Steve Bannon's controversial project to establish a 'gladiator school' in a monastery in Italy has overcome legal hurdles, with an Italian court ruling in favor of Bannon and his associates after 5 years and millions of dollars in defense. The project, formally known as the 'Academy for the Judeo-Christian West,' faced opposition due to its ties to Bannon's political ideologies and alleged procedural issues in obtaining leases for the monastery. However, after a court decision on Thursday, Bannon and Benjamin Harnwell, a former EU Parliament staffer and ally, have been fully acquitted of all accusations, marking a significant victory for Bannon's efforts. The court found that the leases were granted correctly, dismissing claims of politically motivated prosecutions. Bannon celebrated the ruling, seeing it as a win against what he describes as the 'deep state' and a vindication for his and Harnwell's years-long defense.
