested digital content. D’Agostino has indicated his intention to appeal.
