Italian PM Giorgia Meloni sues Placebo singer Brian Molko for defamation
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has filed a defamation lawsuit against Placebo singer Brian Molko after he called her a "racist" and a "fascist" during a concert. The verbal assault prompted an investigation by prosecutors in Turin, and Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party denounced the insults and demanded an apology. If convicted, Molko could face a fine of around $5,500.
