|Sigfrido Ranucci works for Report, one of the few investigative programmes on Italian television that regularly breaks news involving prominent Italian figures
An explosive device detonated under the car of one of Italy’s leading investigative journalists that was parked outside his home, prompting condemnation on Friday from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and others.
Report, the investigative series on Italy’s state-run RAI3, said the explosion overnight destroyed the car of Sigfrido Ranucci and damaged a second family car and the house next to it in Pomezia, south of Rome.
It said the blast was so powerful that it could have killed anyone passing by but that no one was injured in the explosion.
Police, firefighters, forensic crews were investigating, Report said.
Meloni expressed her solidarity with Ranucci, the lead anchor of Report, and condemned what she called “the serious act of intimidation he has suffered.”
