Marco Borsato calls high lawyer fees unavoidable: 'Irreparable damage'

The case revolves around the costs incurred by Marco Borsato's defense in a sexual abuse case, where he was acquitted. The expenses include approximately €389,000 in legal fees over 5.5 years, along with costs for expert investigations and security during court appearances. The defense and the Public Prosecution Service (OM) disagree on which costs are reimbursable under specific legal articles. Borsato's lawyers argue that pre-complaint expenses were necessary due to the seriousness of the allegations, while the OM contends these costs should not be covered. Borsato expressed the significant impact of the case on his life and career, stating he accepts the court's decision regarding cost reimbursement, which will be announced on November 27.
