Case Report Valter Lavitola attacked in Rebibbia: slapped by other prisoners

Valter Lavitola, an entrepreneur and former publisher under investigation in connection with an October attack against journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, was reportedly slapped by other inmates at the Rebibbia prison in Rome. The incident occurred yesterday, according to reports from La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera. Lavitola was immediately taken for medical evaluation, but his condition is said to be stable, and he is not in danger. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the attack, including the exact timing and dynamics. Lavitola’s lawyer, Sergio Cola, stated that the incident likely occurred between 5 PM and 8 PM, based on a phone call with Lavitola at 5 PM. The defense team has filed an appeal to the Riesame Court after their request for house arrest was denied due to lack of evidence supporting Lavitola’s claims. Meanwhile, investigators continue examining electronic devices seized from Lavitola, where some messages were deleted. The legal team prioritizes preparing documentation for the Riesame hearing scheduled for September 7, while waiting for further investigations into the prison incident.
