Case records for English-language readers

Each record identifies a particular interpretive task. The twelve fields follow the common methodology; the English explanations are composed for this appendix. Exact source wording is available at the stated locations. No favourable classification, court name or word in this appendix is exempt from the boundary between a written form and what it names.

Dmitriyevskiy v Russia

Field	Record
1 Corpus	ECHR 42168/06, 3 October 2017; English judgment S01.
2 Inscription	Publication passages at §§7–9; the selected phrase and expert account at §21.
3 Transformation	The source reproduces Russian material in English. Original Russian issues and the full expert report were not obtained.
4 Reading	Place §21 beside §§105, 108 and 113–114.
5 Attribution	The condition of continuing events and the author undertaking to cause them are distinct attributions in the selected reproduction; authors’ intentions are not automatically transferred to the editor.
6 Support	Section21 connects the condition with an electoral demand; §7 supports the warning interpretation compared in §105. The supplied wording insufficiently supports a personal promise. The full expert report was not separately obtained.
7 Criterion	The judgment reviews the national classification under Article 10.
8 Objection	Retain the second publication and its conflict setting; examine the proposed attribution rather than selecting only a convenient line.
9 Comparison	The first article has been compared within its electoral context; the second article’s harshness remains separate adverse material. The editor’s and authors’ intentions are not merged.
10 Local finding	Local finding: electoral context supports a warning; a promise of violence adds an undertaking the wording does not specify. Possible pressure remains, but does not itself supply that attribution. This challenges the identified transition within the declared record, rather than establishing absence of every ground across the case.
11 Disposition	Two years suspended with four years’ probation: §38. The ECtHR found an Article10 violation: §118. Imprisonment served and a directly established domestic annulment are not claimed.
12 Revision	Russian originals could alter the lexical comparison. Any such change must be traced through the article and the brief.

Stomakhin v Russia

Field	Record
1 Corpus	ECHR 52273/07, 9 May 2018; complete English judgment reproduction S03.
2 Inscription	§§8–35 reproduce publications; §14 is a selected test passage.
3 Transformation	The judicial English reproduction is not the Russian newsletter.
4 Reading	The majority includes §14 in the first group (§§98–100); Keller §12 disputes the connection between these titles and justification of violence. The positions have been compared, not merged.
5 Attribution	The examined inclusion places the titles and geographical designations in § 14 within the first group (§§ 98–99), retaining direct advocacy of violence elsewhere.
6 Support	The group description does not articulate the individual connection for §14. Direct advocacy in §11 and the context in §§99–109 remain, without automatic transfer to every neighbouring designation.
7 Criterion	The judgment distinguishes permissible restrictions and proportionality of the penalty.
8 Objection	Surrounding direct violent advocacy can change the function of the titles. This strong argument requires a specified connection; Keller §12 is not presented as the majority position or as exonerating the collection.
9 Comparison	The comparison of §14, §§98–100 and Keller §12 closes locally: insufficient support for one inclusion is distinguished from grounds concerning other passages and from the sanction (§§124–134).
10 Local finding	For § 14, the group characterisation leaves the particular link from these titles to justification of violence unexplained; Keller § 12 raises the same objection. Adverse passages may change context, but their presence requires an articulated connection rather than automatic transfer of classification. This finding does not exonerate the whole publication; sanction remains separate.
11 Disposition	Five years served; a concurrent three-year journalism ban was also imposed: §§62,65,128–129. Restriction accepted for some groups: §124; penalty disproportionate and Article 10 violation: §§132–134.
12 Revision	The analysis closes on the inclusion of § 14. A supported connection between that passage and advocacy of violence could alter it; the publications as a whole are not declared harmless.

