Four arrested over bomb attack targetting investigative journalist Ranucci

Carabinieri police said Tuesday that

they have arrested four people for allegedly carrying out a bomb

attack at the home of Rai investigative reporter Sigfrido

Ranucci last year.

The bomb was detonated in front of the gate to the journalist's

home in Pomezia, near Rome, on October 16, 2025, destroying his

two cars parked on the street, his and his daughter's, and

damaging a wall.

The suspects have been charged with criminal damage and

possession of explosives, with the use of mafia-style methods an

aggravating factor.

Investigators are also at work to the identity of those who

ordered the attack.

Ranucci presents Report, a hard-hitting show on State

broadcaster Rai that focuses on alleged crime and corruption.

Ranucci already had a security detail due to threats he has

received before the bombing.

"Now we're waiting to see how things unfold," Ranucci said on

Tuesday.

"I wanted to personally thank the Carabinieri's investigative

unit and (Prosecutor) Carlo Villani, who had promised me he

would wrap up the investigation and kept his word.

"Now we'll need to get to the bottom of the details of this

whole affair and determine if there are other layers to it."
