Luigi Perfetti – 11/10/2016 – The last rebuttal
Milena Gabanelli, historical face of the Report transmission, leaves the management of the investigative program of Rai3.
«After twenty years, I think it's time to say this will be my last season hosting Report. Goodbye? It's a bad word» – announced Gabanelli herself yesterday. Therefore, at least officially, there would be no disagreements with the management at the basis of the unexpected decision. Even if one cannot help but notice that the decision came after the decision by Fazio-Bignardi to move the broadcast to Monday evening.
But Gabanelli will not retire. «I will continue to do my job, within this Rai where I have always been free to tell what I have deemed useful and necessary. And maybe I'll go back to reporting, just for Report».
Meanwhile, last night's episode aired was one of the deadly ones. Not for anything else was it followed by 2.6 million viewers with a share of 10.1%. The subject of the article is Lorenzin's choice to send as representative of our country to Brussels on the subject of food safety, medicines and veterinary health 
such Pasqualino Rossi.
It is a manager, arrested in 2008 by the Turin prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello on charges of corruption, along with other government officials and executives in the pharmaceutical industry. The trial was time-barred and closed in September 2015. Obviously in Italy there is the sacrosanct presumption of innocence, but what are the criteria on the basis of which Minister Lorenzin decided to choose Rossi to represent Italy?
«He was the only one who knew languages» the incredible answer that measures how badly we are in our country…
Hired in 1998 by the Ministry of Health as medical director, Rossi over the years has become a manager of Aifa, the Italian drug agency. In the 400 pages explaining the provision, the Gip of Turin writes: «From what has emerged, there is a total absence in Rossi of interest in the protection of public health».
Behind the consideration in cash and various gifts, according to the allegations, Rossi would have passed on confidential information to the pharmaceutical informants, facilitated the procedures for the approval of drugs on the market and "helped" those in difficulty, such as Riccardo Braglia, director of Helsinn Healthcare, the pharmaceutical group producing nimesulide, the active ingredient of Aulin. As is well known, years ago this medicine risked being withdrawn from the market due to suspected links to liver damage. But Aulin was saved and Braglia, according to what was reconstructed by the magistrates, thanked Rossi in the most traditional of ways: a bribe hidden inside a newspaper.
Rossi's defense is disarming: «I thought they were banal, I've never done things contrary to official duties». And now he represents us in Brussels.
