Overview
- A Rome investigating judge ordered the preventive seizure and removal of the recording of a private call between Gennaro Sangiuliano and his wife, which Carabinieri took down from Maria Rosaria Boccia’s social accounts and the Campanian outlet Anteprima24.
- Boccia is under investigation for illicit interference in private life, with prosecutors alleging she acted in concert with a journalist identified in reports as Anteprima24’s Carlo Tarallo.
- The new file concerns conduct alleged to have occurred in August and follows an esposto filed by the former culture minister; the same audio had previously aired on RaiTre’s Report and figured in regulatory sanctions on the program.
- Boccia says the messages and recordings were sent and authorized by Sangiuliano and argues the seized material is useful for her defense, while Anteprima24 denounced the complaint as an intimidation and expressed confidence in the judiciary.
- A separate proceeding against Boccia—including stalking, assault, defamation and alleged false statements—has a preliminary hearing scheduled for February 9, 2026.
