Are you willing to foot the legal bills?  I have seen the emails to
OTRS from di Stefano.  He is a lawyer.  A wealthy lawyer who is
prepared to defend people like Milosevic and Noye.

The fundamental problem, as has been detailed previously on the talk
page, is that these papers are repeating a rumour which is not
objectively provable.  Di Stefano considers the rumour defamatory
(which it is) and points out that if it were true he would not be
allowed to practice law in England.
