Fedez, city councilman files complaint over Jannik Sinner phrase

On Thursday morning, Bolzano city councilman Giuseppe Martucci filed a formal complaint with the Public Prosecutor’s Office against Federico Lucia, aka Fedez, following a phrase deemed seriously offensive towards South Tyrolean athlete Jannik Sinner.

At the center of the dispute is a passage, within publicly disseminated musical lyrics, which states: “The Italian has a new idol his name is Jannik Sinner. Pure Italian blood with the accent of Adolf Hitler”.

“I felt it my duty to act to protect the founding values of our Constitution. We cannot allow language that evokes racism and hatred to be normalized by public figures” the Fratelli d’Italia exponent made known, as quoted by bznews24.it .
