Fraud is not much worse than tax evasion. Now, if Jones had said "murder" that would be libelous. However, the conviction was thrown out by the courts. Rossi is no longer guilty of anything, any more than I am. If Jones is aware of that fact then I guess his statements are somewhat libelous, or at least uncalled for. People who have experience doing business in Italy tell me that unfair convictions, government corruption, and interference by the Mafia are common. It sounds like doing business in the U.S. in the late 19th century. - Jed
