Placebo frontman Brian Molko has been charged with defamation by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who reacted to comments he made accusing her of being a "piece of shit, fascist, racist" during a performance in Turin in August 2023. The Italian justice ministry approved further legal actions against Molko, who could face significant fines but is unlikely to serve time. Meloni, leading a hard-right government, has faced considerable scrutiny over her party's controversial policies and their implications for freedom of speech and public discourse in Italy.
