Overview
- At the parliamentary Vigilance Commission, Sigfrido Ranucci argued the Sangiuliano recording met a clear public-interest threshold despite the privacy watchdog’s sanction.
- He requested a closed session to address claims that intelligence monitored him after a Report segment on the premier’s father and restated safety concerns following an explosive device outside his home.
- Rai news chief Paolo Corsini attributed fewer Report episodes to network-wide funding cuts and noted an early-season focus on figures linked to the governing party, stressing there was no coercion.
- Undersecretary Giovanbattista Fazzolari rejected any role in surveillance and said he is evaluating legal action over the accusations.
- FdI senator Raffaele Speranzon cited data alleging 94% of recent Report pieces targeted the centre-right, as the once-stalled Vigilance Commission resumed activity with the hearing.
