Shock revelation from Sigfrido Ranucci, regarding the matter concerning Flavio Tosi: «I had an oblique thought, I thought of throwing myself out of the window because I felt so hurt. The reactions that were there at that time were very heavy against me, I was really convinced that I had closed a career that still had to take off. It was a really difficult moment in my life, the most complicated». The same journalist and host of Report, guest of Rai Radio1, tells it to A Day as a Sheep, hosted by Giorgio Lauro and Geppi Cucciari.
The “Tosi affair”
The facts that Ranucci talks about concern the former mayor of Verona Flavio Tosi, convicted at first instance for having defamed the conductor and author of Report. Tosi in 2014, when he was mayor, had the correspondent of the Rai 3 show filmed who was conducting an investigation on the Veronese administration. The then mayor had deposited the tapes in the prosecutor's office before the broadcast and had publicly accused Ranucci of building a false dossier using Rai's black funds, asking for disciplinary measures against the journalist. The accusation then proved to be false.
Ranucci's statements
Today Ranucci lives under escort, but has explained that he does not fear for his life: «I'm not afraid, there are worse things and thanks to the escort I can continue to do my job in freedom». «This morning at Report four new criminal proceedings arrived on old episodes and a request for mediation from the Berlusconi family on the two episodes we did. The lawyer of the Berlusconi family who sent it to us and unfortunately wants to be also the university professor of my son. Who however at his exam, of civil law, took 30...», he still told A day as a sheep.
On a possible move to Discovery
The program that he conducts has recorded excellent ratings even with the shift of the broadcast. «We are very satisfied with the results obtained in the transition to Sunday, we have kept almost all our audience even though we are certainly not happy to go against Fazio».
Has he ever thought, like you, of moving to Discovery? «No, I love Rai, maybe someone would be happy if I left, but I don't give them this satisfaction. Maybe - he explained - someone perceives me as a problem, but me and my team feel like resources».
