Overview
- Prosecutors asked for a nine-month prison term for Marco Castoldi, known as Morgan, on the charge of insulting public officials.
- The case stems from a June 2019 eviction at Morgan’s Monza home and studio on Via Adamello in the Triante district.
- The prosecution says he called officers “monsters,” “ignorant,” and “ridiculous,” and likened them to “executioners” and “undertakers.”
- Morgan argues he was in profound psychological distress, did not realize some people present were police, and says his barbs targeted the buyer and the court bailiff with a sarcastic tone.
- The prosecutor noted a prior similar accusation within five years but applied generic mitigating circumstances, and the three officers did not file as civil plaintiffs while the defense seeks acquittal.
