In what can be considered an omen of the times, an Italian court has ruled that stealing food is not a criminal act if a person would go hungry otherwise.
The landmark decision involved the overturning of a theft conviction against a homeless man of Ukrainian descent, who stole $4.50 worth of cheese and sausages from an Italian supermarket.
The court ruled that the man stole the food “in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment,” and that therefore the act could not be considered a crime.
In 2011, Roman Ostriakov was arrested after stuffing two pieces of cheese and a packet of sausages in his pocket, and attempting to leave a Genoa supermarket after paying only for some breadsticks.
Ostriakov was convicted of theft and given a six-month jail sentence and a 100 Euro fine.
