He is evicted and sets himself on fire in protest. It happened around 4.30pm in Riccione, on Viale Milano at number 3, where a 47-year-old man of Albanian origin doused himself with liquid, apparently using a can of fuel, and set himself on fire in front of his wife .
The man, who suffered burns over 70% of his body, was rescued by some passers-by on the street who then called 118 and the Carabinieri.
In fact, doctors from the Ceccarini hospital intervened on site, but then the 47-year-old was transported to Bufalini in Cesena. His life is not in danger. Investigating the extreme gesture of the Albanian – who lives permanently in Riccione and works as a waiter and is married to a woman, a Romanian citizen – are the Carabinieri who will try to ascertain whether it is due to the eviction suffered and which forced the couple to live on the landing of an apartment building.
