Ranucci attack: Lega says, “It is right to halt *Report* following disturbing developments in the investigation”

Rome, 12 July (LaPresse) – “That’s only right. Following the disturbing developments in the investigation concerning Mr Ranucci, and whilst we await full clarification of an increasingly murky affair, it is our duty to safeguard the credibility of the public service, which is funded by Italian citizens.” So said the Lega on social media, posting a graphic featuring the programme’s presenter Sigfrido Ranucci and Valter Lavitola in the foreground, alongside the caption ‘Ranucci case: Rai suspends summer repeats of Report’.
