Thank you for your suggestions. I had already tried moving the .pkg file out of the download folder but the same problem always occurs. I tried to investigate further and it seems that the problem is related to my account: it is probably corrupted. To verify this I tried creating a new administrator account on my Macbook M1pro where I tried downloading R and it works without any problems. So the problem is related to my account. The solution might be to make a backup with TimeMachine of the app and files and try initializing the pc in the hope that everything will work.
