These Compton-thick candidates are the most absorbed sources among the hard X-ray selected radio galaxies studied in Panessa et al. We find an X-ray absorbing column density in every case below 1.5 × 10<SUP>24</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>, and no evidence for a strong reflection continuum or iron K α line. Therefore, none of these sources is properly Compton-thick. We review other Compton-thick radio galaxies reported in the literature, arguing that we currently lack strong evidences for heavily absorbed radio-loud AGNs.STAMPAenArticle10.1093/mnras/stx31592-s2.0-85045895439000424977800100http://arxiv.org/abs/1712.01300v1https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/474/4/5684/47122272018MNRAS.474.5684UFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
