Insults to Meloni During the Concert

The incident occurred on July 11, 2023, during the Stupinigi Sonic Park festival in the Turin area. The prosecution has closed the investigation but must wait for the outcome of an international rogatory to determine Molko's domicile, who is residing in London, and notify the acts of the proceeding. The file is managed by the prosecutor Enzo Bucarelli.

Molko had launched his invective against Giorgia Meloni in the interval between one song and another. The law enforcement had noted the episode and transmitted a report to the Court of Justice. The prosecution had opened a proceeding for vilification of the institutions. Subsequently, through a lawyer from Vercelli, the premier had filed a lawsuit for defamation. The Placebo's performance was followed by about 5,000 spectators. Some of them recorded Molko's performance with their cell phones and spread the videos on the web.
