Ranucci criticises timing of Report colleagues’ support after court ruling

• 

  Sigfrido Ranucci said his former Report colleagues could have voiced their support earlier.

• 

  He was speaking after the team said it had never withdrawn its confidence in him or sought his removal.

• 

  The statement came the day after a Rome court rejected his request to be reinstated as head of the programme.

• 

  Ranucci said the ruling relied on statements by people who had called for him to leave Report.
