No, it concerns a landing a bit further out than that, where an airport refused a landing for a refuel *only* because they did not receive PPR for Customs.
More than 10 years ago I met a US pilot who wanted to hire an aircraft to go to Greece. He didn't care much about the type of aircraft, as long as it had enough range so that he didn't have to stop in Italy to refuel.
Whether you were in the right, or in the wrong (and just at the mercy of an unhelpful ATS/airport) doesn't actually change the fact that you're never going to put your wheels down in Italy again, does it?
