Crime of Voghera, Adriatici: “I don’t remember how that blow started”

by admin

“I don’t have a precise memory, I don’t know how that shot started.” In the hours when a judge is deciding whether he can return to freedom, Massimo Adriatici offers a new version of how the bullet that killed Youns El Boussetaoui in front of the ‘Ligure’ bar in Voghera started. The Northern League Security Councilor had at first reported to the investigators that he had exploded it accidentally, during the fall induced by the punch taken by the homeless man of Moroccan origin. Now, through his lawyers who improvise a press conference in a courtyard under their office, he makes it known that he does not have a clear memory on the point due to the confusion in which he was due to the punch that led to significant abrasions “noted by the doctor lawyer appointed by the Prosecutor “and the breaking of the glasses, disorienting for” a very short-sighted subject “. «He remembers a person who pounces on him and hits him while holding the weapon while falling – say the lawyers Colette Gazzaniga and Gabriele Pipicelli – Then he is confused. What is certain is that he was the victim of unprecedented and sudden violence and did not attack anyone, it is wrong to speak of a dispute ». “Repentant for what happened? We cannot speak of repentance for something he did not want to do – this is the response of the defenders to the ‘classic’ question of the reporters on these occasions -. Adriatici is destroyed for what is a huge and at times desperate disgrace. Like anyone because a person is dead, there is a criminal case underway and above all he is destroyed in being described by the media as a sheriff who is not because he is not “I’ve never seen a sheriff call the police like he did. He’s a person of great humanity.”

The fact that Adriatici does not remember whether the blow started accidentally or not does not move the discussion much towards the level of self-defense. In the prosecutor’s office they are convinced, also based on the video in which part of the attack with the fist is seen except for the shooting phase, that he acted in a condition of perceived danger, with a disproportionate reaction compared to the real one of a limping man and not armed but not such as to configure the hypothesis of a murder crime for which he was initially arrested. The shot was still in the barrel, “he always had it because, when someone is trained as a policeman and carries a weapon, he knows that if he is in a dangerous situation he can panic. If you remove the safety, however, you can shoot without stress and not having to carry out further activities that take you away time. Moreover, when the port of a weapon is released, an investigation is carried out first, which is carried out by a competent authority which ascertains the psychological suitability of the subject, including the psychological one “.

Speaking of the video recorded by a camera near the bar, prosecutors Mario Venditti and Roberto Valli hired a computer engineer to draw up a consultancy to make the images clearer. Meanwhile, it transpires that “an important detail” has already emerged that goes in the direction of the hypothesis of the investigators, of a legitimate defense that is too “vigorous”. The investigating judge Maria Cristina Lapi has the task of assessing whether there is, as the prosecutor believes, the danger of probative pollution and repetition of the crime. The decision should arrive on Saturday on the day when the associations and citizens of Voghera gathered in the name of anti-racism will demonstrate to express solidarity with the family members of the Moroccan citizen. Mayor Paola Garlaschelli is worried about any unrest and has invited the shopkeepers of Piazza Meardi, where El Boussetaoui died, “to pay due attention”, suggesting “to evaluate the possible closure of their activities”.
