Italian philosopher and left-wing
politician Gianni Vattimo was acquitted by a Turin court on
Wednesday in a relation to a jail visit to 'No TAV' activists
who are against work for the Turin-Lyon high-speed rail line in
the Valle di Susa.
When visiting activists in 2013 when he was an MEP, Vattimo
took with him two other No TAV activists.
Prosecutors had requested Vattimo be handed a 10-month jail
term for deception.
