Overview
- The Garante della privacy ordered Fabrizio Corona to immediately delete the Bova audio from Falsissimo Episode 13 (from minute 38:43) and an Instagram reel, and prohibited any further reproduction, with a 30‑day window to appeal.
- The regulator cited persistent virality on YouTube—reported at over 1.3 million views—and Corona’s failure to comply with an August 4 warning in justifying the urgent action.
- Following the order, Corona removed the audio from his YouTube episode and social accounts, then posted that the episode would be restored and hinted at new accusations, statements he shared via Instagram.
- The disputed recording is tied to a reported attempted blackmail investigation involving Bova’s relationship with Martina Ceretti, with the polizia postale probing and Federico Monzino denounced.
- As the fallout continued, Bova canceled a scheduled appearance at Francavilla d’Ete’s Notte dell’Orgoglio Marchigiano an hour before start time, drawing public criticism from the town’s mayor.
