Mayor of Florence Sues Wikipedia

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the vote-quimby dept.

ZioBit writes "Florence Mayor Leonardo Domenici and one of the city assessors are suing (Google translation) Wikipedia on the basis of a (possible) defamation regarding the handling of public parkings assignation to a private company, "Florence Parking". The apparent problem is that both of their wives are members of the board of directors of "Florence Parking", and Wikipedia is reporting it."

    * Domenici also recently launched a widely castigated suit against Wikipedia Foundation.

    Nice work on drawing attention to the original problems also...it's always amusing how much political types don't get it.
