Italian TV star Ranucci loses his show after alleged assassination

Italian TV journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, known for his investigative work on organized crime and corruption, had his show canceled after a bomb attack was carried out against his home on October 16, 2025. No one was injured, but two cars were destroyed. The attack was orchestrated by Valter Lavitola, a former Berlusconi associate and convicted criminal, who claimed it was staged to increase Ranucci’s security and enhance his status among center-left voters ahead of the next parliamentary elections. Lavitola, who was arrested recently, admitted to planning the attack but insisted it was meant to protect Ranucci and boost his political standing as a potential opposition candidate against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
