Valter Lavitola: Rome judges uphold imprisonment in Ranucci bombing case

Judges of the Rome Review Court have described the investigative material against Valter Lavitola as 'granitic' regarding the existence of serious evidence. In their motivations for upholding his imprisonment, the court addressed the bombing that occurred at the residence of Sigfrido Ranucci.

The court confirmed the precautionary measure of imprisonment for the former publisher, who has confessed to being the mastermind behind the attack. Additionally, the judges upheld the aggravating factor of the 'mafia method' in the proceedings.

The court highlighted contradictions in Lavitola's statements concerning the organization of the explosive attack. While Lavitola initially claimed he gave specific instructions to Clesio Tavares Gomes to fire shots at the house, he later modified his version, suggesting he may have given a 'blank mandate' or accepted the risk that the co-defendant might deviate from his instructions.