Counterman v Colorado and People v Counterman

Field	Record
1 Corpus	US Supreme Court, 27 June 2023 S04; Colorado Court of Appeals, 13 June 2024 S05. The US majority opinion was re-read from the court-host PDF; the Colorado opinion remains a reproduction.
2 Inscription	Messages and the course of contact are described in majority Part I.
3 Transformation	Original Facebook records are outside this package; the judicial account supplies the studied material.
4 Reading	Examine majority Parts II–III and the subsequent Colorado disposition.
5 Attribution	Message character and awareness of the risk of that understanding are distinct. The recipient’s response may support a connection but cannot substitute for the subjective element.
6 Support	The series supports an objective reading; the 2024 opinion, §12, also acknowledges strong circumstantial evidence of recklessness. Defence exclusion and the incorrect instruction prevent treating the defect as harmless. This does not establish that the sender lacked awareness; physical surveillance is not independently confirmed.
7 Criterion	Subjective recklessness suffices under the Supreme Court holding; intent to carry out violence is a different question.
8 Objection	A benign isolated reading cannot replace the described series. Recipient reaction and sender awareness are nevertheless distinct propositions.
9 Comparison	The series, blocking and recipient’s reaction remain in the comparison. The earlier and corrected criteria have been compared; the threats standard is not transferred to every offence.
10 Local finding	Local finding: objective interpretation and a strong circumstantial awareness argument have support, but the subjective element lacked proper consideration. The new trial was ordered to address that defect; the order does not establish that the messages were harmless. The study rejects imprisonment even with justified classification; recipient protection needs its own response, and equivalent alternative effectiveness is unproved.
11 Disposition	The original sentence was four-and-a-half years: the 2024 opinion, §1. Actual time served is unestablished. 2023: vacated and remanded. 2024, §§17–18: reversal and new trial. Final acquittal and the later new-trial outcome are not claimed.
12 Revision	Later proceedings could change the procedural entry. Neither remand is labelled final acquittal.

Brandenburg v Ohio

Field	Record
1 Corpus	395 US 444, 9 June 1969; complete US Reports scan hosted by the Library of Congress, including separate concurrences. Earlier work used FIRE’s reproduction.
2 Inscription	Speech and filmed rally described at US Reports pp. 444–446.
3 Transformation	The original film and exhibits are not included as retrieved objects.
4 Reading	Compare the offence with the opinion’s distinction at pp. 447–449.
5 Attribution	Support for an adverse interpretation of the gathering does not separately supply direction, imminence and likelihood of the required lawless action.
6 Support	Armed-rally and racist-content context remains. The statutory and instructional defect has been compared with the criterion’s conditions; no independent review of the unavailable films is claimed.
7 Criterion	Direction, imminence and likelihood are separate conditions in the incitement test.
8 Objection	Offensive content alone cannot substitute for the stated conditions; a favourable description cannot erase the setting.
9 Comparison	Comparison closes at the defect in the operative statute, indictment and instructions. Separate concurrences are not substituted for the majority; the entire gathering is not declared harmless.
10 Local finding	Local finding: conviction relied on a transition not requiring every condition of the criterion; the opinion supports this structural defect. Adverse content does not cure it, and reversal does not certify every message harmless. Organising action through expression remains a serious counterargument to the public proposal.
11 Disposition	Conviction reversed. A $1,000 fine and one-to-ten-year sentence had been imposed; actual execution is not recorded in this package.
12 Revision	New material may change the local assessment of a condition, without enlarging the historical holding.

Chambers v DPP

Field	Record
1 Corpus	[2012] EWHC 2157 (Admin), 27 July 2012; complete approved judgment S07.
2 Inscription	The reproduced tweet at §12 must be read with §§11–16.
3 Transformation	A short quotation is not the complete message. The English source is retained at the locator.
4 Reading	Lower-court reading at §§17–18; appellate reasoning at §§30–38.
5 Attribution	Explosion wording, public availability and menacing character are distinct; classification requires a connection with the message’s circumstances.
6 Support	In the supplied record, addressing, sequence and reactions support exaggeration more strongly than menacing character. Procedural referral is not substituted for apprehension; this is a combined comparison, not a defence supplied by the term joke.
7 Criterion	Historical s127(1)(a): §§30–34 supply the ground of reversal. The mental element is considered additionally in §§35–38; §35 states that the result does not depend on it.
8 Objection	Do not let either the alarming fragment or a joke label settle the comparison.
9 Comparison	The same tweet has been compared with its circumstances. Nonurgent handling is used within the combined explanation, rather than as universal proof of absent threats.
10 Local finding	Local finding: the supplied circumstances do not support classifying this message as menacing. Public availability and literal wording remain adverse material. The result does not independently determine the author’s mental state or transfer to grossly-offensive classification or every airport utterance.
11 Disposition	Conviction overturned at §34. The selected PDF supplies neither the amount of the original fine nor a prison term actually served.
12 Revision	Different context or reasoning could alter the comparison; later legislation is not applied retrospectively.

