Ranucci suspended for 10 days by Rai, the lawyer: 'We will appeal'

Sigfrido Ranucci, ex conduttore del programma 'Report' su Rai, ha ricevuto una sospensione di 10 giorni dal lavoro e dalla retribuzione dopo aver subìto una rimozione dalla conduzione del programma. I suoi legali, guidati da Roberto De Vita, hanno annunciato intenzione di presentare un ricorso contro questa decisione. Le motivazioni della sospensione includono contestazioni disciplinari relative a ingressi di un collega vicino a Ranucci, pubblicazioni di conversazioni private, comunicazioni email e critiche a colleghi. Inoltre, la Rai ha annunciato che il nuovo conduttore di 'Report', previsto a partire dall'8 novembre, sarà Claudia Di Pasquale.

Sigfrido Ranucci has been suspended for ten days from his work and pay by Rai, Italy's public broadcaster, amid ongoing legal proceedings over his removal from hosting the program Report. His lawyer, Roberto De Vita, announced plans to appeal the disciplinary action. The suspension comes as the labor court in Rome prepares to rule on Ranucci’s emergency appeal against his dismissal from Report, which was announced earlier this year. The disciplinary measure reportedly stems from four allegations: repeated entries by Laura Cianfoni, a former Cisl union official close to Ranucci, into Rai premises; the publication of private conversations with M5S MP Dario Carotenuto; forwarding internal company emails to Valter Lavitola; and alleged derogatory remarks directed at colleagues Giulia Presutti and Daniele Piervincenzi, who were initially considered successors to Ranucci on Report. Presutti later withdrew, and the new host of the show, scheduled to begin on November 8, will be Claudia Di Pasquale. De Vita criticized the timing of the suspension, noting that it follows the submission of detailed defenses by Ranucci’s legal team challenging both the substance and methodology of Rai’s accusations. He stated that the court had given both parties until September 30 to submit their arguments, though additional submissions may have been required before October 1. A ruling on Ranucci’s request for reinstatement is expected soon, possibly within the coming days. Rai has extended the deadline for Ranucci to choose among three options offered by the network, assistant director at Tg3 or Rainews, or correspondent in Cairo, to October 13. Paolo Corsini, director of Rai’s News Department, expressed skepticism about the possibility of Ranucci being reinstated, calling it "ucronia," or a hypothetical scenario. Corsini emphasized that Rai believes its actions have been correct and lawful, adding that the organization is working "serenely." The M5S party criticized Corsini’s comments as an example of "outrageous arrogance" that exceeds acceptable boundaries. Meanwhile, Ranucci has continued to engage with his audience through social media, citing lyrics from the Italian singer Fabrizio De Gregori and announcing upcoming appearances, including one in Bologna on Saturday. He has also reiterated his commitment to his supporters, stating he would always be "with you." The exact dates of Ranucci’s suspension have not yet been disclosed by Rai, and further updates are anticipated.

Rai suspends Ranucci: ten days of stoppage.

Sigfrido Ranucci, ex-conduttore del programma 'Report' su Rai, ha subìto una sospensione di dieci giorni dall'azienda pubblica dopo aver ricevuto quattro contestazioni disciplinari. Tra le motivazioni vi sono l'ingresso ripetuto di Laura Cianfoni, amica e sindacalista, nella sede Rai, una conversazione con un deputato grillino, email inviate a un politico e critiche rivolte a due colleghi. Ranucci ha contestato la decisione, accusando la Rai di discriminazione e di applicare il codice etico in modo ingiusto. L'avvocato del giornalista ha annunciato che impuggerà il provvedimento, mentre il direttore dell'Approfondimento Rai, Paolo Corsini, ha espresso dubbi sulla possibilità di un reintegro. I rappresentanti del Movimento 5 Stelle hanno criticato le dichiarazioni di Corsini come 'sfrontatezza senza limiti'.
