A reporter and her crew working for
Italian state broadcaster Rai were held in a Bucharest police
station for several hours Monday after an anti-vax Romanian
Senator's husband allegedly attacked them during an interview in
her office, diplomatic sources said Tuesday stressing that the
Italian embassy was instrumental in getting them released from
custody.
Lucia Goracci and her crew were detained after the alleged
attack by the husband of Senator Diana Iovanovici Sosoaca.
Foreign Undersecretary Benedetto Della Vedova said Tuesday he
had spoken to the Romanian ambassador who had voiced the
Romanian government's strong condemnation of what happened and
said that Romanian authorities had taken action against the
Senators' husband.
