[Dr. Franklin]

Italian law has no force in the US

Actually, it can if U.S. courts recognize that it is binding, or by treaty, etc. So, a contract can call for a U.S. court to apply Italian law to a contract, and it usually will apply it. An Italian court can issue letters rogatory for the deposition of a witness in the U.S. for a case in Italy. We do have an extradition treaty with Italy which enables U.S. courts to issue warrants for those accused of crimes in Italy. A judgment issued by a civil court in Italy can be enforced in the U.S. if a U.S. court agrees it is valid. It's not as clear as you think.

It’s clear enough that a finding of fact by an Italian court is sufficient for those needing proof.

I’m not going to start taking scalps because Alex Jones raises the Cran-tara - or pack it in because a corrupt US court disagrees.

My warpaint goes on if my governor believes the finding of fact and cries havoc.
