Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the circulation of doctored images of her and other women on a pornographic website, describing herself as “disgusted” and demanding the perpetrators be “punished with the utmost firmness.”

The site, Phica, which reportedly had more than 700,000 subscribers, featured altered and cropped images of Giorgia Meloni, her sister Arianna and opposition leader Elly Schlein, accompanied by vulgar captions. The photos were taken from social media or public sources without consent and manipulated to depict the women in sexualised ways. After the scandal broke this week, Phica’s operators shut the platform, claiming users had “used it incorrectly.”

“I am disgusted by what has happened,” Giorgia Meloni said, adding, “I want to extend my solidarity and support to all the women who have been offended, insulted and violated. It is disheartening to note that in 2025, there are still those who consider it normal and legitimate to trample on a woman’s dignity and target her with sexist and vulgar insults, hiding behind anonymity or a keyboard.”

Police launched an investigation after receiving official complaints from several women, including members of the centre-left Democratic Party. Doctored images of high-profile women appeared in the site’s “VIP section.”

Giorgia Meloni urged swift justice, warning that even ordinary online content could be weaponised. She said, “Content that is considered harmless can, in the wrong hands, become a terrible weapon. And we must all be aware of this.”

The case has prompted dozens of women to file complaints against Phica and similar platforms. This comes shortly after Meta shut down an Italian Facebook group, Mia Moglie (“My Wife”), where men exchanged intimate photos of women without consent.
