One is a talented bungler who has been operating in a shadow as bright as the sun for many years; the other is a reckless and revealing autobiographer, a narcissist of supposed exaggerated virility. Out with that big oaf from Rai

Report has turned a renowned consultant into a charlatan peddling cheap swabs. Outcome: acquitted of all charges, as the case was unfounded. “I have spent years of my life facing a trial that should never even have begun,” says the former coordinator of the microbiology units in Veneto

On the face of it, this is the most rigorous piece the programme has produced to date. We take the view that anyone who attacks Report is attacking the country, and that Report measures the level of freedom

The investigating magistrate speaks of a “deep connection” between the presenter of *Report* and the man accused of organising the attack against him. A story so typically Italian that it seems to have been written by Vasco Rossi. We await the truth from “Candide” Ranucci

The precautionary measure was issued by the investigating magistrate in Rome as part of the investigation into the explosion outside the home of the Report journalist last October in Pomezia. An arrest warrant has also been issued for Gomes Clesio Tavares

Viale dei Quattro Venti, 51, Rome. The fixer accused of attempted mafia-style mass murder in connection with the Ranucci bombing spent the whole evening on his mobile. But was it the phone that had been seized, or was it someone else’s? A top-notch restaurant. Highly recommended
