Sigfrido Ranucci, the presenter of
Rai's 'Report' TV show, said Tuesday that police were searching
the programme's offices at the state broadcaster and the home of
one of its journalists over material it showed on Monday about
the 1992 Capaci Mafia bombing in which anti-mafia prosecutor
Giovanni Falcone was killed.
Monday was the 30th anniversary of the Capaci bombing in which
Falcone's wife and three of his bodyguards were also murdered.
The investigative journalism show presented evidence suggesting
Stefano delle Chiaie, the leader of the Neofascist group
Avanguardia Nazionale, was at the scene of the bombing.
Ranucci said via Facebook that the DIA anti-mafia officers were
staging the searches to "seize evidence regarding last night's
report
"The investigators are also looking for documents and witness
statements on mobile telephones and computers".
It is suspected that figures outside Cosa Nostra were also
involved in the Capaci bombing.
Caltanissetta Prosecutor Salvatore De Luca said the journalist
was not under investigation and the searches were being staged
to verify the authenticity of the sources.
