This evening the new episode of Report: the previews

From the Red Brigades to the arrests in Liguria: appointment on Rai 3 at 8.55pm

ROME – Have the lives of Aldo Moro, Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino, Pio La Torre and Piersanti Mattarella been sacrificed on the altar of Italy’s aspiration towards greater independence? But who are really responsible for their deaths? These questions, still unanswered today, continue to echo, casting a shadow on the historical truth and undermining the bond between citizens and politics. The episode of Report with Sigfrido Ranucci opens with the reportage by Paolo Mondani with the collaboration of Roberto Persia “The enemies of Moro and Falcone”, broadcast tonight at 8.55pm on Rai 3 and on RaiPlay. It is clear that the Red Brigades, the alleged Mafia procurement dossier, or the Mafia lead in Mattarella’s murder, are not enough to explain the complexity of those crucial moments. To fully understand the context, you need to immerse yourself in their worlds, in their tireless efforts for change. Through prominent witnesses of the time, details emerge of an Italy that has always been subjected to special surveillance.

Following, an update on the “oligarchs of the sea”, by Luca Chianca with the collaboration of Alessia Marzi. In January 2023 “Report” covered MSC, the largest shipping company in the world, with its heart in Italy and its portfolio in Switzerland. But if the main office is in Geneva, its Italian headquarters is in fact Genoa. It had emerged how interested MSC was in expanding the historic port to be able to dock increasingly larger container ships. A story that had highlighted the consolidated relationships between the largest shipowner in the world, Gianluigi Aponte of MSC, the largest Genoese shipowner, Aldo Spinelli, partner of MSC, the regional policy led by Giovanni Toti and the then president of port authority of Genoa, Paolo Emilio Signorini. Last Tuesday Toti, Spinelli and Signorini were arrested for corruption. The accusation: money in exchange for favors. Port concessions, the opening of Esselunga and Rolex supermarkets, dinners and alleged illicit political financing are targeted.

It ends with “The mayor and the mysterious department” by Rosamaria Aquino with the collaboration of Marzia Amico. Fiumicino, the airport city on the Roman coast, has had a new mayor for a year: Mario Baccini. Baccini has been a member of parliament, undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, minister of the Civil Service, vice-president of the Senate and today he still holds the position of president of Microcredit, the non-economic public body that promotes access to credit for micro-enterprises and the most disadvantaged social categories. Between consultancy, large projects such as the cruise port and expenses for events, Report analyzes his management of the Municipality. Among the funding for his electoral campaign, however, there is support from a department of a university unknown even to the mayor. Who’s behind it?
