Massimo Giletti Says Former Intelligence Operative Punched Him During Orlandi Reporting

Footage of the encounter is scheduled to air tonight on Rai 3 to document his reporting on the Orlandi case.

Overview

  • ANSA reports the incident occurred Thursday on Via del Corso in Rome as Giletti attempted on-the-street questioning.
  • Giletti says the man is a former SISDE agent who had just been heard by the parliamentary commission led by Andrea De Priamo.
  • He recounts that the confrontation escalated after he asked why services warned Emanuela Orlandi’s uncle, Mario Meneguzzi, that he was being tailed.
  • Rai 3 plans to broadcast about three and a half minutes of video on Lo Stato delle Cose, with Giletti adding that a subsequent blow was not captured after his phone was struck.
  • The journalist says he is pursuing the so‑called family lead in the decades‑old case and alleges past misdirection in the original investigation.
