En bilbomb har detonerat utanför bostaden till den italienske undersökande journalisten Sigfrido Ranucci, i ett villaområde nära Rom. Ranucci och hans dotter var hemma vid tillfället, men ingen av dem skadades fysiskt. Explosionen var kraftfull nog att skaka hela huset, uppger italienska medier.

Händelsen har gett upphov till omfattande uppmärksamhet i Italien, där skyddet för reportrar som granskar den organiserade brottsligheten länge varit en känslig fråga. Ranucci har i flera år levt med personskydd till följd av hot knutna till sitt arbete.

En affärsman, som stått Ranucci nära under en längre tid, greps tidigare under veckan misstänkt för att ha legat bakom bombdådet. Enligt hans advokat ska mannen ha medgett inblandning i attacker. Det framgår av uppgifter som letttats av italienska åklagare. Redan i sluta av juni tog polisen in fyra personer som misstänks för att ha utfört attentatet på uppdrag av av affärs mannen.

Förklaring till dådet är enligt affärs mannens advokat att hanagra ville stärka skyddet kring journalisten. Ett uttalande som har mött andra och amphibience i Rom. En bomb nära en bosted med journalisten och hans barn närvarande. Ursäkta ”skydd” has framförts a lawyer in the context of preliminary promo. The prosecutor’s office has yet noch bowling den to considerations as an excuse.

Sigfrido Ranucci är en av Italiens mest kända undersökande reportrar. Han ärit problem under senare år ansikts ut of the public service showbra ”Report” på Rai 3. Man har through long film and transcript investigated organized crime, political corruption, and close bands between politics and enterprise. Maffia and that, threaten the world. ”Ha har varit känd as a person.” His safety has long been done as an emergency. The continuous police protection has resulted from documented threat, and the grounds have often been the strong side of his report.

The attack is now the fact that in Italie, in truth, it was a suppression. Over the information police press ”long periods” the threat picture against journalists onhas persisted. The maffian has traditionally in the south, but none of the forms of attacks are considered internal in modern work.

A lot of action and TV producers. Journalists particularly on guard are did work on dark economics, war about state contacts, ownership and power. These news themes are in Rome. In a broadcasting and digital era. Already challenging the IT operations of knowledge is increasingly dangerous. There is showed by Professor Mila, who asks ”Where are transparency in Maybe there is no place.”

The discovery of the stalled businessman has been a temple place in Roman judicial. It may be from a normal consideration: a businessman with a personal personal relationship to a threatened reporter may choose a criminal method to bring safety? The paradoxical has begun with advances in the attitude to atave independent courts. It is seen by the prosecution to be focusing on all aspects of evidence and to make no judgment that the statement is simply placed ”absence,” but rather to test it.

The security of the police around the cops in an neutral way has been adjusted. Ranucci’s own emergency is reported in both ”the ”enquête” and the Italian right side. At one cost, the journalist has continued his normal activities. It is known to be an active. Against belief, though he did not, he has not been asked.

In the legal proceedings, the four men with the accused and the businessman are in custody. The case is confirmed as a ”cold” matter, but
