Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is seeking damages of $108,200 in a civil trial after pornographic deepfake videos of her were uploaded online. Meloni has been called to testify in a Sardinian court on July 2 in the civil case she is lodging against two men, who are alleged to have superimposed her face on adult film stars’ bodies and posted the videos on a US-based porn site in 2020. The men, a 40-year-old and his 73-year-old father, have not been publicly named.
At the time the videos were posted, Meloni, 47, was campaigning to be prime minister as head of her Brothers of Italy party. She became prime minister in 2022 in a landslide victory. The images were online for several months and viewed by several million people, according to the criminal complaint. Some of the images are still circulating online.
