"Not punishable for the particular tenuousness of the fact".
The trial held in court in Turin, which saw Matteo Salvini accused of insulting the judicial order, ends with this sentence.
In 2016, in Collegno (Turin), during a speech at the Lega regional congress, Salvini referred to the judiciary as a "crap" and "a cancer to be eradicated".
The ruling is by judge Roberto Ruscello.
The prosecution had asked for the leader of the League to be sentenced to pay a fine of three thousand euros.
"The Italian justice system must be profoundly reformed, the 'Palamara system' must be dismantled for the good of the citizens and of the many truly free and independent judges".
The leader of the League thus comments on his acquittal in Turin from the accusation of insulting the judicial order.
"I'm happy, I thank the judge and the lawyer", adds the representative of the Carroccio.
"A sentence that restores the rule of law".
Thus the defense lawyer Claudia Eccher comments on the sentence with which the Court of Turin declared Matteo Salvini "not punishable for particular tenuousness of the fact" at the end of a trial in which the leader of the League was accused of insulting the judicial order.
"the judge - explains the lawyer - correctly contextualized the contested sentences, which were pronounced within a party meeting and therefore in an absolutely private and not public forum".
Furthermore, according to Eccher "the judge verified that, in any case, these are words that have lost their offensive charge".
