“We learn today that Rai has given a mandate to its lawyers to proceed in criminal proceedings against Federico Leonardo Lucia, aka ‘Fedez’, in relation to the unlawful dissemination of the audio contents and aggravated defamation to the detriment of the company and of one of his employees which took place on the occasion of the concert on May 1st ». This was stated by Massimiliano Capitanio, deputy of the League and leader of the Rai Supervisory Group, regarding the response to the question in the Supervisory Authority on the controversies related to the May Day concert.
“It is a due and dutiful act – adds Capitanio – because on fundamental themes of our democracy, such as freedom of expression and respect for the person, it is not possible to joke or organize shows for a handful of likes. We only hope that the truth will emerge: we do not have a thirst for revenge and we have already declared ourselves available to accept Fedez’s request to come to the hearing in the Supervision. That evening too serious things were said and done, it would be offensive to our role to ignore it ».
In a video on Tik Tok and in the streaks of Instagram Fedez comments with his fans on the latest developments: «Update on my album of complaints. I’ve just been sued by Rai. I have always said that I take responsibility for what I have said and done and therefore face the consequences, but we should remember how State TV has behaved in this matter. I go up on stage on May 1st, I say that they pressured me to try to get the names of the Lega Nord supporters who said phrases like “if I had a gay son I would burn him in the oven”, and that the deputy director of Rai3 considered mine inappropriate text, I get off the stage and Rai says: “Federico tells lies, it’s not true” defaming me, then. And I publish the phone call where the deputy director of Rai3 is present in a phone call in which I am pressured to omit names, it is not clear why – concludes the singer, before ending the video with a sigh – being unquestionable facts what they said the leaguers ».
