Rome court rejects Ranucci’s bid to return as host of Report
Rai removed Ranucci from hosting Report in August and offered him other roles, which he declined.
He asked a court to order his return, but the court rejected his urgent appeal.
The judges said the broadcaster’s decision appeared linked to tensions in the program’s newsroom, while political pressure alone did not prove direct interference.
The ruling is not a final decision on the wider dispute.
The Rome Labour Court rejected Sigfrido Ranucci’s urgent appeal seeking reinstatement as host of the Rai programme Report.
Ranucci had challenged Rai’s decision to remove him from the programme’s presentation role.
Il Fatto Quotidiano reported that the removal was decided by Rai at the end of August 2026.
Ranucci’s lawyers asked the court to find the measure unlawful, revoke it and immediately restore him to his roles as author and host.
The articles report the court’s decision but give no explanation for its reasoning.
