The video, which included commentary of a racist nature, came to the attention of survivors of the fire. Once that happened a prosecution was nailed on.
Two of the survivors gave evidence at Bussetti's trial.
I'm not saying I agree with the rationale, maybe the other cheek should have been turned, but one can see why it 'had' to be prosecuted.
As noted above the cause of action was not the video itself but the fact of it being posted so Social Media. If the bunch of chumps in Bussetti's WhatsApp groups had kept it to themselves there would have been no action.
