One of the responsible of the violent aggression took place on the night of 11 August, during a beach party in Bivona, a hamlet of Vibo Valentia, was identified and reported by the State Police. The victim, a minor, was repeatedly hit with a ti -rapagni by a peer, reporting injuries deemed curable in 15 days.
The episode occurred near a seaside beach crowded for the night of San Lorenzo. According to what was reconstructed by the investigators, the young man would have been attacked by a group of peers for futile reasons, in a context of apparently quiet summer nightlife.
A patrol of the flying team of the General Prevention and Public Rescue Office intervened on the spot, which started the first investigations. The investigation then continued under the direction of the mobile team, which managed to trace the identity of one of the attackers.
The young man, also a minor, was reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Juvenile Court of Catanzaro on charges of aggravated personal injuries and an abusive port of improper weapon. In addition to the criminal proceeding, a prevention measure has been arranged against him: the ban on access to public exercises and entertainment premises (D.AC.ur), a provision signed by the Quaestor of Vibo Valentia, Rodolfo Ruperti.
This measure, already used in contexts of youth violence, aims to protect the safety of the city nightlife, preventing the subject involved from attending night clubs and places of aggregation.
Further investigations are currently underway to identify the other members of the group that participated in the attack.
