Attack in Ranucci, the irony of Atreju: "Did your friend put a bomb under your house too?"

The Italian newspaper Il Giornale reports on a social media post by Atreju, the official account of Fratelli d'Italia's festival, which made a sarcastic comment regarding the investigation into an alleged bombing plot against journalist Sigfrido Ranucci. The post featured a photo of Ranucci with the caption suggesting that the alleged perpetrator was his friend, Valter Lavitola. The tone of the post was mocking, asking if readers had ever experienced a situation where a friend placed a bomb under their home. Ranucci has stated he is shocked by the allegations, emphasizing that Lavitola is a close friend with whom he frequently communicates. Lavitola has been searched by police on orders from prosecutors investigating whether he was involved in planning the attack alongside another person. Investigators are currently analyzing seized phones and computers to find evidence, while the motive behind the alleged attack remains under investigation.
