Far-right government accused of leaning on state broadcaster to axe programme by journalist who criticised ministers
Italy’s far-right government has been accused of leaning on the state broadcaster to axe an anti-mafia television programme by the journalist Roberto Saviano after he criticised the country’s leaders.
Four episodes of Saviano’s programme, Insider, Face to Face With Crime, had already been recorded and were scheduled for broadcast in November by Rai, the Italian state broadcaster.
