If the books are imported into Germany, perhaps stores in the UK will import them as well.

They are imported ... and sold via online book sellers or in bookshops (which order them from their wholesale dealers) from April 30 onwards.

Mignini seems to think he is going to get courts across Europe to ban and seize all copies of Amanda's book on European soil. I make no predictions regarding his success.

First time I think I've ever seen a picture of her happy.
(BTW, the audio version of her book is narrated by Amanda herself.)

Any Europeans seeking to buy Amanda's book will likely need to purchase it from the American version of Amazon (or a similar US site).

... or wait until May when it's sold here, if she/he really wants to get it. (It will take some time to get it shipped from USA, too.)

Both. The German version a kindle/eBook as well.

Amanda Knox: murdering bitch.

“CONCORSO IN OMICIDIO” – C’è da ricordare che, con rito abbreviato, Rudy Guede fu condannato a 16 anni per “concorso in omicidio”. Dopo l’assoluzione di Amanda e Raffaele in Appello, restava in sospeso proprio il concorso: con chi Rudy Guede ha ucciso Meredith? Ecco uno dei motivi per cui la Cassazione ha annullato la sentenza d’Appello a carico della Knox e di Sollecito. E ha imposto il ritorno in tribunale dei due ragazzi.

"COMPETITION IN murder" – it must be borne in mind that, with the abbreviated rite, Rudy Guede was sentenced to 16 years for "homicide" contest. After the acquittal of Amanda and Raffaele, appeals pending remained just the contest: with whom Rudy Guede killed Meredith? Here's one of the reasons why the Supreme Court overturned the appellate ruling against Knox and Sollecito. And imposed a return to Court of the two boys.

"COMPETITION IN MURDER" - It must be remembered that, on summary judgment, Rudy Guede was sentenced to 16 years for "conspiracy to commit murder." After the acquittal of Amanda and Raffaele on appeal, it remained dormant own the competition: who Rudy Guede killed Meredith? Here's one of the reasons why the Supreme Court of Appeal set aside the judgment against Knox and Sollecito. It has forced the return to court of the two boys.

IL PROCURATORE - Nella sua requisitoria, il procuratore generale della Cassazione Luigi Riello aveva duramente criticato i giudici d’appello: “In questo processo il giudice di merito ha smarrito la bussola”, ha detto Riello. “Ci sono tutti i presupposti perché non cali il sipario su un delitto sconvolgente di cui per ora resta come unico condannato Rudy Guede”. E il sipario, in effetti, ora sarà rialzato.

The PROSECUTOR – in his indictment, the Attorney General of the Court of Cassation Luigi Riello had heavily criticized appellate judges: "In this process, the trial court has lost the compass", said Riello. "There are all conditions why not drop the curtain on a shocking crime which for now remains as the only sentenced Rudy Guede". And the curtain, in effect, will now be raised.

In other words, this is just a show trial being put on by a third-world legal system. (Yes, we already knew that, but since it has been made so clear once again, I thought I'd make a note of it.)

After the European Court of Human Rights officially overturns all the charges and hands the Italian treasury over to him and Amanda, then he can safely return home. Until then though, I'd feel better if he stayed here where it is safe.

As said before: you have no idea about how different legal systems to common law work.

The European Court of Human Rights can't overturn any criminal judgement in any member state - it's not a "supreme court'!

So what do they do when a country like Italy commits grave violations of people's human rights?

Seems like they do something of some sort.

Are you saying that the appeals court, if it is ordered to "find the conspirators" while it is retrying Amanda and Raffaele, will have the authority and resources to conduct a search for conspirators other than Amanda and Raffaele?

That's regulated by the Rules of Court. And the court does nothing before the case is registered.

That's your opinion.

That doesn't really answer my question as to what they do when a country like Italy commits grave violations of someone's human rights.

No.
