Signorini’s Lawyers Target Google as Judge Weighs Bid to Block Corona’s Next ‘Falsissimo’

The dispute now tests platform liability alongside a push for preventive limits on Corona’s online activity.

Overview

  • The Milan civil court heard Signorini’s urgent request on January 22 to halt the January 26 episode of ‘Falsissimo’ and to remove earlier content, with a decision pending.
  • Mediaset filed a criminal complaint in Milan for aggravated defamation and threats and asked the anti‑mafia directorate to seek a measure barring Corona from social platforms and mobile phones.
  • Signorini’s lawyers lodged complaints against Google Italy and Google Ireland over alleged non‑removal of defamatory material, and reports say the firms’ legal representatives have been registered as suspects for aggravated defamation.
  • Corona remains defiant, framing the moves as censorship, announcing the next episode for January 26 and declaring there will be no negotiations.
  • The clash intersects with parallel inquiries: Signorini was questioned on January 7 after a complaint by Antonio Medugno, and Corona was interrogated in late December in a separate revenge‑porn probe.
