In December 2025, a preliminary hearing judge in Milan ruled on a case involving Leonardo Apache La Russa, son of Italian Senate President Ignazio La Russa, concerning the alleged unlawful dissemination of intimate images without consent. The judge deemed a €25,000 compensation offer made by La Russa to the young woman who had filed the complaint to be adequate under Italian law and declared the offence extinguished as a result. A prior allegation of [[sexual assault]] related to the same events had already been dismissed during the investigation phase. The decision took into account a written statement from La Russa expressing regret over the incident and his willingness to meet the complainant. The woman, however, rejected the compensation and announced her intention to appeal the ruling on the adequacy of the sum.{{Cite web |title=Figlio La Russa, Leonardo: reato revenge porn estinto |url=https://tg24.sky.it/cronaca/2025/12/17/figlio-la-russa-leonardo-reato-revenge-porn-estinto |website=Sky TG24 |date=17 December 2025 |language=it}}

La Russa was criticized, a few days before 25 April 2026 ([[Liberation Day (Italy)|Liberation Day]]), for his statement about the fact in the past he had gone to pay tribute both to the partisans who died during the Second World War and to the soldiers of the Italian Social Republic, and that he would do it again.{{Cite web |date=2026-04-21 |title=La Russa sul 25 aprile: 'Commemorare anche i caduti di Salò' - Notizie - Ansa.it |url=https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2026/04/21/la-russa-sul-25-aprile-commemorare-anche-i-caduti-di-salo_6130a415-33c4-47a5-931f-50ad14404a2f.html |access-date=2026-04-22 |website=Agenzia ANSA |language=it}}{{Cite web |date=2026-04-21 |title=La Russa: "Rifarei omaggio a partigiani e caduti di Salò" a pochi giorni dal 25 aprile |url=https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/04/21/25-aprile-rifarei-omaggio-ai-partigiani-e-ai-caduti-di-salo-lequiparazione-del-presidente-del-senato-la-russa/8362164/ |access-date=2026-04-22 |website=Il Fatto Quotidiano |language=it-IT}}
