The case took seven years to get through the Italian justice system and on May 19, 2023, Judge Cecilia Pratesi ordered Fratelli d’Italia to pay Nelson and Barone 10,000 Euros each. Pratesi dismissed Foster’s case altogether and ordered her to cover the political party’s legal cost of 3,809 Euros , as well as court administration fees.
“So, here is my small business, now hanging on by a thread because a photo of mine was taken and used without my permission and now I have to pay for it,” Foster said.Nelson and Barone said they are very happy and shocked with the result of their case and have been interviewed by a few members of the Italian media. They haven’t received any of the money and have been told by their lawyers that the Fratelli d’Italia will likely appeal the decision.
