Rave Viterbo, “complex scenario”. Open investigation into 25-year-old death

The rave party in Viterbo, the event in which thousands of young people from all over Europe participate in the Valentano countryside from the night between 13 and 14 August, is a “complex scenario” and an intervention “with the use of force “could result in casualties. This is explained by the spokesman of the National Police Functioned Association, Girolamo Lacquaniti, who “responding to the many public order experts of the last hour”, tries to “shed some light on the matter”. meanwhile, an investigation file has been opened on the death of a 25-year-old at the rave. The young man’s body was found in the waters of Lake Mezzano, where the boy was immersed. The crime hypothesized in the file, coordinated by the prosecutor Paolo Auriemma, is that of death as a consequence of another crime. The results of the autopsy ordered by the magistrates will also shed light on the death. “The idea of ​​a surrender by the State does not seem consistent with what is a choice (in our opinion very correct) to avoid scenarios of extraordinary risk – says Lacquaniti – The private (non-public) land as well as being particularly vast has been occupied by tens of trucks and sees the presence of thousands of people, plus there is vegetation dry action, easily flammable. In a scenario of this type, the intervention would involve the use of force which should take into account the risks associated with the movement of heavy vehicles in the crowd. In addition, the use of tear gas can cause fires with dramatic outcomes. “” Whoever cries out to scandal and urges forced interventions today, know that he is insisting on a solution where the possibility of having serious injuries or lethal events is a concrete probability – they say – For this reason, our opinion on the Quaestor’s work is absolutely positive and we address our solidarity and closeness to him. “” We are aware that the images of Viterbo appear to be a slap in the face of the situation we all live, but, from a technical and operational point of view it is fair to point out that other solutions contain real risks of much worse damage, ”he adds. ” Furthermore, the persuasion action of the Public Safety Authority has led, to date, to the removal from the area of ​​about 1,500 subjects ”, he concludes.
