Author Saviano faces three criminal defamation lawsuits for his public remarks. The lawsuits were brought against him by politicians, including former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. On November 15, 2022, his trial for calling Prime Minister Meloni and the former Deputy Salvini “bastards” began in Rome. He faced potentially three years in prison. In October 2023, Saviano was found guilty of libel and was handed a 1000 euros suspended fine, which he will pay if he repeats the offense.
