About 1 kg of explosives was used in the bomb attack on Italian investigative journalist and Report presenter Sigfrido Ranucci. As a result of the explosion, the journalist and his daughter's vehicle were completely destroyed.
Italian media reported that two bombs exploded under their home in Campo Ascolano, a town in Pomezia, on the outskirts of Rome. The journalist himself reported the news on social media with a video of two destroyed vehicles.
"Two bombs," the post read, "destroyed cars parked in front of the house in Campo Ascolano, just outside Rome. They could have killed anyone; my daughter had just passed by."
Fortunately, no one was injured in the explosion. The journalist's daughter had stopped at home only half an hour before the explosions.
The journalist, however, had just returned home when he heard two explosions in rapid succession. The entrance gate to the house was also damaged.
Carabinieri and DIGOS investigators arrived at the scene and began technical investigations to determine the nature of the double explosion. The nature of the device used is still unclear.
Rome's anti-mafia prosecutors are investigating what happened on Thursday evening.
DDA prosecutor Carlo Villani, coordinated by deputy prosecutor Ilaria Calò, is investigating with a charge of criminal damage, aggravated by mafia methods, pending initial reports from law enforcement officers who went to the scene.
"They think it was a rudimentary explosive device," Ranucci explained to Italian media, adding "it could have killed someone if it had gone off at that moment."
"I still don't know how to interpret what happened. What I've done is piece together some things that have happened in recent months. I've never made them public, partly to protect the people I care about. Last summer, a year ago, we found the bullets, two P38 cartridges outside my house. Then there's a list of unusual situations that have happened in recent months, starting with the attempt to delegitimize me," he said.
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto considered it "a very serious, cowardly and unacceptable act."
"A bomb exploded Sigfrido Ranucci's car in front of his house. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the extreme importance of this act remains, affecting not only a journalist, but also the very freedom to be informed and to express oneself. Full solidarity with him and his family," commented Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.
