Army General RobertoVannacci has been suspended from duty for 11 months.
This is what we learn from legal sources in reference to the disciplinary proceedings initiated in recent months by the Ministry of Defense after the publication of the book "The world upside down".
According to what was announced by the defender, Giorgio Carta, the provision "stigmatises the circumstances of the publication of the book "The world upside down" which allegedly denoted a 'lack of sense of responsibility' and determined an "injury to the principle of neutrality/third party of the Armed Forces", "compromising the prestige and reputation of the Administration to which they belong and generating possible disruptive and divisive emulative effects within the military structure".
The defender announces that an "immediate appeal will be lodged with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, with a request for suspension, revealing the conflict with the right to free demonstration of thought guaranteed to all citizens, including the military".
