Blocked "Avetrana - Qui non è Hollywood", the fiction about the crime of Sarah Scazzi scheduled from October 25 on the Disney+ platform.
This was decided by the judge of the civil section of the Court of Taranto, Antonio Attanasio, accepting the urgent appeal presented by the mayor of Avetrana Antonio Iazzi with a precautionary suspension order for the broadcast of the TV series.
The mayor, through a team of lawyers, asked for "the rectification of the name" of the TV series and its "immediate suspension". The judge set the hearing for the parties to appear for November 5.
The Avetranese community, the mayor said, " has always tried to distance itself from the many prejudices dictated by the murder, since the tragedy caused dismay in the community, affected by a massive media resonance ". The lawyers of the Municipality had requested the suspension of the broadcast of the TV series because in their opinion it was "essential to preview it in order to ascertain whether the association of the name of the town with the film adaptation arouses a defamatory effect, representing it as an ignorant, backward, silent community, possibly dedicated to the commission of brutal crimes of such magnitude, contrary to reality ".
Sarah Scazzi, 15, was killed and thrown into a well on August 26, 2010. Sabrina Misseri and Cosima Serrano, the victim's cousin and aunt, were definitively sentenced to life in prison, while her uncle, Michele Misseri, was released from prison last February after serving 8 years in prison , accused of suppression and concealment of a corpse. Once released, the man gave several television interviews, once again accusing himself of the crime, just like when he was arrested and allowed the body to be found in Contrada Mosca in October 14 years ago.
