Voghera, Adriatici questioned: “I don’t remember when I shot”

Three hours of interrogation in front of the investigating judge to explain that he was a “victim of sudden and unprecedented violence”, which would have made him “fall to the ground, giving him a state of confusion”, in which he does not remember “exactly how he left the coup ”that hit and killed 39-year-old homeless Moroccan Youns El Boussetaoui on Tuesday evening in the square in Voghera. This is the defensive line held by the self-suspended Northern League councilor in the province of Pavia, Massimo Adriatici, who has been under house arrest for three days on charges of culpable excess of self-defense. Precautionary measure that the Pavia Public Prosecutor has asked to confirm and on which the decision of the investigating judge Maria Cristina Lapi is awaited. The lawyers of Adriatici, Colette Gazzaniga and Gabriele Pipicelli, who, speaking with journalists after the interrogation of their client, described him as “a destroyed person” ask for the lifting of the precautionary measure. According to the two lawyers, the councilor-sheriff, who went around armed to defend the city, is “an urban legend”. “Adriatici – they said – on Tuesday as every evening he was taking a walk”, talking on the phone with a friend, when “he noticed El Boussetaoui holding violent conduct, harassing a girl inside the bar, throwing a stool and throwing a bottle “. At that point the Northern League commissioner, with a past in the police, would have closed the call and dialed 113 first and then directly the number of the Police Headquarters. “The police operator – continues the account of the lawyer Pipicelli – feels that the mobile phone at a certain point it flies away and falls to the ground ”. It remains to understand what happened in those moments of excitement, in which Adriatici pulled out his gun – already loaded, to be able to use it “without panic” in dangerous situations – and turned it against the Moroccan to get him away. ” A shot does not start from the gun alone. I do the dynamics – if someone put their hand on him or pushed him – I don’t know and Adriatici could not answer either ”, clarified the lawyer. A defensive line that does not convince part of public opinion, which tomorrow afternoon in Voghera will take to Piazza Meardi, the site of the shooting, to ask for “Justice for Musta” and “security for all”.
