Rome, 10 July (LaPresse) – Regarding the attack, “I still think the aim was to cut off the flow of information to *Report*”; as for the suggestion that I wanted to enter politics, “that’s rubbish – I’ve never wanted to”. Thus, in an interview with the Corriere della Sera, Sigfrido Ranucci explains: “I haven’t succumbed to the enticements of any political camp. Centre-left. Centre-right. Political movements. My answer is the same as the one I gave to Francesco Filini of Fratelli d’Italia on one occasion. I’m not standing for election, because if they elect me, I’ll end up on the Rai supervisory committee.” As for his relationship with Valter Lavitola, “his mobile number appears in the address books of every Italian newspaper editor. And I was introduced to him by Guido Ruotolo (a journalist and brother of the PD MEP, ed.) right there in that famous restaurant of his.” Finally, when asked whether he is following the recent reports about the explosive device found outside his home, Ranucci replies: “The theory of a Trump-style attack? It’s a pity I’ve always refused to stand for election. It doesn’t hold water.”
Ranucci: “I’ve had requests, but I’m not standing for election”
