spezzano di fiorano, emilia romagna - A controversy has erupted in the Italian media world following an interview by TV channel Mediaset in which a man confessed to a murder they coincidentally encountered on the street. The ethical implications of broadcasting such content are being questioned.

A controversy has erupted in the Italian media world following an interview by TV channel Mediaset in which a man confessed to a murder they coincidentally encountered on the street. The ethical implications of broadcasting such content are being questioned.

The interview was aired on Monday afternoon on the talk show Pomeriggio5. Reporter Fabio Giuffrida spoke with the visibly distraught fifty-year-old Lorenzo Carbone in Spezzano di Fiorano, Emilia Romagna. Giuffrida was present to report on the death of the woman but initially did not realize he had the perpetrator in front of his camera.

Carbone mentioned that his mother was suffering from dementia and he could no longer bear it. 'I strangled her. I don't know why I did it. Sometimes she made me angry because she kept repeating herself.' Following the murder, the fifty-year-old fled to the nearby town of Pavullo, then later returned to the house he shared with his mother. Meanwhile, his sister found their mother dead.

The police, who were immediately alerted by the reporter after the interview, had been searching for Carbone since Sunday. Meanwhile, the conversation was broadcasted on Italian TV, sparking outrage among Mediaset's competitors. Gaia Tortora, deputy director of TV channel TG La7, expressed indignation, stating, 'What happened on Pomeriggio5 is very serious.' She believes it is not the media's role to address such topics, let alone broadcast them. 'If we tear apart the ethical code, we have reached a low point,' she says.

Ermes Antonucci, a journalist at the newspaper Il Foglio, echoed doubts about the necessity of airing the interview. 'Wasn't it enough to call the police, which fortunately also happened, and then explain what had occurred without broadcasting the video?'

Myrta Merlino, the host of the criticized talk show, told the newspaper Corriere della Sera that she 'reasoned as a journalist' when she chose to broadcast the interview. She stated that even with hindsight, she would not have made a different choice. 'I had little time to decide. All I care about is not harming the investigation. The police granted permission to air the footage.'
