Italia 2024 has started with a political storm unleashed after an attendee at a New Year’s Eve party with members of the far-right Brothers of Italy (HdI), the prime minister’s party, Giorgia Meloniout injured by a deputy’s guna fact that the Prosecutor’s Office is investigating.
It all happened at a party at Piedmontese village of Rosazza (north) in which were, among others, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice Andrea Delmastro and the deputy Emanuele Pozzoloboth from Meloni’s party.
According to a first reconstruction of the events: after midnight, the firing of a small pistol that Pozzolo legally owns, a North American Arms LR22, wounded the son-in-law of a member of Delmastro’s bodyguard in the leg.
The injured man, 31 years old, was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital and, after being treated, he was discharged, but must be on medical leave for a week, according to local media.
This turbulent New Year’s Eve has unleashed a storm in Italy and the Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Biella, to which Rosazza belongs, has already opened a investigation to clarify responsibilities.
