This rather unpleasant individual who has the ring of Voldemort about him, is the ex-editor of the Berlusconi in house paper – Il giornale. Yesterday he was sentenced to 14 months in prison for an article he wrote/published a few years ago about a judge. Mr Sallusti says it is all a conspiracy and a denial of the right of opinion. To anyone else familiar with the law, the article was blatantly libellous. To cap it all the article was ‘anonymous’ – whether Sallusti wrote it, but didnt have the courage to put his name to it, or whether he condoned a hacks unproven allegations, the result was the same. There is now a backlash against the ‘freedom of the press’ – a freedom Sallusti – as the barking mad dog of Mr B – has spent years trying to clamp down on. Pot – kettles – black
