A 40-year-old man in the province of Naples was cited by police Wednesday for posting offensive messages on social media about late European Parliament president David Sassoli who died last week at the age of 65.
Sassaoli, a member of the centre-left Democratic Party, has been the target of online hate including false claims that he died of the COVID vaccine.
The man has been cited in the past for not obeying COVID restrictions, postal police said.
