Rome Prosecutors Seek Secret Antimafia Testimony as Report Previews Meloni–Ghiglia Messages

Investigators requested the secret portion of Sigfrido Ranucci’s Antimafia hearing to advance the probe into the October blast that destroyed two family cars.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Rome formally asked Parliament’s Antimafia commission for the 4 November Ranucci transcript, focusing on the section he requested be sealed.
  • The closed segment followed a question by ex-judge Roberto Scarpinato about alleged surveillance linked to undersecretary Giovanbattista Fazzolari, who rejects the claims and signals legal action.
  • The attack on 16 October in Pomezia is handled by the antimafia directorate on a suspected charge of damage aggravated by a mafia method after explosions wrecked vehicles outside Ranucci’s home.
  • Report’s preview says documents show privacy authority member Agostino Ghiglia alerted Giorgia Meloni on 23 April 2021 to a formal warning on the Green Pass, to which she replied “Visto, ora esco” and “bravo,” raising ethics questions for the watchdog.
  • Ranucci says the Ghiglia–Meloni messages came from material Ghiglia provided to the authority’s office, while Fratelli d’Italia’s Giovanni Donzelli calls their publication unconstitutional and the program signals further claims on conflicts of interest and a missed €40 million Meta sanction.
