Ranucci Sues Rai Over Removal as Host of 'Report'

Italian journalist Sigfrido Ranucci has filed a lawsuit against state broadcaster Rai, seeking to be reinstated as host of the investigative program "Report," according to ANSA.

Details of the legal action, including the specific grounds cited in the lawsuit and Rai's response, were not immediately available.

Ranucci is known in Italy for his work on "Report," a long-running investigative journalism program broadcast on Rai.
