'Meloni, you're only 4 feet tall. I can't even see you': Italian journalist fined for making fun of her height

India TV News  

Rome: A Milan court has ordered a journalist to pay Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni damages of 5,000 euros for making fun of her in a social media post, news agency ANSA and other local media reported. The journalist, Giulia Cortese, was also given a suspended fine of 1,200 euros for a jibe on Twitter, now named X, in October 2021 about Meloni's height that was defined as "bodyshaming". Last year a Rome court fined best-selling author Roberto Saviano 1,000 euros plus legal expenses after he insulted her on television in 2021 over her hardline stance on illegal immigration. Journalists at Italian state broadcaster RAI went on strike in May in protest against the "suffocating control" over their work by Meloni's government.
