Offensive posts against the swimmer Cerruti: even a Sardinian among the 12 reported

The perpetrators of the internet defamation of Linda Cerruti, the synchronized swimming champion, have been identified and reported. There are 12 network users, including a 30-year-old resident in Sardinia, a 50-year-old employee from Rome, a worker from Veneto, two pensioners residing in Lombardy, a 40-year-old public employee, resident in Friuli Venezia Giulia. According to the allegations, they would have written the most shared defamatory comments .

In August last year, the champion had returned from the European synchronized swimming where she had won 8 medals. For the celebrations, he had published a photo on social media in which he appeared in costume in a classic pose of the competitive discipline . The shot, taken on the pier of Novi (Savona), his hometown, had been taken up by many newspapers and there had been numerous comments, some clearly sexist. Cerruti, very embittered, had turned to the Cybernetic Security Operations Section of the Savona Postal Police.

During the investigation, six internet users were subjected to a computer search, while the others were summoned to the Operational Centers of their city and will have to answer for the crime of aggravated defamation.
