Mario Giordano

In December 2008, Giordano, as director of Il Giornale, was found to have "violated the regulation on the obligation of rectification, even without rectifying, even in the absence of a specific request, the information that after their dissemination has proved to be inaccurate or incorrect, especially when the error could damage individual persons, associations or communities.

"[8] In March 2015, Giordano was sued by the entrepreneur Massimo Ferrero for mentioning the latter in the book titled Pescecani with regard to the bankruptcy fraud of Livingston Energy Flight company.

[9] In May 2016, Giordano and his colleague Maurizio Belpietro spread racial hatred against the Romani people with "xenophobe and racist intent".

[10] In 2020, Giordano and his colleague Vittorio Feltri spred racial hatred against southerner Italians, with "xenophobe and racist intent".

[11][12] That same year, Giordano was sued by the Naples City Council for racism and racial hate speech.
