Geolier affair, a complaint arrives at the Rome prosecutor's office for inciting racial hatred: “If this applies to Vannacci, it also applies to the insults in the press room”

The Neapolitan lawyer Angelo Pisani, president of the association, is on a war footing We, consumers and former defender of Diego Maradona, for the Geolier case during the last Sanremo. After having already filed a complaint with the Imperia public prosecutor's office in recent weeks, he now announces that he will send another to the Rome public prosecutor's office. The logic he adopted is that if General Vannacci is investigated for inciting racial hatred, the same can be done against the journalists present in the Festival press room. “If the law is the same for everyone, the same investigation carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office also goes to the two/three 'famous jurors' of the Sanremo press room, who stood out – through state television and amplified by the channels and Rai broadcasts when – overturning the vote and the ranking with shouts, statements, insinuations and interviews. They discriminated and offended not only a young 23-year-old Neapolitan artist but all the spectators and citizens of Campania,” Pisani explains in a note.

Insults from journalists: “We demand justice”

“An unidentified journalist speaking to Geolier said: “Who the hell is that?”, effectively implying that she was participating in the jury in the press room without knowing the artists in competition or at least the singer Geolier” , reports the prosecution. the press release. And again: “An unidentified journalist also declared very seriously: “Don’t let Campania vote anymore.” An unknown journalist, later identified as the “publicist” of Pavia Uno TV and Escodiradio.it, who admitted that she did not know the artist and his potential, later said: “I gave him one because I couldn’t give zero.” The same journalist, reports the lawyer, asked the singer of Secondigliano during a press conference if he had the feeling of having “stolen the victory” from Angelina Mango during the evening of covers and duets. For the lawyer, this is serious and incorrect behavior which influenced the other members of the Jury. “The juror – he adds – with a message published on Facebook on February 9, 2024, continued to offend Neapolitans by insinuating: “But how many call centers are there in Naples? Wordless! How awful! The Press Office in revolt”. And he concludes: “Beyond the hypothesis of the crime of incitement to racial hatred and manifestations of harassment, we demand justice”.
