In the row with correspondent Giorgio Mottola, Ranucci has revealed a previously unpublished figure regarding Report’s funding: 330,000 euros a year, more than had previously been reported. This new information raises questions about the reliability of the figures that have been circulating and about leaks from Rai. And it is also causing tensions to rise within the editorial team

This morning, the court could award ‘Report’ back to the claimant. In the meantime, he is already spending his days at Rai and has even produced eight investigative reports (and 150 complaints).

From the ‘Report’ model to the ‘Lavitola’ model. The champion of moralism, whose own story has served as a lesson in moralising, teaches us that evidence is one thing, whilst suspicions and theories are quite another. Notes for a set of ten commandments against the culture of media and judicial lynching

“Following the investigations, I would have expected a simple statement from the former presenter of Report: ‘Lavitola is no longer my friend and I am bringing a civil action’,” says the editor-in-chief of the Gazzetta del Sud, who spent many years at RAI and headed up TGR and TG3.

As the presenter leaves the studio in a melodramatic video, it is time to recall anonymous letters regarding harassment, threats and RAI audits that were shelved because there was no one to oversee them

A glaring error in the transcript of a wiretap offers insight into the reflexes of slapdash investigative journalism. A short but intense story centred on the Ranucci case and Report.

The programme’s long-standing correspondent will be working alongside Daniele Piervincenzi following Giulia Presutti’s withdrawal. She was greeted with applause and hugs upon her arrival at the newsroom. Iovene and Valesini have accepted the role of chief writers, which they had previously turned down.

The Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office investigated Lavitola as the instigator of the attack but then released him, allowing him 37 days to speak to anyone, including Ranucci, thereby compromising the evidence. Now the prosecutors have discovered that Lavitola has deleted many of the chats he exchanged with Ranucci, but to recover them, they have not seized the former Report presenter’s mobile phone.

The programme was entrusted to the De Pasquale-Piervicenzi duo, following a long list of refusals due to ‘fear’ of Sigfrido and the insults directed at Flavio Sottile and Giampaolo Rossi.
