The legal and professional dispute involving Sigfrido Ranucci and the investigative program ‘Report’ has intensified. Following public comments made on the Rai 3 program ‘Filorosso’, Ranucci issued a rebuttal against former collaborators. He specifically denied allegations from Alberto Nerazzini that he had censored investigations, stating, “I have never censored anyone, on the contrary, I have defended every product of my correspondents.” Amidst the ongoing legal proceedings regarding his removal from ‘Report’, Ranucci has reportedly been offered alternative roles within Rai, such as positions at Rainews, Tg3, or the Il Cairo correspondence office. Rai has also issued a 10-day disciplinary suspension to Ranucci involving a work stoppage and loss of pay, following an internal investigation into allegations of unauthorized entries, private communications with a political deputy, forwarding corporate documents, and disparaging remarks toward colleagues. Ranucci’s counsel has announced plans to contest the suspension. The Rome Labor Court has rejected an urgent appeal by Ranucci seeking reinstatement as a host of ‘Report’. Judge Donatella Casari ruled that Rai’s decision to reorganize editorial staff was a legitimate organizational measure to resolve internal tensions. Ranucci criticized the ruling, claiming his removal was part of a coordinated effort to ‘erase the history of Report’. The ‘Report’ editorial team issued a statement asserting they never requested his removal and that the program remains independent of political influence. The show is set to continue under Daniele Piervincenzi and Claudia Di Pasquale. Additionally, Ranucci has declined offers to run in upcoming general elections. He also addressed criticisms from Corrado Formigli regarding his past association with Valter Lavitola, a former source arrested for allegedly commissioning an attack near Ranucci’s home. While a judge ruled Ranucci had no knowledge of the plot, Ranucci defended his position, urging critics to verify facts.
