Chiara cazzaniga
reporter at Chi l'ha visto? - Rai3
Chiara Cazzaniga graduated in 2002 from Ca’ Foscari University in Venice in Arabic, at the Faculty of Languages and Eastern Civilizations. Passionate about the Middle East, she spent a long time in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Yemen to study Arabic and travel. Since the attack on the Twin Towers, she has been studying the evolution of Islamic terrorism on the web, from the early videos of al Qaeda to the official channels of Daesh.
She attended the School of Journalism in Urbino from 2002 to 2004. As a professional journalist, she collaborated with Il Sole 24 Ore. She started working on television in 2005 as a correspondent for Enrico Mentana for the program Matrix. After Mediaset, she moved to Rai, working on several programs including "L’ultima parola," "Presunto colpevole," and "Leader" by Lucia Annunziata. Since 2013, she has been working with Federica Sciarelli as a correspondent for "Chi l’ha visto?".
In 2015, with the support of Federica Sciarelli, after a year of research, she found and interviewed Ali Ahmed Rage, also known as Gelle, in England, the key witness of the Alpi Hrovatin murder. Thanks to that interview, the lawyers of Hashi Omar Hassan, the only one convicted for the double murder, could request a review of the trial that sentenced him to 26 years for a crime he never committed. In October 2016, after spending 17 years in prison as an innocent, Hashi Omar Hassan was acquitted by the court of Perugia for lack of evidence. With this investigation, she won the Articolo 21 Award. She was a witness for the Roberto Morrione Award in 2022, and in 2023, she won the special award "Journalist of the Year" at the Forensic Awards.
