A friend of the RAI journalist who suffered an attack confesses that he put the bomb in front of his house “for his own good”
Valter Lavitola, who was close to Berlusconi and has a long judicial history, claims he ordered the attack to reinforce police protection for the journalist.
The attack last year against one of Italy's most renowned investigative journalists has been solved in the most unexpected way imaginable. Almost 10 months after a bomb exploded in front of Sigfrido Ranucci's house, the presenter of Report, the historic investigative program of Italian public television, businessman and former press editor Valter Lavitola, a close friend of the well-known journalist, has confessed to having ordered the attack.
His explanations are even more surprising: he claims he acted "for the good" of his friend ―who at that time already had police protection, due to threats he had received as a result of his investigations― to get the authorities to strengthen his protection and thus protect him from possible real attacks.