Cobban and Borders v DPP

Field	Record
1 Corpus	[2024] EWHC 1908 (Admin), 26 July 2024; complete approved judgment S08.
2 Inscription	WhatsApp material reproduced at §§10–14.
3 Transformation	Judicial extracts are the studied layer; original device files were not obtained.
4 Reading	Classification: §§49–73; the court makes its own proportionality assessment after identifying an error below (§§101–110); sentence: §§113–128.
5 Attribution	Content, awareness of character and professional role provide different support. The message is not identified with a specific discriminatory exercise of police power.
6 Support	Classification has support; audience privacy does not remove awareness of character. The police role supports a public response. Custody reasons are acknowledged as offered arguments; equivalent deterrence by the proposed alternative is not established.
7 Criterion	Objective gross offensiveness does not require an actually offended recipient; the other elements remain separately examinable.
8 Objection	The private group context is relevant without functioning as an automatic defence.
9 Comparison	The completed comparison accepts classification support in this professional context and separately disputes the custodial choice. This result is not generalised to all private correspondents.
10 Local finding	Local finding: classification is supported; the package prefers public and professional accountability to imprisonment. The judicial argument concerning normalisation of police prejudice and deterrence is taken seriously. Record nonidentity does not refute it; equivalent alternative effectiveness is unproved. This is a bounded normative dispute, not a claim of absent judicial grounds.
11 Disposition	Appeals dismissed and sentence review refused. Twelve weeks’ immediate custody each; bail pending appeal (§8). Actual time served not established.
12 Revision	Execution records could change that entry. A challenge to classification and an argument against prison must identify their different targets.

Wunsiedel

Field	Record
1 Corpus	BVerfG 1 BvR 2150/08, 4 November 2009; complete German reproduction S09.
2 Inscription	Title and assembly material at German Rn7 and 108–110.
3 Transformation	Use German paragraph numbers; the official English extract has different numbering.
4 Reading	Examine the progression from commemoration to regime approval and the preventive public-peace account.
5 Attribution	Contextual attribution from Hess commemoration to regime commemoration and the presumption of future public-peace disturbance have different support statuses.
6 Support	The public commemoration’s symbolic role supports the person-to-regime transition; praise of any biographical aspect is not automatically sufficient. The next link is assessed as a limited presumption, not an observed future event.
7 Criterion	§15(1) VersG with §130(4) StGB; specific historical constitutional reasoning at Rn64–66.
8 Objection	Retain that rationale and the limits concerning ideological unease and ambiguity at Rn67, 77, 104.
9 Comparison	Contextual attribution and prediction have been separately compared with the opinion’s limits. The comparison closes on an assembly ban; the statutory maximum is not made into a personal sentence.
10 Local finding	Local finding: context supports interpreting public commemoration as approval of the regime. Predicted public-peace disturbance is supported by the operative rebuttable presumption, not observation of future violence. Adverse ritual context remains. This closes comparison of an assembly ban in Germany’s national system, not a case in which imprisonment was imposed.
11 Disposition	Constitutional complaint dismissed; assembly prohibition upheld. This decision imposed no prison sentence on the applicant.
12 Revision	An alternative reading supported by the assembly material may change the local comparison.

