Two killers would have been hired by a boss linked to the 'Ndrangheta to physically eliminate Sigfrido Ranucci , deputy director of Rai3 and presenter of Report : the journalist, already under guardianship for years, has seen his escort level "H24" raised .
The investigations started in July and in mid-August , when investigators better identified the sender of the message forwarded to the hit men, it was decided to intensify the escort . «My home is already under surveillance, now it is also guarded at night. In fact - explains the journalist and deputy director of Rai3 - I cannot move freely without two people following me in my movements, I have cars under the house and I cannot take anyone with me ». But for what reason this purpose of revenge? "We talked about it in transmission on more than one occasion." And how were the two foreign killers identified? "They are perhaps two Albanians, so I was told, but there is no certainty, they must have feedback, there is an investigation." And the joker? "It seems once he ordered to hit a lawyer, he was saved by a miracle by the release of a bullet, which did not touch vital organs."
Ranucci had received several death threats over the years , such as those reported by his own program last January. In the episode of January 4, the convicted Francesco Pennino had revealed that Ranucci had already been the target of threats in 2010 from circles close to the boss Beppe Madonia, after the publication of the book “Il Patto”, written with Nicola Biondo on the alleged State-Mafia negotiation.
