Rai, Ranucci: on Report only mud, never paid a source

Share

03 May 2021 "In these hours the agencies have hit a note from the Italia Viva party in which a parliamentary question is announced where it is assumed that Report, through Rai, has paid its own source about 45 thousand euros to create a report against the senator Renzi. It's about mud: in 25 years Report has never paid a source and, above all, has never made reports against ".

Siegfried Ranucci, curator and host of the Rai3 program, said this in a press release, also underlining it as a guest of Gianluca Semprini at 'What remains of the day' on RaiNews.

"#Report has never paid a source in 25 years."

Thus Siegfried #Ranucci guest of @gianlusempri at #quelcherestadelgiorno on @RaiNews, introducing the themes of the episode broadcast tonight at 9.20pm on @RaiTre.

"We - Ranucci insists in the press release - have as the only publisher of reference the public that pays the fee. In the same note then reference was made to some emails that I would have exchanged with Conte's spokesperson at the time Rocco Casalino even on letterhead. I never use letterhead, I never sent mail to Casalino, it is a poisoned dossier we had been tracking for some time, luckily we had intercepted it from January and also other colleagues who were about to print it realized that it was a sensational fake ".

"All this - continues Ranucci - takes place individually, the day we announced and we will broadcast this evening some images concerning Senator Renzi who meets at the edge of a service station the secret agent 007 Marco Mancini, the agent who he had been involved in an illegal dossier activity in the Telecom case in 2006 and in the kidnapping of Abu Omar ".

"The greatest bitterness - concludes the deputy director of Rai3 - is to acknowledge that these notes come from the very people who in these hours have evoked freedom of expression in the Fedez case. Here, I mean that freedom of expression cannot be evoke as if it were a T-shirt, that you take it off in the evening and put it back in a drawer and put it back on when it suits you. We will be broadcast regularly this evening at 9.20 pm on Rai3 ".
