意大利警方周一表示，一名与意大利前总理西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼存在关联的商人，被指是去年针对该国顶尖调查记者的炸弹袭击事件的主谋。
罗马宪兵队警方表示，他们已逮捕瓦尔特·拉维托拉，其被控策划了去年在记者西格里多·拉努奇家门外实施的袭击。据称两人是朋友。
此次爆炸发生在罗马以南约12英里的波梅齐亚一处居民区，炸毁了拉努奇的两辆车。拉努奇以调查腐败和黑手党案件闻名，他的雇主当时表示，爆炸发生时他刚回到家，而他的女儿半小时前刚从那里走过。
自2021年以来，拉努奇因调查报道尖锐强硬一直处于警方保护之下。他本人拍摄的视频显示了被严重损毁的车辆和大门。https://x.com/reportrai3/status/1978965437837697046

警方称，拉维托拉被控指使另一名男子塔瓦雷斯·戈麦斯·克莱西奥招募四名男子，在拉努奇家门前放置炸弹。这四名男子今年6月在那不勒斯附近因实施此次袭击被逮捕。
警方仍在追捕戈麦斯。
根据警方说法，拉维托拉和戈麦斯曾于9月对拉努奇的家进行过“初步侦察”。

据当地媒体援引逮捕令文件内容，拉维托拉认为这次炸弹袭击可以在拉努奇可能涉足政坛前提升他的知名度。
作为意大利国家电视台拉伊旗下每周播出的调查节目《报道》的知名主持人，拉努奇未被指控有任何不当行为，警方调查人员认为他对拉维托拉的计划毫不知情。
拉努奇过往的调查曾涉及意大利黑手党和政治腐败等敏感议题，多年来一直处于警方保护之下。袭击发生次日，他对安莎通讯社表示，自己曾收到“数不胜数的威胁”。
这位曾将拉维托拉描述为“真正的朋友”的记者在袭击中并未受伤。
拉维托拉曾是记者，后转行做进出口生意，在罗马拥有一家餐厅，在意大利颇具知名度，与2023年去世的贝卢斯科尼关系密切。
2015年，一家下级法院判定这位前总理犯有贿赂参议员罪，判处其三年监禁。同样被判处三年监禁的还有拉维托拉，检察官指控他向该议员转交了贿款。
针对拉努奇的爆炸事件发生当天，正是马耳他调查记者达芙妮·卡鲁阿纳·加利西亚遭遇汽车炸弹暗杀八周年。加利西亚曾大量报道政治和商业圈疑似腐败事件。
Italy police say businessman with ties to Berlusconi is mastermind behind journalist bomb attack

A businessman who had ties to former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi is the alleged mastermind behind an October bomb attack against one of the country’s leading investigative journalists, police said on Monday.
Rome’s Carabinieri police said they arrested Valter Lavitola for allegedly ordering the attack outside journalist Sigfrido Ranucci’s house last year. The two men are said to be friends.
The blast in a residential neighborhood of Pomezia, about 12 miles south of Rome, destroyed two cars belonging to Ranucci, known for investigations into corruption and the mafia. Ranucci had just returned home at the time, and his daughter had walked by a half-hour before, his employer said at the time.

Lavitola is accused of instructing a second man, Tavares Gomes Clesio, to recruit four men to place the bomb in front of Ranucci’s home, police said. The four men were arrested near Naples in June for carrying out the attack.
Police are still looking for Gomes.
According to police, Lavitola and Gomes took part in an “initial exploratory inspection” outside of Ranucci’s home in September.

Lavitola thought the bombing would raise Ranucci’s profile ahead of a possible career in politics, authorities wrote in the arrest warrant, according to local media.
Ranucci, the popular star of the weekly investigative show “Report” on state broadcaster Rai, is not accused of any wrongdoing and detectives believe he was unaware of Lavitola’s plans.
Ranucci has taken on sensitive topics such as Italy’s mafia and political corruption in past investigations, and has lived under police protection for years. He told the ANSA news agency the day after the attack that he had received “an endless list of threats.”
The journalist, who once described Lavitola as a “true friend,” was not injured in the attack.
Lavitola, a former journalist and import-export businessman who owns a restaurant in Rome, is well known in Italy, having been close to Berlusconi, who died in 2023.
In 2015, a lower court convicted the former prime minister of having bribed a senator, handing him a three-year sentence. The same sentence was given to Lavitola, whom prosecutors accused of having handed the cash to the lawmaker.
The explosion targeting Ranucci occurred on the eighth anniversary of the car bomb slaying of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who wrote extensively about suspected corruption in political and business circles.
