Defamation and substitution of person: with these accusations a soldier was sent to trial in Cagliari in relation to an affair on a commendation of service. The award was actually awarded to an army soldier but the spread message was combined with the photo of a namesake in underwear, so as to lead several people to believe that the soldier was the person who appeared in the image. Then, on hundreds of smartphones, the shot had circulated, including that of the victim and his acquaintances. You then filed a complaint at the beginning of 2021 and, under the coordination of the Cagliari Public Prosecutor's Office, the staff of the Criminal Police Section of the Local Police, with the investigative technical support of the District IT Laboratory of the Prosecutor's Office, were able to attribute, also through the computer traces, an identity to the man who had spread the photo online, identifying the alleged perpetrator of the facts in a fellow soldier.
The investigative documents were sent to the military authority for the evaluation of any profiles of specific competence.
