“After 20 years of suffering, tears and bitterness I have finally obtained justice: I have won! Now I am waiting for an adequate role to be recognized for me, as it should be. I sincerely thank my lawyer, the lawyer Dell’Aiuto who perhaps more than everyone believed in me and my family especially my son who suffered silently from my desperation. Justice is slow, but it exists. Special thanks go to the President of the Republic for his constant commitment to guaranteeing the rights of all citizens”. Alessandra Canale wrote it on Instagram, announcing that she had won the case against Rai, which was brought to trial by the presenter for demotion and damage to her image.
It was September 2003 when, at the end of what would have been her last announcement in prime time on Rai2, Alessandra Canale was moved, letting viewers understand that they wouldn’t see her for some time. The first ruling in favor of the announcer came in 2010 when the Supreme Court of Cassation forced Rai to give her back her role. An obligation which, however, was not respected by the company. So the legal battle continued: the judges decided to reject the appeal requested by Rai against the appeal sentence which was pronounced in 2022 and in which it was defined as illegitimate the fact that they had given a different assignment to the current presenter of Green Wave And Evening weather.
The announcer has only now obtained a definitive sentence: the Court of Cassation has established that Rai will have to compensate the presenter 45 thousand euros for having caused damage to her image for seven years, from 2006 to 2013. In this period, according to justice, Canale was forced into forced inactivity. Rai will also have to pay compensation of 8 thousand and 830 euros for having caused her biological damage.
