Di Pasquale and Piervincenzi "someone hoped that Report would be cancelled"

The new post-Ranucci season of Report kicks off with Claudia Di Pasquale and Daniele Piervincenzi hosting the program that made the history of investigative journalism on TV.

"The team is always the same, the one that was formed over time and that with its investigations created the strength of the brand, first under the leadership of Milena Gabanelli and then of Sigfrido Ranucci" assures Di Pasquale as he opens the broadcast.

"Everything and more has been written and said about what happened this summer. Perhaps someone hoped that Report would be canceled along with its thirty-year history and its autonomy, and instead we remained here to defend the program and continue to work with the same spirit as always, despite all sorts of pressure and exploitation" observes the journalist who however adds: "It wasn't easy, in fact it was painful especially on a human level, but not on a professional level, because the line remains what it has always been, a free Report, independent and rigorous".

What changes, says Piervincenzi, is that "there will be two of us leading and launching the wonderful work of our correspondents coordinated by two historic authors of the program, Bernardo Iovene and Giulio Valesini". The hosts announce the report on the misdirection of Valter Lavitola but also the hidden truths of the Vittoria di Adria Naval Shipyard, a tangle of secret services, businessmen, politics and men close to the clans that agitates around what for months was one of the leads of the Rome Prosecutor's Office in the search for Sigfrido Ranucci's attackers. A story that from Veneto crosses Campania and flies abroad until it touches the pharaonic castle on the Black Sea considered by many to be the undeclared palace of Vladimir Putin.

A story which, in addition to the role of Valter Lavitola, highlights, says Di Pasquale, a series of "twists of events where politics, secret services and organized crime will take turns".
