A father (73) and a son (40) have been charged with publishing pornographic videos featuring the face of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Meloni’s lawyer is demanding compensation of 100,000 euros, which must be donated to victims of violence.
The incident took place in 2020. The defendants had published doctored porn videos on an American website with Meloni’s face instead of the actresses. The two men were identified by the username they used and the phone number from which the fake videos were distributed. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the sex videos were edited with graphic software.

The 73-year-old and the 40-year-old must now answer for defamation against the Italian head of government. After some of her employees became aware of the videos, Meloni filed a complaint. Her lawyer Maria Giulia Marongiu is demanding damages of 100,000 euros; the money should go to a Ministry of the Interior fund for victims of violence.
The hearing before Judge Monia Adami is scheduled for July 2. Meloni was called as a witness. The trial takes place in the town of Sassari, Sardinia.
