[3] In February 2007, some members of the New Red Brigades were arrested on a charge of wanting to fire-bomb the Libero editorial offices in Milan.

In 2014, the paper aired in Italy the video, originally published by the Middle East Media Research Institute, of an imam during a Friday sermon in a mosque near Venice, in the Italian region of Veneto, calling for Jews to be killed, which prompted the government to expel him; the decision drew widespread support across the political spectrum and from the local Muslim community.

[5] About the paper in 2007, Oscar Giannino said: "Many of our readers buy Libero and Libero mercato because they find there a voice outside the choir and from the parties, but in favour of a clearly liberal and liberist vision, anti-tax and anti-public waste, wary of any party excess ... as well as wary of the excesses of the judiciary, when then justice and security for ordinary citizens are not guaranteed."

In 2015, following the terrorist attacks in Paris, Libero titled Islamic Bastard[11][non-primary source needed] on its front page, causing outrage among the Italian muslim community.

In 2019, another front page headline that read GDP down, but gays on the rise was again followed by protests and outrage.
