The populist magazine OGGI has been hit with calunnia suits several times as it seems sympathetic to the mafia and often prints favourable stories about it.

Both Sollecito and Knox paid a lot of money to smear the Italian police and prosecutor in the media, in a blatant attempt to pervert justice. West Seattle Herald and Doug Preston were some of the parties involved.

Fascinating.
Even after all this time, some people still don't get the difference between calunnia (Art. 368 cp) and diffamazione (Art. 595 cp)... :jaw-dropp
The highlighted part above is an interesting way to interpret the highlighted parts of Art. 368 cp below...
Quote:
Chiunque, con denuncia [c.p.p. 333], querela [c.p.p. 336], richiesta [c.p.p. 342] o istanza [c.p.p. 341], anche se anonima o sotto falso nome, diretta all'Autorità giudiziaria o ad un'altra Autorità che a quella abbia obbligo di riferirne o alla Corte penale internazionale(1), incolpa di un reato taluno che egli sa innocente(2), ovvero simula a carico di lui le tracce di un reato(3), è punito con la reclusione da due a sei anni.

... but of course completely irrelevant, since you and Bill are obviously talking about the "diffamazione" sattelites...

I always think it rather cute criminals always blame the prosecutor.

Subsequent to that trial, Mignini was censured by his own professional association for violating Sollecito's rights at interrogation.
He also charged all and sundry with various degrees of defamation, all of which got dropped, except for the acquittal granted Amanda Knox in her allegation that she'd been slapped at interrogation.
Mignini's lawsuits against The West Seattle Herald as well as against Knox's parents lapsed. What is of note about the last one is that Mignini did not include either the publisher or the reporter of the liable. Could that be because the reporter was John Follain, a British tabloid hack who wrote nothing but glowing stuff about him?
Both Mignini's lawsuit and parallel criminal trial brought against Sollecito and Gumbel were laughed out of court.
Mignini also did not get very far in his lawsuit against Maori et al. (This isn't even an exhaustive list!)
Right. This is just a prosecutor "doing his job".

AFAIK none of the "diffamazione" sattelites Dottore Mignini wasn't "compelled by law to sue for" resulted in any conviction.
Bill is quite right about this.
When it comes to "calunnia", what's left is "calunnia I "(Lumumba), where we are still waiting for "Italy" to come up with a solution regarding the ECHR decision and "calunnia -bis" (Mignini, police, interpreter) that ended with:
Quote:
"assolve Knox Amanda Marie dal reato attribuitole al capo a), perché i fatti non sussistono, e dal reato attribuitole al capo b), perché i fatti non sussistono e perché il fatto non costituisce reato, quanto alle accuse rivolte al dr. Giuliano Mignini

Just for the record... ;)
