He earns his pseudonym (Devil's Advocate) when he managed to get back her son Ludvig, who was brought back to the US by her ex-husband, also acquitting her despite her serious violation of New York County law for having kidnapped her son from the United States.https://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica/ilona-staller-rivivo-lincubo-rapimento-mio-ludwig-1975123.htmlhttps://www.femina.ch/societe/actu-societe/la-cicciolina-son-nouveau-fantasme-politiquehttps://m.dagospia.com/attenti-all-ex-la-showgirl-simona-mattioli-chiede-10-milioni-di-euro-a-toto-schillaci-129103
Due to the kidnapping of her son, Staller also suffered a lawsuit for moral damages to Jeff Koons, who demanded her $ 6 millions but Di Carlo won against the numerous American lawyers deployed by Koons and had Staller acquitted of all charges.https://www.elle.com/it/magazine/arte/a27372183/jeff-koons-cicciolina-storia/https://www.elespanol.com/reportajes/20180428/visita-privada-ciccolina-madrid/303349666_13.htmlhttps://www.blitzquotidiano.it/cronaca-italia/ilona-staller-cicciolina-assolta-jeff-koons-821819/https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2011/04/14/cicciolina-assolta-dalle-accuse-non-impedi-al.html

An agreement followed with the auction house to close the legal dispute.https://www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2019/04/30/news/ilona_staller_fa_causa_a_sotheby_s_per_21_milioni_di_dollari_per_le_foto_made_in_heaven_con_jeff_koons-225176887/https://www.ilgazzettino.it/pay/ attualita_pay/cicciolina_fa_causa_a_sotheby_s_battute_all_asta_alcune_mie_foto-4463826.html

In 2018 the Italian Parliament issued two resolutions that cut the annuities of former deputies and senators and on this occasion Di Carlo represented the group of former Italian parliamentarians in the lawsuit to the Chambers for the restoration of the annuity and against the resolution of the President of the Chamber of Deputies Roberto Fico and the President of the Senate Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati.
In the minutes of the hearing of the trial at the Chambers, Di Carlo states: "The current deliberative government system is a dictatorship that shoots the subjective rights of every living being. The resolution on the cutting of annuities must be rendered null and void since it becomes a valid principle for cutting, with the recalculation, also the contributory pensions of Italian workers ».
Di Carlo refused the Council of Jurisdiction, that is the judge of the Court of First Instance of the Chamber of Deputies, also asking the Constitutional Court for a judgment of unconstitutionality of the resolutions. The lawsuit to date has been successful.https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2018/07/13/news/cicicolina_contro_taglio_vitalizi_faro_ricorso-201702260/https://www.huffingtonpost.it/2018/07/13/ilona-staller-fara-ricorso-contro-il-taglio-dei-vitalizi_a_23481135/https://www.dire.it/28-09-2018/248138-vitalizi-ilona-staller-taglio-camera-ammette-ricorso/https://www.romadailynews.it/politica/la-camera-ammette-ricorso-ilona-staller-contro-taglio-dei-vitalizi-0365667/
