Overview
- During the Rai3 handover, Luca Barbareschi claimed Gian Gaetano Bellavia had spied on him for two years and said he would file a lawsuit.
- Sigfrido Ranucci responded on Facebook, condemning the remarks as an “indecent rant” and stating that no judicial body has accused Bellavia of spying or dossiering.
- Ranucci added that Barbareschi asked to be scheduled after Report, suggesting the outburst sought to capitalize on the program’s audience lead-in.
- Political figures and right-leaning outlets have amplified the controversy around Bellavia and Report, with scrutiny fueling broader media attention.
- Separately, the data-theft case involving Bellavia’s studio is advancing, with ex-collaborator Valentina Varisco directly cited to trial and a July 10 pretrial hearing in Milan over allegedly copying more than one million files.