Eon v France

Field	Record
1 Corpus	ECHR 26118/10, 14 March 2013; complete French judgment S10.
2 Inscription	Sign at §6, earlier presidential phrase at §7.
3 Transformation	The French original wording remains at the locator; domestic reasons are reproduced within the regional judgment.
4 Reading	Compare domestic intention reasoning (§§9,11) with political and satirical context (§§57–60).
5 Attribution	Deliberate offence and political ridicule are compatible; support for the former does not exhaust scrutiny of punishment’s justification.
6 Support	Comparison is complete: the political satirical context has support, while literal offensiveness remains. The term satire alone does not cancel attributed intention.
7 Criterion	Historical domestic offence and Article 10 review remain different levels.
8 Objection	The literally offensive character (§53) is retained alongside the favourable account.
9 Comparison	Domestic intention attribution has been compared with international interference review. These are not mutually exclusive characterisations, and the ECtHR is not described as a domestic appellate court.
10 Local finding	Local finding: intent to offend and supported political use can coincide; the former does not certify sufficient justification for punishment. Satire supplies no immunity. The finding concerns this interference at the material reproduced in the international judgment; a modest suspended fine does not prove a worldwide rejection of imprisonment.
11 Disposition	€30 suspended fine (§9); Article 10 violation (§62 and disposition). No prison term served is asserted.
12 Revision	A national remedy requires its own act. Further material about intention could alter the local comparison.

Shreya Singhal v Union of India

Field	Case card
1 Record	Supreme Court of India, 24 March 2015, WP(Crl)167/2012; complete judgment reproduction S16.
2 Written form	“grossly offensive”: statutory wording reproduced at §1.
3 Transformation	Statutory text, not an invented claimant's post. Other content is paraphrased.
4 Reading	The Court examines vagueness and overbreadth (§§69–90). The selected comparison connects the formula with its reach into protected discussion, rather than relying only on judicial disagreement.
5 Assertion	The examined inference moves from a reader's possible offence to the boundary of a criminal prohibition; a separate inference moves from invalidation to cessation of enforcement.
6 Support	Collins/Chambers (§§79–82) support the comparison, but disagreement alone is insufficient. The breadth of evaluative terms and missing workable boundary supply additional grounds (§§69–90).
7 Criterion	Discussion, advocacy and incitement distinguished: §13.
8 Counterargument	Internet-specific features and serious possible consequences remain state arguments (§§27–28,48–49). They do not supply the missing distinction within this provision.
9 Comparison	The formula has been compared with the required distinction (§§69–90,119). The later PUCL order separately shows the limit of inferring cessation of enforcement from invalidation; complete implementation is not asserted.
10 Local conclusion	Judicial disagreement alone does not establish vagueness. Here the defect also rests on protected discussion falling within s66A and the missing statutory boundary (§§ 69–90). PUCL separates invalidation from execution: the written result did not automatically end enforcement. This finding concerns the selected provision and implementation, not immunity for every communication.
11 Disposition and sanction	§119 invalidated s66A, upheld s69A, upheld s79 subject to a narrowing construction of s79(3)(b). Three years in §1 is a statutory maximum, not this claimant's sentence.
12 Revision	The comparison of the provision and subsequent direction is complete at the judicial-record level. Complete implementation is neither asserted nor required for this local finding.

Judicial text S16

Subsequent PUCL order

S17, signed order, pp. 3–5, directions (a)–(e), records continued s66A prosecutions after 2015. It directs removal of references to that provision from proceedings, instructs police not to register complaints or cases alleging a violation of s66A, and requires publication notices of its invalidity. Other alleged offences remain separately examinable. These are judicial directions, not a report that implementation was completed.

