A Milan judge on Monday admitted the
Coordination of Islamic Associations in Milan and Monza (CAIM)
group as a civil plaintiff in the trial against Marco Belpietro,
who wrote a front-page news story in November 2015 titled
"Islamic bastards" when he was editor of Italian newspaper
Libero.
The story was in response to the terrorist attacks in Paris.
In the public prosecutor's indictment Belpietro is accused of
having "publicly injured the Islam religion through contempt
towards those who profess it".
The next hearing will be held June 5.
