Italian Police Arrest Four over Journalist Bomb Attack
Authorities say the suspects used mafia-style methods in a blast that destroyed two cars and is linked to Ranucci’s corruption investigations.
- On Tuesday, Carabinieri police arrested four suspects near Naples for the October 2025 bomb attack targeting investigative journalist Sigfrido Ranucci, which destroyed two cars at his Pomezia home.
- The Carabinieri stated the suspects are 'strongly suspected' of using explosive devices and mafia-style methods, acting in a group of more than five people targeting Ranucci's home.
- Investigators continue searching for unidentified 'third parties' who provided funds and planning support, while Rome's anti-mafia prosecutor's office describes the probe as 'particularly complex.'
- Ranucci, host of the investigative program 'Report' on RAI, previously told news agencies he received 'an endless list of threats' and has lived under police protection since 2021.
- The attack occurred on the anniversary of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia's car bomb slaying, as Italy ranks 56th globally in press freedom according to Reporters Without Borders.
