An Italian military investigating judge has refused to charge a retired general (and elected Member of the European Parliament) with defamation on the basis of a book he wrote. The judge reviewed the book and decided it wasn't defamatory. But one might wonder: why is this the business of the military justice system?
"The legal case had undergone several developments: initially the military prosecutor of Rome had requested the archiving , but the investigating judge had ordered the forced indictment , reopening the case. [Roberto] Vannacci's defense, already in October 2024, through his lawyer, Giorgio Carta, had explained: «There is no defamatory intent in the book towards a specific soldier who, incidentally, is not indicated by name and who has never filed a complaint in this regard»."