Arup Bhuyan

Field	Record for comparison
1 Corpus	24 March 2023: Shah §§1–18; Karol concurrence §§1–53. Follow-up: 21 September 2023.
2 Written form	Statutory continued-membership wording: Shah §10.3.
3 Transformation	This card examines statutory interpretation, without presenting an accused person's original utterance.
4 Reading	Shah §18 rejects the earlier additional violence or incitement requirement; §§16.1–17.1 argue for conscious continued membership. This is a general criterion, not a new individual finding.
5 Proposition	The examined chain connects the public declaration procedure, attributed awareness and conscious continued membership, then compares that criterion with the individual procedural outcome.
6 Support	Declaration procedure, awareness and continued membership form the Court’s stated chain (Shah §§14.4–14.6,16.1,17.1). Accepting that chain does not supply proof of its application to a particular person.
7 Criterion	UAPA s10(a)(i), not a general speech standard.
8 Counterpoint	The strong preventive objection is that waiting for separate violence may frustrate the ban’s purpose (Karol §§48–50). References to Shreya Singhal (Karol §§8,21,50) remain; this judgment does not overrule it.
9 Comparison	The March criterion has been compared with the September disposition (S19, signed order, §§1–4): acquittal remains, without reversal of the doctrine. This material does not establish a separate communicative episode.
10 Local conclusion	Shah §§ 16.1–17.1 provide an argument about conscious continuation, not merely a repeated membership label. Establishing a general criterion does not prove that Arup satisfied it. September preserves the acquittal. This is a completed comparison of criterion and outcome; it cannot be presented as a new conviction for words.
11 Disposition and sanction	Shah §18: maximum two years plus fine. September §§1–4: acquittal undisturbed; no new sentence.
12 Revision	The selected comparison is complete at the level of the two orders. An additional claim about a particular communicative episode would require another basis; the package makes no such claim.

Judicial text S18

Qwelane

Field	Case card
1 Record	Constitutional Court; CCT13/20; 30 July 2021; civil proceedings S20.
2 Written form	Article reproduced at §3; attribution of the separately added cartoon at §4.
3 Transformation	Judicial reproduction; newspaper original not separately obtained.
4 Reading	The Court connects group degradation and unequal legal standing with the civil harm-and-hatred criterion (§§165–182). Proven causation of a particular attack is not an element of that criterion (§§187–190).
5 Assertion	The examined issue is whether the selected civil criterion requires causation of a particular attack or assesses expressed attitudes and anticipated harm.
6 Support	The reproduced article and reported testimony remain (§§3–4,14–18,177–180). Degradation combined with exclusion supports classification; testimony about an attack does not automatically attribute it to this article.
7 Criterion	Reasonable reader, not actual intention; harm/incitement plus hatred: §§96–112.
8 Counterargument	The strong objection to the defence is that denying equal standing can participate in social exclusion before a physical attack (§§165–182,187–190). The animal comparison and Mugabe reference (§3) are retained.
9 Comparison	A demand for causation of a particular attack has been compared with the applied civil criterion and rejected as substituting a different test (§§182–190). Causation of every attack remains unestablished; there is no prison outcome.
10 Local conclusion	Absence of a link to a particular attack does not defeat the applied civil criterion (§§ 176–190). The degrading group comparison and demand for exclusion from equal protection support the classification; they do not prove every later act of violence. This closes as adverse material for harmlessness claims and as a civil comparator, without a prison outcome.
11 Disposition and sanction	Civil finding upheld; the statutory hurtful element was declared invalid. No imprisonment. Apology/police referral fell away after death; costs awarded: §§191–198, order.
12 Revision	The finding is bounded by the stated civil criterion and judgment record. Obtaining the newspaper original is unnecessary for that comparison; no independent appraisal outside the judicial reproduction is claimed.

