Lavitola confessa: "Sono io il mandante dell'attentato a Ranucci, l'ho fatto per il suo bene"

Valter Lavitola has confessed to orchestrating an attack against television journalist Sigfrido Ranucci. During an interrogation lasting over five hours, Lavitola claimed the act was committed for the journalist's own benefit. Ranucci, known for his work on the program Report, responded to the admission by stating that Italy eliminates its best individuals due to an excess of clarity.

The confession has prompted immediate political and legal reactions. Lavitola's defense attorney declined to comment on whether the journalist had prior knowledge of the plot. Meanwhile, Matteo Salvini has called for the state broadcaster, Rai, to suspend its collaboration with Ranucci, citing the murky nature of the ongoing investigation.
