Politician as witness
Trial over fake porn with Meloni’s face
Two Italians, father and son, have been charged with publishing manipulated porn videos on a US website in 2020 featuring the face of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni instead of the actresses. Meloni testified as a witness via video conference at the trial on Tuesday.
"I filed a complaint because I consider what happened to be intolerable. I work every day to combat violence against women and must set a good example and take action against those who do wrong," said Meloni in her response to the public prosecutor Maria Paola Asara, as reported by Italian media.
Meloni wants to toughen penalties
Meloni emphasized that her government wanted to toughen the penalties for offences of this kind. "With artificial intelligence, it will soon be impossible to understand what is true and what is not. We have to start with the responsibility of the individual," said the Prime Minister.
100,000 euros in compensation demanded
During the proceedings, Meloni's lawyer Maria Giulia Marongiu demanded compensation of 100,000 euros. If the head of government is awarded the amount, she wants to donate it to a fund for victims of violence that has been set up at the Ministry of the Interior.
Judge Monia Adami adjourned the proceedings in the city of Sassari in Sardinia until February 2025. Further witnesses for the prosecution are to be heard.
