With reference to the press note released by the main media agencies on an alleged “censorship” of the interview with Paolo Maldini broadcast on “Radio Serie A with RDS”, the Lega Serie A specifies that the news released is false as the full interview was broadcast twice on the radio on May 9th and, immediately, the complete draft of it was sent to all the journalistic editorial offices so that they could have full knowledge of it.
The fact that there was pressure not to air the interview is also not true, as is easy to verify given that publication depends only on the League itself.
This interview, after being broadcast in full on the radio and after the most significant excerpts had been published on the League’s official social networks, was also published, again in its entirety, on the Serie A YouTube channel, where it remained until the afternoon. Following many negative comments, including on the protagonist of the interview, the Lega Serie A, in total editorial autonomy and in compliance with a typical practice in the management of social channels and normally adopted in the past to limit similar negative sentiments, has placed the aforementioned interview in “unlisted” mode. On Friday morning, as soon as the controversy subsided, the interview was accessible again on the League’s official YouTube channel where it can still be viewed in full today.
