(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 18 - Al Bano on Monday said he might sue
Ukraine at the European Court of Human Rights after it put him
on its black list of threats to national security for allegedly
supporting Russia. The veteran singer also urged the foreign
minister to intervene to obtain his immediate cancellation from
the black list. Albano Carrisi also said he would ask for
damages from Ukraine, the proceeds of which would be devolved to
charity. "We won't stop. We'll go as far as Strasbourg because
this could be a dangerous precedent," said the singer's lawyer,
Cristiano Magaletti. "Al Bano is a citizen of the world and a
friend of all, he must be free to go to Ukraine; we ask our
government to intervene immediately because they have unjustly
attacked the symbol of Italian music. Magaletti urged the media
not to "treat this affair with superficiality and levity; it
must be debated with the anger of a man who has been subjected
to a huge injustice". (ANSA).
