Mr Borghezio claimed that, by spraying the word “disgrace” on the pavement outside the Palace of Justice, he was expressing an opinion linked to his office as a Member of the European Parliament.
M. Borghezio uzsvēra to, ka, uzrakstot vārdu „kauns” uz gājēju ietves iepretim tiesas ēkai, viņš ir paudis savu viedokli, kas ir saistīts ar viņa ka Eiropas Parlamenta deputāta amatu.
