The Rome Prosecutor's Office is preparing to reject the request for house arrest submitted yesterday to the investigating judge by Valter Lavitola's lawyer, following the preliminary hearing during which he confessed to instigating the attack on journalist Sigfrido Ranucci . According to information, lawyer Sergio Cola's request is based—in his view—on Lavitola's "admission of responsibility" and subsequent cooperation with investigators. Furthermore , the lawyer is said to have no risk of tampering with evidence or fleeing.
Meanwhile, new details are emerging about Lavitola's statements to prosecutors : he admitted to ordering the attack, but specified that he asked the perpetrators to carry out the attack using "different methods." Not a single explosive device, therefore, but "four or five gunshots fired at the wall" of the Report host's house in Pomezia , a town near Rome, as he told the investigating judge yesterday.
According to what we have learned, after the bombing raid last October, the suspect had nothing to say, considering the explosion of a rudimentary device to be of "demonstrative value."
RANUCCI'S POSITION – Following the analysis of Valter Lavitola's cell phone and computer, investigators from the Rome prosecutor's office may now summon Sigfrido Ranucci to interview him as a person informed of the facts. According to information, the technical analysis of the devices will last several weeks, and therefore, a possible hearing of the Report host could be scheduled no earlier than September . The preliminary investigation would be necessary in light of the investigation's developments, beginning with the entrepreneur's confession yesterday. During preliminary hearings before the investigating judge, during preliminary hearings, he confessed to having instigated the attack last October and to having carried it out with the aim of "increasing Ranucci's security detail, who had been the target of numerous threats."
Meanwhile, the gang's lawyers met with their clients in prison today. The four may soon request a rehearsal by the investigating officers.
