convicted

He will have to compensate a defamed entrepreneur
RECIPIENT
The writer and Mondadori did not correct a passage on which the judge had already expressed his opinion
Roberto Saviano and Mondadori Libri were sentenced to jointly pay 15 thousand euros to an entrepreneur, already compensated with 30 thousand euros four years ago due to a sentence that became final. This is because the writer did not rectify the passage in the book “Gomorrah” in which Vincenzo Boccolato, with no criminal record and resident abroad, he is described as a member of a Camorra clan. The lawyers Alessandro Santoro made this known, Sandra Salvigni and Daniela Mirabile, lawyers of Boccolato, who explain that the provision, filed three days ago, it was signed by the judge of the first civil section of Milan Angelo Claudio Ricciardi.
In summary, Saviano and the publishing house decided to continue reprinting the same edition without removing the defamatory expressions sanctioned in the first conviction. Circumstance that the judge assessed as “new defamatory offence”.
