Bannon arrested, Sgarbi: “Serious and inadmissible error”

The arrest of Steve Bannon “is a grave mistake of a failed presidency. It is an arrest based on opinion, because he was in vogue during the Trump presidency. Wrong and inadmissible action.” Thus Vittorio Sgarbi comments with the Adnkronos on the news of the arrest of the former adviser of Donald Trump and head of the strategy of the White House Steve Bannon, indicted for outrage to Congress for having ignored the subpoena of the Commission that investigates the events of the 6 January on Capitol Hill. “All these operations, like those against the no-vax, are limiting the freedom of opinion that may be questionable but are respectable opinions – Sgarbi sinks – Not even the church has been so severe. The church has not expelled Lefevre: if one takes a position that cannot be shared, this does not mean that he should be treated as a criminal “. Moreover, adds the deputy, “Bannon had had important support from those who were in government at the time, namely Salvini”. For Sgarbi, therefore, the arrest is “a wrong and inadmissible action. It is an arrest for a crime of opinion and therefore cannot in itself be prosecuted”.
