Court of Milan prohibits Fabrizio Corona from publishing the Alfonso Signorini episode
The judge ordered an injunction for content deemed defamatory and of no public interest while Corona, also today, received a Consob fine for financial violations
Judge Roberto Pertile of the Civil Court of Milan ordered an urgent precautionary injunction against Fabrizio Corona, as requested by lawyers Domenico Aiello and Daniela Missaglia, who assist Alfonso Signorini.
The former photo agent will reportedly not be able to broadcast online the next episode of his format Falsissimo, which was scheduled for tonight, and will also have to remove content from the previous two.

The presenter and journalist in the petition had complained of a defamation campaign against him.
The judge's reasons for stopping Falsissimo
Fabrizio Corona, with the episodes of his 'Falsissimo' format on Alfonso Signorini, has only fuelled a "prurient public interest" and a "morbid curiosity for spicy sexual affairs" and has accused the presenter and journalist "of having 'perpetrated immoral conduct, deplorable and criminally relevant conduct'", but without "even the support of unequivocal evidence and with the sole aim of offending" his "dignity" in order to "gain financial gain".
This was written by the civil judge of Milan, Roberto Pertile. For the judge, in practice, for the contents disseminated by the former king of the paparazzi, at the centre of the appeal by Signorini's lawyers,there is a lack of 'public interest', 'freedom of the press' does not apply, and one cannot even speak of 'expression of the legitimate right to freely express one's thoughts'.
