Serena Bortone has received a letter of disciplinary complaint from Rai regarding the post she published on her social profiles on 20 April regarding the Scurati affair. The company has requested clarification and justifications for the protest, as announced by CEO Roberto Sergio. The CEO emphasized that this is not a disciplinary measure but an opportunity for the journalist to provide further information.
The complaint against Bortone stems from a violation of company policy regulations related to making public statements about company activities, news, or events. The CEO stated that this action is necessary following established regulations. The company is conducting investigations to address any procedural misalignments and individual behaviors related to the incident. The outcome will determine any necessary actions to improve processes or intervene with employees involved.
In response to the disciplinary proceedings against Bortone, Usigrai expressed their disapproval of the measures taken. During the Supervisory Commission hearing, CEO Sergio addressed various issues within the company, including attacks on Rai’s reputation, positive ratings results, handling of the Franco Di Mare case, and preparations for the European elections. He also mentioned John Travolta’s performance at Sanremo Festival controversy.
Rai is taking legal action against parties involved in violating contract terms related to performance concerns. The CEO highlighted the importance of protecting Rai from fake news and malicious attacks aimed at discrediting its reputation. Investigations are ongoing to ensure compliance with company policies and regulations in all aspects of operations. Actions will be taken to address any misconduct and protect Rai’s integrity.
In conclusion, while it may seem like a disciplinary measure, Rai’s request for clarification from Serena Bortone serves as an opportunity for her to provide additional information about her post regarding the Scurati affair while ensuring compliance with company policy regulations related to public statements about company activities and events.