Momberg

Field	Case card
1 Record	High Court; A206/2018; 28 June 2019; criminal appeal S21.
2 Written form	Utterances reproduced at §§5–11; original recordings not supplied.
3 Transformation	Recordings and testimony reproduced in the judgment; original audio/video and a complete transcript were not separately obtained.
4 Reading	The appellate crimen injuria reasoning compares intention with automatism (§§19–23); purposeful selection of officers supports rejection of the latter at this record level.
5 Assertion	The examined sequence tests purposeful racial selection against the account of automatism, then treats the choice of custody separately.
6 Support	The judicial account of recordings, testimony and medical opinion remains (§§5–18). Repeated help-seeking and consistent exclusion of particular officers support purposeful direction (§23); the original recordings were not independently heard.
7 Criterion	Unlawful intentional impairment of dignity; proof beyond reasonable doubt: §§2,20.
8 Counterargument	The preceding fright and medical explanation remain alongside repeated racist treatment. Running-over/shooting statements (§§7–11), performance of official duties and lack of remorse (§34) supply a serious objection to removing custody.
9 Comparison	Support for purposeful direction (§23) has been accepted separately from custody reasons (§§24–34). Normative disagreement with imprisonment is not presented as defeating classification; equivalent effectiveness of alternatives is unestablished.
10 Local conclusion	Repeated requests for assistance and consistent exclusion of black officers support direction and choice (§ 23), rather than an inference from one insulting noun. At this record level, automatism does not defeat the classification. The package normatively opposes custody while retaining the serious objection concerning repetition, lack of remorse and officers' protection; equivalent alternatives are unestablished.
11 Disposition and sanction	Three years; one suspended for three, conditional on no conviction for crimen injuria committed during suspension; four counts combined for sentencing. Appeal dismissed: §§1,35. Time served unknown.
12 Revision	Attribution and the sanction dispute are closed at the appellate reasoning level. Neither independent reassessment of the original recordings nor actual time served is claimed.

Kimel v Argentina

Brief source account. Inter-American Court, 2 May 2008, Series C 177. The judgment reproduces criticism of a judicial investigation (§§ 41–42) and records a domestic one-year suspended prison sentence with damages (§§ 45, 49). It finds Articles 13, 8 and 9 violations and orders the State to undo the conviction and its effects and correct imprecise criminal provisions (§§ 123, 128, 140). Paragraph 78 preserves possible criminal liability. The 5 February 2013 compliance resolution recognises full compliance and closes the case; it records the 2011 removal of the national conviction and civil award (S29, considerations 11–13; operative points 1–2).

Field	Independent question for examination
1 Corpus	Complete ES/EN reproductions below; §§ 41–50, 63–95, 123, 128, 140. Appended concurrences remain distinct from the majority.
2 Original form	The Spanish book passage is reproduced in §42. Inspect the entire paragraph before attributing a specific allegation.
3 Transformation	Book → judicial reproduction → present record. The book was not independently obtained. Retain injurias / calumnia rather than supply common-law equivalents; compare both languages, §§ 43–45, and the provisions in §§ 64–65.
4 Reading	Sections 43–44,46–49,89–93 have been compared: context identifies the judge, but an adverse assessment of the investigation does not itself establish a specified criminal imputation.
5 Claim	The examined transition is from criticism of a particular investigation to an attribution of a specified crime, not a claim that no judge was identifiable.
6 Support	The full reproduced §42 and reasons in §§43–49 support reference to the judge. They do not remove the separate disagreement about the imputed crime; institutional authorship does not replace the connecting argument.
7 Criterion	Statutory precision, application and punishment grounds are distinguished (§§63–67,74–80,89–95). Possible criminal liability in §78 remains; proportionality is not substituted for supporting reasons.
8 Counterargument	The strong objection is that insinuation can convey an accusation without naming it directly and can affect reputation. Interrogative wording therefore supplies no immunity; the specified imputation and imprisonment each require reasons.
9 Comparison	Changing domestic readings have been compared with regional review. The no-addressee defence is rejected and the dispute over a specified criminal imputation identified separately (§§42–49,89–93). The truth of the entire book is not asserted.
10 Local conclusion	Context in § 42 supports address to the judge; isolating its general sentence is an inadequate defence. An adverse assessment of the investigation does not itself establish a specified criminal imputation: §§ 43,48–49,89–93 expose that disputed step. This supports the local challenge, not harmlessness of all criticism or immunity for questions.
11 Decision and sanction	One year of suspended imprisonment and a monetary award were imposed; this is not imprisonment served (S22/S23, §§ 45,48–49). The Inter-American Court found violations and directed removal of the consequences (§§ 123,140). The 5 February 2013 compliance resolution records the setting aside of the criminal conviction and civil award on 10 November 2011, finds full compliance and closes the case (S29, considerations 11–13; operative points 1–2).
12 Revision	The local analysis closes on the reproduced paragraph and judicial sequence. Compliance is established at the level of S29 dated 5 February 2013; the national review decision was not independently obtained. The truth of every factual assessment in the book is not established.

