According to the indictment, the movies were seen "millions of times" for several months after being posted on a pornographic website in the United States.
The police claim that by following the smartphone used to submit the videos, they were able to find them. The disputed deepfake video was made in 2022 before she was named the country's Prime Minister.

The Italian PM's legal team stated that the damages claim was "symbolic". Additionally, they stated that Ms. Meloni would give the full sum to "support women who have been victims of male violence."

A deepfake is a kind of synthetic media that mimics real-world information by manipulating or creating visual and auditory elements through artificial intelligence, frequently with malevolent intent.
According to MIT, the term "deepfake" first surfaced in late 2017 when a Reddit user using by the same name created a platform for distributing pornographic videos created using open-source face-swapping technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in deepfake to produce images or videos that seem to be real-world events. It creates photos or films of fictitious events using deep learning, a type of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence advances have made deepfakes increasingly realistic and widespread.
