Rome, Feb. 10 (LaPresse) – "Last night Giletti reposted the chats between me and Maria Rosaria Boccia. After I had explained the meaning of my messages, he nevertheless decided that I had accused him of being part of a gay lobby. This is false, but if he is so keen on identifying himself with the gay lobby, that is his problem, not mine. I said something more serious, which the two of them pretended not to understand: Cerno and Giletti are friends and at the service of Marco Mancini, the intelligence officer involved in the Abu Omar kidnapping and in the illegal Telecom-Pirelli security dossier affair. Let’s go in order." Thus, in a long post, Sigfrido Ranucci replies to Massimo Giletti, who yesterday on Lo stato delle cose on Rai3 showed the chats between the colleague and Maria Rosaria Boccia, in which Ranucci’s name also appears. On Facebook, Ranucci explains that both Giletti and Il Giornale editor Tommaso Cerno "gloss over the figure of Mancini, who is instead key in the chat, just as the meeting at the motorway service area between Renzi and Mancini is key. Cerno, as editor of L’Identità, had various articles written by Rita Cavallaro, who passed on, Luca Fazzo style, Mancini’s or the lawyers’ handouts without any adversarial check." "Both Giletti and Cerno gloss over the figure of Mancini, who is instead key in the chat, just as the meeting at the motorway service area between Renzi and Mancini is key," the journalist specifies, stressing that "the same operation was carried out by Giletti, who promoted the theory of a conspiracy by the intelligence services and of State secrecy, denied by a final ruling by the Prosecutor’s Office and by the Rome court, which ruled in favor of Report. Giletti passed off as his own investigation the papers of Mancini’s lawyers. Proof of this is that, in recounting the motorway service area affair, he made the same mistakes as the lawyers: he got the reconstruction of the events wrong, the service area toll booth and the decree in force on December 23, 2020. Giletti was exposed in this operation not by a communist newspaper, but by an investigative journalist, rough but capable, such as Giacomo Amadori of La Verità." "I regret if I disappointed Giletti on a human level; after all, who more than I has experienced the same state of mind when he tried to reveal our source, attempting to delegitimize it. This concerns the 'support teacher who had taken the images of Renzi and Mancini. Giletti went with a hidden camera in front of the school where our source accompanied her daughters, and revealed the city where she lived," Ranucci reiterates, specifying that "Giletti did not provide the context in which I spoke of Cerno as being linked to the gay lobby. At the time he was editor of Il Tempo, today of Il Giornale, and a Rai columnist. He had indulged in an editorial on L’Aria che Tira, whose tone was later echoed and summarized in a tweet. It is hard to find such a concentration of vulgarity and misogyny. Enzo Biagi, Sergio Zavoli, Andrea Barbato, just to name a few, must have been turning in their graves."
