Request for consultation on the immunity and privileges of Alessandra Mussolini

2006/2301(IMM)

The European Parliament adopted the report by Klaus-Heiner LEHNE (EPP-DE, DE) on the request for consultation on the immunity and privileges of Alessandra MUSSOLINI (ITS, IT). The Parliament considers that parliamentary immunity within the meaning of Articles 9 and 10 of the Protocol of 8 April 1965 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities and, insofar as it is applicable, Article 68 of the Italian Constitution fully covers the statements made by Alessandra Mussolini about Giuseppe Pisanu, for which the latter brought civil proceedings against her before the District Court of Rome with a view to obtaining damages for defamation, and therefore decides to defend her immunity and privileges.
