Well, landing in court is, for a politician, quite an easy to accomplish achievement here in Italy. Getting a complete absolution is another matter, and as far as i can see Tosi did get one. Most of the accusations of racist behaviour against him, at least here in Italy, came from one of his old catchphrase which was “Go’ El Leun che Magna il Terun”, which in Venetian dialect means “i have the Lion which eats the southerners”.

Please note that pig-based food is a strong tradition here in Italy.
