Dear valued reader, The Italian insider Chief Editor John Phillips will appear in the Rome Tribunal on Jan. 14, 2019. on charges of 'tarnishing the image' of the Rome-based UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and four of its executives through a press campaign of articles exposing nepotism and corruption at the UN agency. We face legal and legal translation costs of thousands of euros that threaten to drive the newspaper out of business.  

 We are appealing to readers and friends to become Bronze, Silver or Gold Supporters of the paper for 80, 125, or 175 euros, (on the model of for instance the sostenitori sociali who support Italian newspapers such as il Fatto Quotidiano),  to enable us to stay in business and cover issues such as corruption at the UN agencies, the lettori scandal and other stories that no other publication covers.

Existing subscribers can upgrade their subscription by paying the difference. ... all gold subscribers will be invited if they wish for a complimentary lunch at the Foreign press club in rome, silver subscribers for an aperitivo etc. all supporters will receive a print and online subscription.

Details of the court case against John Phillips, under which he may receive a prison sentence. Four out of five plaintiffs are seeking civil damages. FAO chef de cabinet Mario Lubetkin has demanded not less than 100,000 euros. https://www.italianinsider.it/?q=node/6234
