Cucchi case, convicted of former Sap secretary for defamation

The monochrome court of Rome has sentenced Gianni Tonelli, former secretary general of the Sap union and Northern League deputy, for defamation after the lawsuit filed by Ilaria Cucchi, Stefano’s sister. For Tonelli, a fine of one thousand euros was taken in addition to damages. “’In this country it is necessary to stop unloading the responsibilities of individuals, of those who abuse alcohol and drugs, of those who live on the edge of legality on the servants of the state. If one has contempt for one’s health and leads a profligate life, one pays the consequences. Without others, doctors, nurses or policemen in this case, to be punished for offenses not their own ‘. So spoke Gianni Tonelli, today honorable – writes Ilaria Cucchi in a post on Facebook – after the sentence of the Court of Assizes of Appeal which in 2014 had acquitted all the defendants for lack of evidence, in the wrong trial. The Rome Prosecutor’s Office had asked for our complaint to be closed. “” Today he insisted, asking for his acquittal for legitimate exercise of the right of criticism. The investigating judge, before, and the Court of Rome now, were of different opinion – he continues – The Honorable Gianni Tonelli, League member, at the time secretary of the Sap police union, was finally sentenced today. He was present in the classroom next to me. This is not the first sentence pronounced against him and it will not even be the last – concludes Cucchi – A heartfelt thanks to Fabio and his collaborators Bernardo Gentile and Silvia Galeone ”.
