Overview
- After the October 28 hearing before Judge Paola Scorza, the court reserved its decision on whether Vittorio Sgarbi needs a court-appointed support administrator, with some reports indicating up to 15 days for a ruling.
- Evelina Sgarbi said she instructed her lawyer, Lorenzo Iacobbi, to file for the judge’s recusal, alleging an inappropriate focus on media optics during the hearing.
- She claimed the judge accepted a book and asked for an autograph from her father and admonished her about speaking to journalists, which she argues undermined judicial impartiality.
- Evelina has publicly argued that her father is not managing his own affairs, citing concerns over control of his phone and blocked access to health information at Policlinico Gemelli.
- Supporters of Vittorio Sgarbi gathered outside the courthouse and some shouted “shame” at Evelina, while both father and daughter left without making statements.
