Italian newspaper sued over the article calling for Putin's killing
Italian journalism found itself in a controversial situation, as evidenced by the discussion in the press caused by the publication in La Stampa. The author of the article, Domenico Quirico, rhetorically titled it "If killing Putin is the only way out." The answer of the Russian Embassy in Italy was not long in coming.
The embassy released a photo of the article, commenting on it with a question about a possible threat to relations between the two countries. On March 25, Russian Ambassador Sergei Razov filed a claim with the Moscow prosecutor's office. He demanded that the journalist and editor-in-chief of the publication be held criminally liable for public calls for murder.
For a nationwide large-circulation newspaper, such words are all the more inappropriate.
Massimo Giannini, the editor-in-chief of La Stampa, did not explain his position on the newspaper's page in detail, limiting himself to a few lines on Twitter. In his opinion, the presence of the word “if” in the title of the publication makes it clear that the article does not contain any incitement to murder. Moreover, according to Giannini, the journalist Quirico asserts the exact opposite meaning in it: the killing of the Russian president will not only change anything, but will even aggravate an already difficult situation.
Experts in Italy believe that journalism in the country put on a “war helmet” after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began. The reason for one-way publications in the press, coming mainly from Kyiv, was the closure of Russian websites and media outlets. After the entry into force of the Russian law against fakes, many correspondents and information services (for example, the RAI TV channel) left Russia. In this situation, according to the publication byoblu.com, more and more journalists, who clearly dream of a second life as warriors or secret agents, appear.

If their guilt is proven in court, according to the Italian law, they may be sentenced to the imprisonment for up to 5 years.
As bitterly noted on the website of the Milanese publishing house byoblu.com, the direction chosen by Italian journalism is thereby beginning to lose its focus on an impartial report on current events, turning into a manifestation of an active militant position. Even the president of Ukraine, critics say, has not gone so far in his rhetoric as to call for Putin’s killing.For a nationwide large-circulation newspaper, such words are all the more inappropriate.
The Russian ambassador to Italy said in an interview that he believed in Italian justice.
That is why he asked the prosecutor's office to consider this case as impartially as possible. At the same time, Razov noted that the publication itself is outside the ethics, morality and norms of journalistic activity.Massimo Giannini, the editor-in-chief of La Stampa, did not explain his position on the newspaper's page in detail, limiting himself to a few lines on Twitter.
