Lucrezia Ciotti An unexpected live incident hindered Mario Giordano during the October 25 episode of "Fuori dal Coro" on Rete 4. The host asked to rerun a report on Youssef Siher, triggering a brief blackout that also affected the production team. The incident occurred while attention was focused on the case of the thirty-year-old pro-Palestine activist, who had been arrested and charged with aggravated incitement to commit a crime with the intent of terrorism.
Youssef Siher, hearing at San Vittore: the Prosecutor's Office requests that he remain in prison.
The report was dedicated to Youssef Siher , a thirty-year-old researcher and pro-Palestine activist , believed by investigators to be the administrator of the October 17 Movement's Instagram page and Telegram chat, which emerged after the clashes and devastation in Milan. The management of these social media channels is at the center of the investigation: the young man is charged with aggravated incitement to crime with the aim of terrorism and organized violence at public demonstrations.
Today, Tuesday, October 27, the hearing to validate the arrest took place in Milan's San Vittore prison . According to Repubblica , Siher apparently chose to exercise his right to remain silent before the investigating judge.
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has requested validation of the arrest and pre-trial detention , citing the risk of escape and the risk of repetition of the alleged crimes.
The thirty-year-old's lawyers disagreed, contesting the charges and rejecting the suggestion of criminal conduct. " There was no conduct that incited the violence ," stated Benedetto Ciccarone, as reported by Repubblica . The decision on the suspect's position now rests with the judge, who will evaluate the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense's arguments.
Mario Giordano's unexpected live broadcast on Fuori dal Coro: a report on Youssef Siher
Mario Giordano experienced a moment of difficulty on live television during the episode of Fuori dal Coro broadcast on Sunday, October 25, on Rete 4. Around 23 p.m., the host was about to introduce a segment on Youssef Siher , but a hesitation forced him to interrupt his speech and turn to the technical team. " No, sorry, let's do it again, please be patient, " he said to the cameras, momentarily forgetting he was live. The request to repeat the segment created an unscheduled incident that also involved the director, who was unable to immediately address the situation without interrupting the broadcast.
The program started normally, but only aired for a few seconds. The footage returned to the studio before the screen went completely black, briefly leaving viewers without the normal video feed. The mix-up was quickly resolved : once the broadcast was restored, Giordano re-presented the footage, this time without further hesitation. The program then continued without any further reported interruptions.
