Overview
- The Turin civil court’s First Civil Section, presided by Judge Ludovico Sburlati, issued the ruling on December 9, 2025.
- Feltri must pay €20,000 in damages to Asgi, publish the judgment on Corriere della Sera, and reimburse about €3,400 in legal costs.
- The case stems from a November 28, 2024 appearance on Radio24’s La Zanzara, where Feltri said he would “shoot [Muslims] in the mouth” and called Muslims an “inferior race.”
- Feltri’s defense citing the show’s provocative, satirical format and a subsequent article was rejected as the court found the remarks were not ironic and amounted to “dileggio o disprezzo,” referencing Cassation and ECHR jurisprudence.
- Asgi brought the suit with ARCI, Lunaria, Cambio Passo Onlus, and La Casa del Mondo intervening, following earlier measures including Feltri’s suspension by the Order of Journalists and an AGCOM fine of €150,000 against Radio24.
