Gennaro Sangiuliano and his wife, journalist Rai Federica Corsinifiled two complaints, one to the Rome Prosecutor’s Office and the other to Torre Annunziata, to ask the prosecutors to find out who sent to Reports “recordings stolen illegally and even more illegally delivered”. According to the lawyers of the former Minister of Culture, this would be equivalent to the crime of “illicit interference in private life”. The audio in question is known: it is the one in which Sangiuliano talks about the ghost contract Maria Rosaria Boccia with his wife and she asks to cancel. There investigative broadcast of Siegfried Ranucci she broadcast it on Sunday night and for the ex-minister’s lawyers it was she, the enterprising influencer from Pompeii, who passed it on to the Rai3 newsroom. The only one he has, being the author of the recording, in addition to the power of attorney. How do lawyers reach this conclusion?
The complaint reports an alleged mistake by Boccia, who on Sunday afternoon published details of the broadcast on his Instagram (the messages with the FI MP Annarita Patriarch) not contained in the previews released by Reports. For the former minister’s lawyers, this would be the “sensational confirmation of the hypothesis that she is the supplier of all the material”, because “a last-minute integration of the service, on a Sunday and with a service already set up, is not conceivable”. “. ». Especially because, according to sources at Rai, director of Insights, Melonian Paulo Corsini (who ended up in the crosshairs of a center-right piece precisely because of the management of the case) would have asked Ranucci to cut the recording a few hours before the broadcast, receiving a no in response, justified by the impossibility of intervening at the last minute. The service had therefore been closed for some time.
However, the legal action filed by the former owner of Cultura (now back in Viale Mazzini) is not against Rai. But against those who passed the record to Ranucci’s team. Who yesterday defended himself on the radio in Un giorno da pecora. «The audios – says the Rai3 presenter – have an advantage: reconstructing the facts through the words of the protagonists. The “incriminated” audio is nothing particular.” And according to the journalist it wasn’t even “robbed, wrong adjective: nobody stole anything, it was Sangiuliano who called Mrs. Boccia”. Ranucci expressed solidarity “for the unworthy criticism” of the report’s author, Luca Bertazzonihe denounced the “death threats” he received and said he also discussed the audio with the interested party, Sangiuliano, “with whom I am friends, and he never asked me the problem either”.
The former minister’s lawyers dispute this version, recalling the notice to comply sent to the Reports before transmission. Yesterday Federica Corsini also received solidarity from the national council of the Order of Journalists. Ranucci responds to the criticism like this: «We could have discussed the sensitivity of transmitting Mrs. Corsini’s voice, I don’t think anyone could have doubts about the value of the content». Another complaint was filed on the matter: it is from the leader of the Forza Italia group, Mauricio Gasparri. This puts Ranucci and Rai in the crosshairs. And also the managers who should monitor it.
