Overview

• Preliminary hearing judge Luca Milani found Parodi guilty of aggravated defamation and propaganda based on racial, ethnic or religious hatred after an Instagram video about Senator for Life Liliana Segre.
• The sentence of one year and six months reflects a one‑third reduction under the abbreviated procedure chosen by the defense.
• The court granted a conditional suspension of the sentence, requiring Parodi to publish the judgment on the Justice Ministry website for 20 days at her expense.
• Immediate provisional damages were ordered: €10,000 to Segre, €5,000 to The International Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, €500 to its president Meir Linzen, and €5,000 to the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, with final civil compensation to be set later.
• The judge reclassified the indictment from instigation to violence to hate‑propaganda under anti‑discrimination law, the prosecutor had sought the same term, Parodi expressed regret in court, and Jewish organizations welcomed the decision.