Ricardo Canese v Paraguay

Brief source account. Inter-American Court, 31 August 2004, Series C 111. The judgment reproduces campaign statements about a candidate and company and the directors' complaint (§§ 69(7), 69(10)). Domestic courts imposed four, then two months' imprisonment and fines (§§ 69(15), 69(20)); the Supreme Court acquitted on 11 December 2002 (§ 69(49)). Regional review finds Articles 13, 22, 8 and 9 violations (§ 223), not a first acquittal. Paragraphs 95–96 permit restrictions. The Court expressly records that the imposed sanctions were not executed (§69(49); §162); travel restrictions (§106) are treated separately. Supervision closed on 6 August 2008 after Canese waived outstanding default interest, not following payment of that interest (S30, considerations 8–12; DECLARA 1; operative points 1–2).

Field	Independent question for examination
1 Corpus	Complete ES/EN judicial texts below. ES § 69.7 and EN § 69(7) identify the same structural passage. Treat the appended concurrence separately.
2 Original form	Inspect the Spanish reproduction at §69.7 and its English counterpart at §69(7) in full. The newspapers themselves were not independently obtained.
3 Transformation	Interview → newspaper publication → judicial reproduction → this record. Ask what supports each transmission. Preserve difamación / injuria without assuming equivalence to another jurisdiction's offences.
4 Reading	Sections 159–162 have been compared: confirmation, knowledge and political accompaniment support an attribution of intent, followed by a demand that the accused rebut it. The latter move is identified as the decisive defect.
5 Claim	The examined chain moves from confirming publication and the writer's knowledge to an intention to damage reputation, then to a duty to rebut that intention.
6 Support	Sections 159–160 offer confirmation, knowledge and political accompaniment as support. They are not dismissed as irrelevant, but do not replace proof of the required intent; §161 rejects the burden shift.
7 Criterion	§§ 95–108, 153–162, 182–187. Keep restriction of expression, the burden supporting an accusation and application of a more favourable rule distinct.
8 Counterargument	The strong objection is that statements about a candidate and company can affect directors’ reputations; electoral context does not erase that interest (§§100–104). Possible impact nevertheless does not replace proof of intent or reasons for imprisonment.
9 Comparison	Domestic attribution has been compared with regional review (§§159–162). The burden shift is identified without establishing truth or complete harmlessness. Non-execution of the sanctions is distinguished from later compliance with the judgment (S24/S25; S30).
10 Local conclusion	In §§ 159–160, confirmation, knowledge and political accompaniment support an attribution of intent; they are not identical to an intention to defame. The decisive defect is the subsequent requirement that the accused rebut presumed intent (§ 161). This analysis closes on that chain without asserting the publication's complete harmlessness or truth.
11 Decision and sanction	Four months, later two, and fines were imposed (§§ 69(15),69(20)); acquittal followed on 11 December 2002 (§ 69(49)). The judgment expressly records that those sanctions were never executed (§ 69(49);§ 162). Prolonged travel restrictions were a separate measure; Convention violations appear in § 223. The 6 August 2008 resolution recognises compliance and closes the case after Canese waived the outstanding default interest; it does not record payment of that interest (S30, considerations 8–12; DECLARA 1; operative points 1–2).
12 Revision	Non-execution of the sanctions is established at the level of the 2004 judgment; compliance with that judgment is established through S30 dated 6 August 2008, preserving the interest waiver. No separate prison archive is claimed.
